This is probably BEV's attitude concerning American satellite television. I think the issue is more complicated than that.

Look it up sometime.

Nem, who says that canada, despite tony's idea, is not the Gulag

Exactly the point: we have a lot more freedom here than our poor cousins south o' the border: the draconian measures the FCC uses to impose restrictions would never be tolerated here... especially in areas of concentration of ownership (Ever tried to find an interesting radio station in the States? It's hard to do, since increasing concentration of ownership means more "corporate radio" without much choice of what you can hear!) and adult stuff (recall the fiasco over the Janet Jackson "wardrobe malfunction"? Anywhere else in the civilized world, it would have been an utter non-issue, but you'd think the world had ended the way the FCC cracked down...)

'Nuff said.

Folks, we seem to be moving away from the topic of this thread.

Let's get back to the topic at hand please.

Just what I was thinking!

I am hoping, use that word loosely, that BEV after this completed card swap will add more channels. Yes I want my Porn, Adult Movies XX Movies whatever you wanna call em. I wanna see Jill kelly, Sydnee Steele, Jenna Haze. And if Rogers, Shaw and Star Choice carry all or some, I seen an ad in The Sun for AOV so they got an advertsising campaign going, I will sub to 2 of them for sure. I have watched Ten, Tenxtsy and Spice in the US on Satellite. And so why can't we have Hustler Canada, Redlight District and AOV on BEV if it is on thier competitors. I know it would dig into thier profit on the Venus PPV but I am not paying for each movie when there is a channel(s) out there that air these movies and others for only $30 for 2 channels a month.
If they don't by July 2006 when my bundle is up, bye bye BEV and back to Rogers after 5 years.

This is the same thing as Boxing PPV, to see live what is free on HBO in the U.S. (in HD as well), we have to pay PPV. Remember we are in Canada, where corporate profits outways your access to what you want to watch.

Not really relevant to this thread but I didn't feel like creating a new one. I just got a model 4100 that I'll be testing.

[bclaringbold]

falcon how did you manage to get involved in the testing?

What is this receiver? HD, SD, PVR, MPEG4? - is there a compataple dish network model? Sorry for all the questions but im interested.

Nope it's as basic as it gets. It looks somewhat like the Dish Network 111. It does not have s-video output. The remote is like the IR remote used with the 3200.

All your friend had to do was go with the "moving promo" the installer would have come to install the dish at his new place, noted that the sub was in a place where he couldn't receive service now, AND THERE WOULD BE NO PENALTY FOR BREAKING THE CONTRACT.

I would love to subscribe to BEV. But i'm a big sports/naked women/news channel fan. Rogers has them beat with the sportspak, Hustler, Red Light AOV Movie Channel and AOV Clips. I think Rogers has more news channels as well. So until BEV gives real competition I stay with Rogers.

BEV doesn't carry MSNBC or Bloomberg Television. Rogers carries both channels.
