Yes, with any digital service (with the possible exception of Telus) you will need a box for each TV showing a unique channel.

As for Flames coverage; each provider is about the same. The exception is right now it appears that the Flames are lifing the blackouts on NHL Centre Ice on Bell; giving an additional 10 or so games this season.

I have Bell. Pros:
- The most HD. And they have the infastructure to add more as it becomes available.
- NHL-CI package

Cons:
- Customer service. Worst I've ever seen. About 3 times per year on a good year I find myself screaming in to the phone at them.
- Signal substitutions. Bell has decided it is better for me to see a crappy Regina feed of a channel instead of Boston. Tried complaining to the CRTC, no luck. *C actually follows the CRTC guidelines.
- Programming packages. But you already knew that.
