New Vbox Coming?

[pmcd]

it is not expected for another 3-4 months. It;s going to be faster and have dual WiFi but this is not something that would be significantly noticeable if you use it for VMedia TV and not gaming or 4K TV that it's going to support

I don't suppose it would support Android TV so that apps are meant for larger screens as opposed to phones and tablets? This, apart from the 5GHz issue, is a (minor?) downside to the current service.

So anyways I need answers to a few questions before I sign up..



1. Can I get both services, TV and internet BEFORE my Bell internet is cancelled. I realize I would have 2 internet connections happening simultaneously. But I do need to wait 30 days for them to cancel if I call in today..

2. How do you get billed, can I pay at a bank or through online banking instead of having it go on a credit card? Do you get a bill?

thats what I did.. I had rogers and vMedia at the same time.. for a few days [ just happened to workout that way], not sure how that would work with Bell unless you have a dryloop line.. as for billing they bill to your credit card simple and painless - not sure they have an alternative payment plan..

Isnt that illegal now - I am not sure you have to wait the 30 days anymore.

Did you even read your link?

OTTAWA - Beginning early in the new year, Canadian consumers will no longer be required to give 30 days notice to cancel or switch their cable, Internet or telephone subscriptions.
Canada's telecom regulator is banning service providers from demanding a 30-day cancellation period for contracts.
The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission says it got an earful about the requirement during its recent public consultations on the future of television broadcasting and distribution.
The order goes into effect Jan. 23, 2015.

theoretically PPPoE login/pass could be made to let you in but we do not do it like that

you can't get our TV without our Internet however if you are switching from cable to FTTN and we provide FTTN to you you can get both before your cable is canceled

I don't have cable and I already have FTTN/DSL with Bell. I just need to cancel the internet.

yes, 2.4 & 5

I wanted to ask you , if I cancel my internet service, I need to wait 30 days. Am i able to get the TV connected earlier than 30 days or do the Tv and internet need to be connected simultaneously?

1. I don't know yet
2. never tested by us. Why would you use external USB WiFI?

so I can get 5ghz on the current box and 450 or faster network speeds.

yes, 2.4 & 5

2 questions
1. Trade ins? would it be possible when the new release happens?
2. would a USB 5ghz wifi work in the current boxes?

yes, 2.4 & 5
