Aliant TV, a value-packed digital television service, launches in Bedford, Nova Scotia. The new, IP-based television service delivers digital picture and sound quality and features over 150 television and over 70 music channels.
"Aliant is pleased to offer our 100 per cent digital television service to our Aliant High Speed Value Package customers in the Bedford area - a great television alternative and a great value," says Heather Tulk, Vice-President, Residential Markets, Aliant. "With more channels and features than full-tier analog cable - combining phone, cell, Internet and television on one bill from Aliant is a convenient and cost-effective choice for our customers."
The digital television service is now available to Aliant High-Speed Internet customers in Clayton Park, Wedgewood, Rockingham, Fairview and Bedford. Aliant intends to extend the television service to other areas in the Halifax Regional Municipality and to additional urban centres throughout Atlantic Canada.
Since Aliant TV launched in Halifax last June, the company has received positive customer feedback about the new digital television service. Feedback indicates that many customers are satisfied with Aliant TV and are very likely to recommend the service to others.
"Aliant TV is a great value," says Cathy Todd, Aliant TV customer. "The installation was very straightforward and the digital channel selection – including the music channels – is remarkable."
Aliant TV delivers value, quality and choice to High-Speed Value Package customers starting at $29 per month for the first 12 months. The television service delivers high quality picture and sound, on up to two television sets. Over 150 fully digital television channels are available, including all four local channels; over 70 digital music channels (including 30 Atlantic Canadian radio stations); and a host of other features including an easy-to-use electronic (on-screen) program guide, free time-shifting that allows customers to watch their favourite shows from other time zones and access to pay-per-view movies and events.
Customers subscribing to Aliant TV do not have to pay for any additional equipment or installation. With the Bell ExpressVu satellite television solution, and Aliant TV, Aliant will ensure that as many customers as possible have access to leading edge entertainment solutions.
