US $25 Million Awarded to ExpressVu - Canadian TV, Computing and Home Theatre Forums

...Telesat also received an insurance claim worth US$49.8 million due to a malfunction on its Nimiq 2 satellite in February that interrupted service for Bell ExpressVu, BCE's satellite television service provider. Half of the claim amount went to ExpressVu

I wonder how many subscribers will be entitled to this slice for interupted services?

Perhaps they will rescind the $2.99 CASST fee - whoops! - I meant "System Access Fee" - the fee you have to pay to access the system on top of the fee you have to pay to access the system.

Are you suggesting somehow that CASTT is influenced by ExpressVu? Say it ain't so! :roll:

My guess is they are the biggest contributor to CASST. Just a shot in the dark. :wink:
