Bell TV now available?

It's still BellTV (not IPTV), however the entire building is being fed by a single service versus everyone having a dish outside on their balconies.

So if I ordered this, I'd just do it like you would order expressvu at a house? Also how does the service come into my apartment, via coax or phone?

You cannot setup this particular service at a Bell World store.

My mother in-law has this service at her apartment building. The way they have it done at her building is one dish services the entire building. All she had to do when she moved in was call Bell telling them she wanted tv service and they sent someone over to hook her up to the dish that is on the roof of the building, but everything is done in the basement. Basically it is done like how my house was done, my dish is on the roof and the main cable coming from the dish is hooked into the cable box to service the hole house, three bedrooms and living room.

It's no wonder that truth is stranger than fiction. Fiction has to make sense.

Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.

Most roof dishes are like 30" wide too.

Amazing a dish so small can feed apartment and condo buildings.

This is not IPTV .. something similar though .. its TV over VDSL .. I have it in my condo..
basically there is a COAX that comes our of the Basement (Fiber terminates in the basement) ... the coax cable goes in a motorolla box in my living room .. out of the box comes an ethernet cable for the internet and TV .. its pretty decent .. but i cant get HD on mine.
There is no satellite in this setup .. the TV signal is sent over fiber to the building.

I think they are continuing to do that with the buildings that already have fiber.. when i go to that website , in the bottom i see this when i put my postal code..

Internal use: VDSL

you are right though .. i dont think they are adding this type of service to more buildings .. but for the buildings that already have it , they are still provisioning on it.

So my question still stands. Does it get fed via phone, coax or a new line?

Your question was answered ...

The building is fed by fibre from the CO to an HFC node in your building.

The units in the building are fed by coax to a Motorola box which acts as a modem and telephone and TV splitter.

The outputs of the box look like normal TV coax, internet RJ45 and telephone RJ11 cables.

He not on the VDSL platform if he lives in Trenton, he has a large dish on the building's roof

Ok thanks. Only one last question, not sure if anyone can answer. I have cogeco for internet, if bell takes over the coax going into my apartment I can't have cogeco anymore can I?

reply to HoboJ
If it is recently made available, I believe it is the service BryceS and Deadpool described, which is the dish-like service delivered to each unit, not VDSL. It would arrive via coax after being delivered to the building via the dish on the roof and distributed by equipment in the basement. You would then have boxes for each TV, as you would in a single family home for TVs fed by the dish on the roof.

As for your Cogeco Internet question, I'm not sure but I would think that only one provider can use the feed to your unit at a time unless there are linesharing methods on coax the way there are on copper pairs for telco networks (separate voice and DSL providers on the same pair).
