Hi,
I am hoping the experienced people here can provide some advice. We live near the border in BC (near Washingtn State) and RV in our trailer a fair bit...mainly summers, weekends, and Spring Break.
So we are looking at getting a PVR & Satellite system and escaping from Shaw, and are close to choosing Bell Expressvu.
After speaking with the somewhat knowledgeable Customer Service people at Bell, they advised us that yes we could take the system with us, but we are not allowed to view it in the States. We would need to have another complete system with a US provider. Is this a Canadian rule or US rule and what is accepted practice. The Bell agent said that we would be cut off if they found we were in the States.
So, my options as I see it are:
a) get Expressvu and do what I want and risk getting in trouble
b) just watch the PVR recorded shows
c) plug into cable at sites in the US that have cable
d) ?
I also need to figure out how to get a second dish and stand as I don't want to take the one they mount on the house....Bell wants $99 for it...

Not 100% true.
They also audit your location by calling the phone number you gave them. Check out the description (apparently written by someone who works at BEV's tech center) on Wikipedia: Bell ExpressVu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I recommend a 1000.2 DPP dish. everything is integrated and easier with cable runs.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Apparently I'm not a big enough nerd
since I did not read every Marvel Comic Book ever published. If I had, I might be comparing the comics' version of events compared to what's transpiring in "Visionquest". So, I am enjoying the series a lot, not weighed down by previous expectations, knowing only the Avengers MCU movies and the "Wandavision" / "Agatha All Along" TV series.
I found the Mr Know-it-All channel from his discussion about "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" and he's been gleefully picking these episodes apart, referencing the Marvel comics from the 1939 on. Turns out A.I. has been around since before World War II, at least in the comics. (Robots before that, yes, yes.) This show is going back into the archives.

I thought they were effectively releasing a longer episode 7 and 8 instead of shorter episodes 7 & 8 this week and 9 & 10 next week. It felt like they were packing more into this episode.
edit: But you're right, the run time of the first three pairs of episodes was 100 minutes on average. Episode 7 clocks in at 65 minutes.
After a strange reboot last night in the middle of viewing, this morning several more reboots and about a half an hour download.
