Bell television?

Ok, so I get everyone here hates bell. I don't care about that, I have Internet and home phone with them and am looking to get digital and hd with them. Can someone who has the service please explain what I should be looking to get from them. I need a pvr, should I rent this or buy one from Bestbuy? Do I need to get a satellite hooked up to my home or do they offer something else where I don't need to do this (my dad is freaking out about drilling into the house). Also, I have 2 LCD tvs and one regular tv, if I sign up for digital and hd, what will I see on the regular tv, will I still get any channels on that tv? Thanks for any help anyone can give me.

Whatever you choose, scrutinize their promo offer with a fine-toothed comb. Don't even believe what the reps tell you. Look over the fine print on the website and print it off for future reference. Bell loves false advertising and their reps are trained to say whatever it takes to get you locked into a contract.

Windsor, ON area
I had to move back in with my parents, and they're with Bell.

In our area, our choice was Bell or Cogeco.

If you go with Bell Expressvu, you need their satellite.
Our satellite is rented, not bought but we own all our boxes.

We have one PVR and 2 SD boxs.
According to the Bell rep, each satellite comes with 4 outputs. The PVR takes up 2 outputs because it uses 2 cables.
We have the digital basic plus package.

If you have a SD box, you will get standard definition, if you have a HD box, then you'll get high definition.
