Ok here goes.....if I order a satellite service from bell and I have one at my home and one at my cottage and they say you can only have 2 geographical locations. Also you cannot use the 2 different geographical at the same. I would like to say have it at my office. My question is can they really track what geographical location your in and if you have 2 on at the same time do they know? I am single and work late at my business and would like to have some background tv for hockey games and such. Thanks for any help.

The answer is no, they do not know where you are and when you are using receiving on your sat dish.
The device is a receiver, it does not send out a signal until you order movies, if you order movies ( or hockey games ) at the same time from 2 locations they will know where you are calling from.

I have a Bell system with 2 dishes and two receivers. They say you need to connect to a phone line but that is only if you want to get pay TV movies. At home the receivers are on two floors. They are fed by one dish and two cables. When i go up north (where i have a dish) i just take a receiver and hook up. Both receivers can work at the same time from two different locations.

Bell cannot determine where any receiver is at any time. The unit is a receiver not a transmitter.
Never plug a phone line into your receiver regardless of how many times Bell asks or tells you do do that. As a result you may not order Pay Per Vu services at the second location as a phone connection is required.
I have receivers at three locations all on one bill. Bell believes they are all at the same address.

Here is a naive question. How does Bell satellite work? I assume they physically install a dish on your roof and then they...........?if I order a satellite service from bell
fuck up your flashing and shingles and the rain gets in eventually.Here is a naive question. How does Bell satellite work? I assume they physically install a dish on your roof and then they...........?
Seriously, does a cable come into the house and is hooked up to some "receiver" which is then hooked up to your HD TV? I currently use Rogers Cable.fuck up your flashing and shingles and the rain gets in eventually.
Yes a cable is run from the satellite dish (usually located on the roof) to the receiver. The set-up is the same as cable except the signal originates from a satellite in space and is received by a dish located somewhere on your property.Seriously, does a cable come into the house and is hooked up to some "receiver" which is then hooked up to your HD TV?

Is it true that the signal sometimes get messed up in foul weather?The set-up is the same as cable except the signal originates from a satellite in space
yes that is very true and usually at the point in the movie that you need to see to understand the rest of the movie.Is it true that the signal sometimes get messed up in foul weather?
Yes.Is it true that the signal sometimes get messed up in foul weather?
Also, tree branches not normally blocking the dish but swaying in the wind caused pixels problems. If it rains heavily sometimes it goes out too.
I have had it for over 4 years now and I have never lost signal while watching a show. Just saying......not sometimes more like most of the time in foul weather. To be clear though that means thunderstorms, snow storms, etc. Not during normal rain or an average snow fall
i have had it for under a year and have lost signal several times.I have had it for over 4 years now and I have never lost signal while watching a show. Just saying......
There was a thread on here a while back about "Bell Entertainment" - a new system Bell was testing in downtown T.O.
Basically, if I understand it - no dish.
Just plug your receiver into the phone jack.

Now that might be worth paying for - but a satelite dish? Nope. I don't want some fucking dish bolted on to my roof by a moron with a cordless drill.

There is a difference between what Bell says you are allowed to do, and what you can actually get away with doing.I was unaware that 2 geographic locations is allowed. The user manual I have clearly states one and one only - each geographic location needs to be a separate service. Has this changed?
