Renting Bell's receiver is a bit misleading. It's more of an "installment payment plan with no hopes of ever owning it." You have to sign a 2 year contract, and at the end of the 2 years you've paid what the receiver costs, but do not own it. And if you cancel early, you have to pay a penalty.
IIRC Shaw offers a zero interest plan so you can buy the receiver, pay what is a similar cost as Bell's "rental", but you own it at the end of the term.
