Hey I got the 30% off free pvr and free 6 months hd. Not bad and they had to do the install. I also bought the pvr from the source so I am set for a long time.

Just got my first bill after getting free HD etc., the bill is all frakked up. I did not get all of the discounts, I got charged for HD receiver rental, etc. Instead of staying about the same with free HD, my bill doubled. I called Bell, very polite CSR, told me that the retention department will get everything fixed up in 3-6 weeks. If they don't get it all fixed to my satisfaction, I am switching, Bell's incompetence amazes even me, one who works with incompetent people daily - literally...
Watch for the $100 deposit they charge for HD, they charge your credit card $105 (including tax) but only give you a credit for $100 on the bill. The CSR argued that by reducing my bill by $100, I get full benefits for $105 as I didnt have to pay for tax on the first $100. I says "NO", the way Bell has their bills, the credit is applied against after tax amounts; so we lose out on the $5. He did not argue at all after I said no, I think they know the accounting is wrong. Watch out for this.Last edited by Tumster; Mar 27th, 2009 at 11:22 AM.

He'd have to be on contract if he's getting a "rental" receiver regardless if its free or not. Originally Posted by Hugh Jass

I find that hard to believe not less you already had the receiver in question. If this is a new "rental", they'd have to send out a tech to install (as they have to do with every new "rental" - and need you to stay for a minimum amount of time). I really doubt anyone can get a new rental WITHOUT signing a contract. Originally Posted by Potsman
