Was going to start a new thread, but thought bumping this one would suffice.
Going to get Bell HD for the first time and wanted to make sure I was going about it the right way before I ordered it. A couple quick concerns/questions:
1) Seems like everyone has an HD PVR. The wife and I almost never need to record anything. Is going with just a basic HD receiver ok, or am I missing the boat? Does the PVR have that many more options that makes it a 'must-have'?
2) Programming. I'm a little confused......I was going to get just the HD Essentials package.......looks like HD channels with 6 theme packs. Now, do I only get the HD channels that are in my theme packs, or do I get all HD channels (minus the movies and such) plus the theme packs?
Any other advice you can give to help out an HD n00b? I've had regular Bell for about 10 years, just never ventured into HD territory.
Thanks in advance.
