We first got satellite TV when it arrived in our building twelve years ago. In 2002, we started right out with a standard definition PVR which quite literally changed our viewing habits. No longer were we tied to the broadcasters schedules. That seemed so advanced at the time. Our dealings with the east-coast company continued with the advent of HDTV. In fact, if I remember correctly, they offered the most HD options back in 2006. (Have we really been watching high-definition for 8 years?)
Poor Bell cannot deliver good service. In fact, we've been having trouble in our building for more than a week now. The company kept me with them during our winter away several years ago by providing credits for the months we weren't using the system. That kept me with them until today. Enough.
The Telus installer will come next Thursday for installation of Optik TV. As Telus customers since 1996 for a land-line phone and Internet for nearly as long, I guess we can work out a deal to bundle in IPTV. Getting television over IP seems logical. All this change is making me re-evaluate channel selection. With Netflix and other streaming options, we really only need a basic channel selection for time-shift recordings, right?
I just hope the company doesn't send along that dork from the Optik TV television advertisements.
