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.

Bell told me six was the limit, even though I only had three active and had sold three.

They would NOT let me activate a "seventh" receiver. So I sold it on ebay for twice what I paid for it. I suppose if I played CSR roulette for a few hours, I could have activated it.

Instead I switched to Rogers and got a free HD PVR when they had the Winback offer.

If the old card starts S04..... they'll send you a new one for free.

The 6141 comes with an internal card. You can't switch cards between receivers. Sell the 4100 with its card.

Return the used one and buy a 6131 for $99.

Prism, or whatever it was called, was in place when N2 was hacked. Since N3 its cash and carry.

If the seller is selling 9200s and 6100s as OTA receivers, I think that is legitimate. That is how I sold mine.

1. I would activate it to make sure it works. Some are DOA.
2. No, no need - see below.

The 9200 cannot be sold to use with Bell again - only as an OTA PVR if the satellite feed is connected. So it is worth about $50. You can sell the 9242 for about $450 - $500 or so.

You will have to wait at least 30 days from the day you call to cancel before the buyer can activate if it is the only receiver on your account.

R00 is enough to verify status yet not enough for someone to steal it as happened to Pinza.

Cancelled account makes no difference. The original owner has to call Bell and inform them a transfer of ownership is allowed. Even that won't work if a balance is owing.
