Well Bell has recently added 5 HD channels in MPEG 4, that can't be seen on the old receivers. These aren't must have channels by any means. Mostly CTV2 channels in Halifax, Montreal, Victoria,Winnipeg, as well as a station in Hamilton but it could be that Bell adds more HD channels and improves the picture quality. Right now I'm mostly happy with the picture quality on Bell since they went to 8PSK, but it hasn't always been so.
The official story for Bell moving to MPEG 4 is that they have to add 43 new SD channels by next summer that I believe the CRTC ordered them to. I think Shaw Satellite is in the same boat.
