FYI I posted what plan they sold me in the thread about Montréal pricing.
Base : 21$
15 à la carte : 15$
4 HD themes : 10$
TMN: 13$
"Zone Sport" theme : 5$
TOTAL : 64$
Now, to get the same programming, they're letting me the only option for me is:
Base : 21$
Top du Top: 60$
4 HD themes : 10$
TMN: 13$
TOTAL: 104$ (that's 40$ more per month).
I've been running on that Top du Top since Saturday, and I have NOT tuned any stations other than the ones I originally wanted and was sold by Bell. So I don't see why I'd pay 500$ extra per year for channels I don't need.
As far is 1080/720, perhaps I misexplained. I know they support 1080i in the receiver, and they have an HDMI out on there, but the BELL tech plugged it through component, said Bell didn't support HDMI. Component only supports up to 720p IIRC.
How can you sell an HD TV service and say you don't support HDMI connexion? It's almost as if they do it on purpose to look stupid.
I ripped off the component cable no later than 2 minutes after the tech left, and connected in HDMI, but now I have other issues, 1 out of 10 times, I get no picture at all and a message that my TV doesn't support something about HDMI (some error # 10001). Power the reveiver OFF/ON and I get an image, but 1 out of 5 times, I get a pink vertical line on the left of the screen. Gotta power OFF/On again until I get it right, or activate the 5% overscan on my TV set which clears the vertical line. So it's really the Bell receiver acting up, not my TV.
I think I'm i bit OT here, sorry. This has nothing to do with the new modem discussion. As I mentioned before, they left the CellPipe there.
