Bell has changed their packages a little now. The customer has 4 choices. Good/Select/Better/Best. No more individual theme packs, no more separate HD Theme packs HD/SD all included together by tier. Of course the premium movie channels are still extra add on's. I have yet to figure out if this is better or worse for the customer.
I have the impression that the new choices are worse, in the old pacakges you had to start with the basics, but then you could add more channels a la carte to complement your package, the trick: there was a limited number of channels to select from, or you had to upgrade package.
Now, if you wanted to add say, CNN International a la carte you could select their International News 1 mini combo for $3 (Incl CNN I and CP24).
If you wanted to add only TCM, you´d have to buy the Super Channel combo for $13, again including a number of channels you may not want.
Under the new packages, all of them are pre-assembled, and now say you want to add only CNN International, it isn´t available anymore as individual channel or mini-combo, you´d have to add the Learning and News bundle for $10 that includes CNN International plus some other channels you don´t want.
Now for TCM you have to upgrade to the Better pack, and now I don´t see it as part of a mini-combo.
But either way, under the old or new packages, you´re stuck paying with channels you don´t want.
