$200 for a external hard drive?! If it is USB, why not go buy your own 1TB HDD?

Great, an external HD that people will fill up and then have to buy another one. Not mention that hard drives eventually fail. What they should have done is allowed people to hook the PVR up to a computer and transfer the video files off, so that they can be burned to DVDRs.

In launching the promotion for this new PVR, whilst being perfectly aware of a possible passage of C-61 (in its present form), Bell demonstrates:
1) They’re going to continue with the “Cart, then Horse” methodology;
2) They still think they exist in a different time and space than the rest of the country, and can do whatever they want, regardless the obvious conflicts their actions create.

One would think that the new owners of Bell would have immediately started a mission to turn the company’s public image around, and “End All the Madness!” left to them by the previous ownership. Instead of an immediate examination of current practices inherited from previous ownership (DPI, throttling, etc.), Bell merely plods on – announcing another product and launching some lame “re-branding” campaign. Looks a little out of touch.

Maybe I’m being too quick to say it, but all I see is…
Same shit… different a-holes.
