In a recent note to its customers, Bell TV, Canada's largest Direct-to-Home satellite Television provider, has said it will be cancelling its interactive TV service on August 18th.

Update: Bell has contacted Digital Home to inform us that one interactive service has been spared the chopping block, The Weather Network and its French counterpart will continue.

Bell described its Interactive TV or iTV service as gateway for on-demand news, weather and sports, trivia games, lottery results, horoscopes, video gaming along with enhanced tv channels such as TSN Extra, and CBC News Plus.

The company gave no reason for why it was cancelling the iTV sevice though its suspected the service was cancelled because it was unprofitable and the company did not see that changing anytime in the future.
