| Bell TV now available? Ok so everyone in my apartment building just received a card from bell saying TV is now available in your building. This wouldn't be so confusing if satellite dishes weren't banned at our apartment building. Is bell now offering IPTV or something? Just curious is all, that'd be cool if it were. | |

| Re: 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.

Trenton, ON | Re: Bell TV now available? 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.

| Re: Bell TV now available? 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 haven't heard about the TV VDSL service for sometime now and I don't believe new installs are using this either since they have to be fed with fibre.
It's a lot more cost effective to install one larger dish and feed the entire building instead.

| Re: Bell TV now available? 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. | |

Trenton, ON | Re: Bell TV now available? So my question still stands. Does it get fed via phone, coax or a new line? | |

| Re: Bell TV now available? 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. | |

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

If they've signed an exclusive deal with Bell, then you're correct, no more Cogeco.

If they've signed an exclusive deal with Bell, then you're correct, no more Cogeco. My building also had BellTV installed on the roof this year. They use the existing Rogers cabling in the building and just switch the connection from Rogers to Bell equipment. There is no exclusive deal in my building, you have a choice between Rogers or Bell and interestingly very few have switched to Bell. Bell held 2 separate events in the lobby 6 months apart and received very little interest from tenants both times. LookTV failed in my building several years ago due to lack of interest. | |

Waterloo, ON | If you have the dish-based service then you can't have any cable installations as Bell will be using the coax to get to your room.

I miscounted, theres 7 apartment buildings within the postal code in reality yet it only lists one which isn't my apartment building. Unless one dish can feed 7 separate buildings?
Ohwell thanks for the help everyone.
