MONTREAL, Aug. 19, 2013 /CNW Telbec/ - Bell today announced the launch
of the new Bell TV app that lets customers watch popular channels they
receive in their programming package at home on tablet or smartphones
at no extra charge.
"Bell has invested billions in building next-generation Canadian
wireless and fibre networks to execute our commitment to deliver the
best TV experience across every screen," said Wade Oosterman, President
of Bell Mobility and Residential Services, and Chief Brand Officer at
Bell. "The Bell TV app gives customers the flexibility to watch TV
everywhere, at home or on the go. It's the latest proof that with Bell,
TV just got better."
Navigating the Bell TV app is easy thanks to an innovative programming
guide and interface that supports searching by program name,
description, channel, live or on-demand. Bell Fibe TV customers can
also stop and resume on-demand programming between their TV at home and
their mobile device.
The Bell TV app includes the industry-leading Bell Mobile TV service
that already enables Bell Mobility customers to watch TV anywhere over
Bell's high-speed wireless network or Wi-Fi. With Bell Mobile TV, Bell
TV customers now have access to more than 100 unique live and on-demand
channels.
10 hours of Mobile TV connectivity is provided with many popular Bell
Mobility rate plans or as a $5 a month add-on that does not affect data
usage in a customer's plan. Current Bell Mobile TV customers are
automatically upgraded to the Bell TV app (some customers may need to
do so manually depending on their individual device settings).
In addition to conventional networks CTV and CTV Two, the Bell TV app
provides subscribers access to specialty channels Bravo, A&E and
History, premium channels TMN, SuperChannel and Movie Central,
children's programming on Teletoon, Treehouse and YTV, sports on TSN,
Leafs TV and NBA TV Canada, 24-hour news on CTV News Channel, CBC News
Network and BBC World News and a wide variety of French language
including Super Écran, SRC, V and Canal D, RDS, RDI and LCN.
The Bell TV app is available for Android devices at Google Play, BB10
devices in BlackBerry App World and iOS in the Apple and iTunes App
Store. For more information, please visit Bell.ca/TVAnywhere.
