    Bell free channels?

    If you have a Bell receiver, there are free channels. Everything in free preview is in the clear. Since I cancelled bell service last summer, I've watched and recorded stuff from both Canadian premium services and basic channels too numerous to list. And they often stay in free preview for...

    Bell signal in the southern provinces - update

    Yeah, except that places like Colorado are not in the Bell coverage area. The only reason we, in places like Spokane and Minot, are still good is that Bell hasn't yet figured out how to eliminate us without degrading the signal to subscribers near the border in Canada. If they could, they would.

I agree that at least some of the the US...

    Is TVM Still In Business?

    Legal way to get Canadian locals in US?

    No way to do it other than using a broker or a Canadian address. Using a foreign broker to subscribe to foreign DBS is not illegal in the U.S.
