Bell 9500 (and 7500) Receiver Discussions

Had a Bell Tech at the house today to replace my legacy SW44/SW44A switch combo with a DPP Quad. Pretty good service, I called in a problem yesterday (Sunday) and they were at my house the next morning and on a holiday! They waived the $75 service call fee too.

He mentioned there was a 9500 receiver showing up in their system. It wasn't available to anyone and he had little information other than "built in Wi-Fi". Just wondered if anyone had heard of a new receiver - I assume a PVR?

Bell 9500 (and 7500) Receiver Discussions

Does anyone know exactly how to wire one 9500 and one 7500 to a 203961 hybrid duo hub? Nowhere can I find where the 7500 goes. ADV CLENT or CLIENT/HVN ? The 7500 would connect to the CLIENT/HVN port. Here's a link to DISH installation notes for confirmation and diagrams...

Ok, I'm really confused now. I just got off the phone with Bell support and was told the 9500s don't share AND the 7500 only attaches to one of the 9500s not both. So, what is called a "whole home" solution for three tvs works out to be 2 tvs can share programming (9500 and a 7500) and one independent 9500. I would be better off with one 9500 and 2 7500s so I can see all recordings on any of the 3 tvs BUT Bell won't let me order it that way. I have to order 2 9500s and a 7500. Am I seeing this all wrong and getting bad info from the Bell agent? Please someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I have two 9500s and two 7500s. I can see and watch all my recordings on any receiver in the house. The 9500s have two tuners each. If those tuners are in use, the 7500s can still watch a recording but can’t tune to any other live channel until a tuner becomes free.
Don’t ask me they are hooked up because I don’t know. There is something called a hybrid duo hub that some cables go in out of as well as a channel stack splitter.
