My buddy asked me today if i could get him a FTA recevier, but he wants it to catch bell. The thing is that he has bell already and is paying every month for it, and he has 2 receviers. 1 in his room, and the other in the basement.
Now he wants to replace the basement recevier with the FTA one, and still keep paying bell every month, (he signed for a 1 yr contract with bell and he's renting their system).
Now i am just wondering is this a good idea?? Is bell any good? I have dish, and its great, so i have no clue how bell is and how often it goes down.

All he really wants it for is to catch the PPV ch's so that he can watch his WWE PPV, and boxing PPV. And he only has one dish and he's catching signal 91.

Any info would be great, thanks

my opinion:
buying FTA is cheaper but not guaranteed
taking a chance
now PPV is not coming on bev. -takes time
u said paying for 1 yr contract for limited channels only
FTA gives more choise
but no PPV yet

How long are the PPv's usually down on bev?

I just don't want the dude to spend the money on buying a FTA so he can watch PPV's, and then there is no PPVs

Up until recently, they were not down at all, aside from a key change or two which would only take a minute or two to get going.
The recent ECM's have lasted 6 days no PPV and then back on for 2. These are unusual times though.
But aanaa says it best, there are no guarantees. The whole thing could crap out tomorrow. It's a risk/reward sort of thing.

kinda strange that direct tv is "locked up" but the other 2 aren't. You would think that if one company can do it so can the others.
