The video on demand is currently in Beta testing and will only be available on 9241 and 9400 model receivers. It is not Crave TV content. It is movie network on demand, Global TV on demand, History channel on demand, etc. To make the video on demand work, you need to have your receiver connected to the internet, be part of the Beta testing at this time.
Here is a post that has been put up on various sites relating to the WWE Network and Bell:
The WWE Network deal that Rogers finalized with Bell Canada officially starts on January 15th, and is expected to increase subscriptions for the digital service as Bell customers have reportedly requested the WWE Network in droves.
joshwild, since Bell has already announced that CraveTV will be available on some STBs, I suspect they will use the same interface as the other On Demand services.
the following message is available on Bell's website:
Fibe TV customers
You can access CraveTV™ content on your TV with the On Demand service, on your smartphones and tablets with the Bell TV and CraveTV™ apps as well as on your computer.
Satellite TV customers
You can only access CraveTV™ on your smartphones and tablets with the Bell TV and CraveTV™ apps as well as on your computer.
therefore,it seems like it won't be available on Satellite TV.at least not soon..
I think Bell's bandwith is maxed out. I don't see them adding any new HD channels without first dropping other HD or SD channels. The WWE Network doesn't interest me. I haven't watched wrestling in years. At $11.99 a month The WWE Network is priced a little steep for most people.
I am not sure the reason for the delay by Bell in launching since they now have the agreement with Rogers, but here is another website that alludes to the delay:
Accord to the guide(at least on Fibe)that Royal Rumble event is scheduled on their VU PPV channel. The funny thing is I've read multi wrestling sites now stating this deal, YET? I have not seen any "Official" press release from Bell Media or Rogers Media stating that a deal has been signed or if they'll carry it.
Until I see an "Official" press release from Bell Media this whole issue with Bell carrying the WWE Network is only "Rumor" and may not be true?
