Fibe TV Signal source? - Canadian TV, Computing and Home Theatre Forums

Curious?

How does Fibe TV get their signals for all their channels they carry?

I know its fibe from one place out to all its subs, but how does that main distribution center get their signals?

The reason I ask is if they have a Bell Dish to get the signals(at main center)and then send them to their subs via fiber, you'll get rain fade, then whats the point to switching to Fibe TV?

Do you honestly think they use a 20" Dish like you have.?

Lots of BDU's get signals via Satellite, lets not start another "The Sky is falling" thread, talking about rain fade on Fibe. It can happen on ANY distribution network, ANY.

It's a combination of satellite, fibre and over the air

I have had Bell Fibe TV and never seen any Rain Fade... whatever that means.. The picture is Crystal clear, I have to say that comparing to Rogers - Bell Fibe is outstanding, its a state of the art service.... Love it.
