Does anyone know what the costs of purchasing NFL Sunday Ticket and NHL Centre Ice are together? How many payments etc? I was considering asking my broker to activate these this week. Thanks.:)
 
That sounds like a heck of a deal, because I think I read that on Bell ExpressVu (think its channel 450), - just for NFL Ticket they require 2 separate payments of $89.99 or approx $180.00 for the entire NFL season!!
 
Yes Expressvu costs are in lulu land for sports.

Annual cost sports pack: Canadian cable companies: $300 to $360
Expressvu: $717
 
More HD on BEV. For that I'm willing to pay. BEV will have 4 HD channels for Centre Ice this year. I never bothered with Sunday Ticket since the Boston and Seattle feeds combine with local cable give me almost every game I'd want to see, anyway.
 
Next SC brochure will show:

NHLCI channels 469 to 479 NHLCI HD channels 480-481

Also apparently RDS HD will be launched in October
New Combo Sports package for English only subs $3.99 RDS ch 750, RDSHD 272 + RIS Info Sports 749 - for English only subs, there will no longer be a requirement to buy a French bundle before ordering RDS

Excellent!
 
I get some information that RDS will be broadcasting in HD on Bell ExpressVu and Videotron for 2 preseason game, september 17 and 18 at the Bell Centre against Pittsburgh.

That's for testing the signal.

I don't know if the test will be available on star choice.

BTW, i see a new advertise on RDS from Bell. You see the 2 beavers at the Bell Centre with a Canadiens shirt and a voice said (in french) : "La télévision HD sans ExpressVu, c'est comme les Canadiens sans leurs partisans" (HDTV without ExpressVu is like Canadiens without her fans)...After you see a message : "Les canadiens maintenant en HD" (Canadiens now available in HD).

So...with this advertise, be sure at 99.9% ExpressVu will add RDS HD...
 
How many NFL Sunday ticket games are in HD, for SC?

I see the following quote on SC's web page, but I can't tell how many...

"
HD programming is also offered with NHL Centre Ice and NFL Sunday Ticket."

thanks!
 
At this time: 0

All SC HD subs get NFL games in HD from Detroit/Seattle stations + CTV/TSN. Sports bundle subs get Sportsnet HD as well.

Shaw let it slip that 2 of the new upcoming HDPPV channels will be used for CI. They haven't mentioned whether they will be used for ST as well.
