When I sold my receivers in the past I called Bell myself, and gave them the name of the buyer. Wether or not the buyer uses the receiver for illegal purposes doesn't matter, I'am not resposible for it.

 

[barter]

I don't know what the problem is either. Yes you can sell your receivers, and wether or not they stay on your account if the buyer never calls to activate it dosn't really matter, your allowed to have 6 active receivers receiving programing, so I don't know what the problem is either.

True, but it will still be listed under your account.

Maybe but what is the big deal. Don't matter.

 

[barter]

That's right, Expressvu will not activate receiver's listed under someone else's name. The owner must call to transfer ownership.

That little Jack The Ironworker story is great, but like I said, Expressvu will not activate receiver's listed under someone else's name. The owner must call to transfer ownership.

Today 10:48 AM
peano Also, if you currently have three receivers active and sold three others in the past and the buyers never activated them, you still have six receivers on your account according to Bell and cannot add any more.

Not true, I currently have more than 6 receiver's registered to me, but only 6 active receiving programming. You can have more than 6 receivers registered, but only allowed to have 6 active. Two Bell CSR 's I have talked to have confirmed this. There is no limit of the number receivers that canbe registered to your name.

Yes you can also tell them in advance that you are going to sell it, and to allow whoever calls in to activate it on their account. They will then enter this into their database. The point being the owner has to call Expressvu and let them know that it's been sold first before a buyer can activate the receiver on their account.
Expressvu will not activate receiver's listed under someone else's name.

All I told bell was I want to de-activate it and it has been sold.

My doing this you are transfering ownership to the buyer. Expressvu will just make a note in their database that the reciver is sold, thus the buyer can activate it on their account.

All the same it is in the seller's best interest to inform Expressvu who the receiver is being sold to, as this info will stay in Expressvu's database.

 

[barter]

As long as you pay for all the channels you receive it doesn't matter if you mod your receiver.

 

[barter]

What they said is correct.

 

[barter]

If the receiver never had a new card issued there is NO fee. If the receiver is missing the new Narga 2 card then there is a fee, it was $69 bucks. There MAY be a $35 dollar fee as well to use a old receiver on a NEW account not a existing account.

 

[barter]

he can still sell it on ebay for $$$, card on no card.

 

[barter]

When you call to disactivate your receiver, you can also tell bell to allow "who ever calls to activate it", to acivate it, they will make a note on their inventory. Although giving them actual name is better.

 

[barter]

If you told bell that you sold the receiver they should of disactivated it as well. More than likely they wanted it for something else.

 

[barter]

NO! Bell will not activate dish branded receivers.

 

[barter]

Yes there is a promotion for HD upgrade, just go on bell's website and click on offers for currrent subscribers.

 

[barter]

I know I would never sign up for it myself either. I just went and bought a quad lnb off ebay for $10, took the old dual out, ran 2 lines..done.

 

[barter]

If the receiver has been disactivated the buyer/newowner can't order ppv or watch any TV ever again untill it is reactivted on their account, (a expressvu agent should know that . There is a 2700 still listed on my account that I sold a year ago to a guy in alberta, I don't care if it still shows up.

 

[barter]

If expressvu reactivates it after the owner called to have it disactivated then expressvu are the ones that are stupid are they not? And because the receiver must be plugged in to a phone line to upload movies, if the receiver did get reactivated by accident by expressvu the buyer would have to plug the receiver into a phone jack (why would they if they getting free TV ) in order for the PPV to get uploaded, if it never got plugged it the old owner would never be charged, and a receiver dialing in from another phone number should raise a flag with expressvu.

So if expressvu (acidentally )reactived a receiver that a owner had disactivated and informed bell of the transfer to a new buyer, then the old buyer is not responsible for any of the charges...period.

Some people were able to get bell csr's to add a Dish receiver to bell inventory in the pre nagra 2 days. But the owner still had to remove dish's software and restream at 91 to download bell's software before calling, as a receiver with dish software would not download bell SW, with invoved using a jtag and the jkeys program. Only receiver's with a jtag port were able to be switched (2700 3100 5x00 6000). The 6100 and 9200 as far as I know are not jtag-able, so a owner would have no way of earsing the dish network firmware anyway.

I doubt anyone would be able to have a CSR add a dish receiver anymore. As this is not allowed!

 

[barter]

Unable to add Dish receiver...and not allowed!

That's what I said above. People were able to add them a few yearsa back though.

 

[barter]

Yes you can sell them and transfer ownership to a new subscriber, just call bell to have the receivers disactivated before you give them to the buyer and tell expressvu the name of the buyer, so bell can put it on file so that the buyer can activate them when they add them to their account. There are no fee's to d/c your service as long as your not under a contract. Bell has no return policy. You should have no problem selling privately or on ebay. You can also list them here on the Buy and Sell thread here at Digital Home!
