    Golf Channel HD on Bell ExpressVu

    Anyone else just recently lose this channel?
    Clicked on 853 the other day and it's simply not there any more.
    Can still get it on standard def 416.

    One of my buddies said his was gone so he called them and it was no charge to get it back. They have supposedly rearranged some of their specialty packages. I guess it would have been nice to inform their customers.

    Called Bell yesterday. Was told that the free preview had expired for the Golf Channel HD. I need to purchase yet another "Theme Pack".....Sports 3, which includes I believe....Fight, WFN and Wild, whatever those are, at a cost of about $8.00/month.
    I'm going to review my programming and see if I can drop one of the other Theme Packs I have. Otherwise I'll probably give in and pay another $8.00 on top of an already hefty monthly ExpressVu bill.

    Re my post above, the gal at Bell gave me the wrong info. The Golf Channel is not part of the "Sports 3" theme pack (WFN,Wild,Fight,GOLTV). She thought GOLTV was the Golf Channel....in fact it's a soceer channel. I was still on a very old ExpressVu Programming pack. Revamped everything for an additional $23.00, and got a bunch of new channels, including of course the Golf Channel HD.

    I just lost mine earlier this week. Pretty ticked off about it. But I'm not paying anything more, since all the golf tournaments end up in HD in the afternoon anyway.

    Donny, phone and complain and they will give it to you for free. They also gave me 10% off for the next 12 months (about $9/month) for the inconvenience...
    If you think it's hard to meet new people, try picking up the wrong golf ball.

    I'll never ever ever go back to Rogers. Have had zero issues with Bell until this.

    Bell also has free golf channel in SD and we pay less, get more channels and have better customer service.

    The people who noticed the HD channel missing probably don't pay for any HD channels, just have the free ones. Golf channel is a paid one in the sports package.

    better customer service???? i am not giving my opinion without having been a bell customer, i had high def expressvu for three years...how is being lost in hell with 'Emily'...better service?
    Hi...i'm emily...how may i help you....."bell bill error".....ok...you said bell bill...please listen to the following 25 options and say which one matches your situation...and on and on...until you swear and she says "good bye"

    Re pricing...maybe if you pay the rates that are advertised...but if you negotiate like you would a car...you get better thru them.

    I asked for and got...a HD PVR ...full vip cable programming...hd sports package...discovery channel etc etc...total cost ? $40 taxes in....yes taxes in...the same package if going by advertising would cost me $90.

    But i admit i have in long long past had issues with all cable or cell companies or internet providers...the only diff with rogers is that when i have an issue on my bill, i can quickly get a real human and they can deal with all portions of the bill.
    Bell always wanted to transer me if the entire bill was screwed...to expressvu section...then sympatico...then home phone...what a nightmare..wait times of multiple hours.

    anyhow.....back to golf...hope it all works out for you guys...all the ottawa people i met were laid back and cool...so you deserve your high def golf
