Bell TV - better than Rogers

09.7.5: Two years ago, I moved everything from Bell to Rogers (poor Bell service and better Rogers pricing).

We just moved our TV from Rogers back to Bell, as the Rogers promo (free PVR for 24 months finished) and Bell had the same and better pricing. I now have one PVR and two std receivers vs one PVR and one std receiver. However, I must remain a customer for two years.

The only problem is getting used to remote control changes and finding channel preferences. Once you build your favourites, it is much easier.

After long chat sessions and searching of the bell.ca website, I located:
. the alphabetic list of channels that includes the associated channel number
. the numeric listing
. the channel what's on when site

You can search and check more easily than on the remote control. You can also check just your channels.
BTW, Rogers doesn't have a search function on their remote control.

I am very pleased with the HD quality (better than what I saw on Rogers) and the Personal Video Recorder (PVR) works almost as easily as Rogers.

Like Rogers, you can set up your account on the Bell website and easily make programming changes. I did find it quite easy and quick to call Bell for programming changes.

Pls share your comments on Rogers vs Bell.
