- I see that Bell has pushed a new icon to my home screen which allows me to download the "free" Bell TV app. Of course I downloaded and installed the app. It allows you to access live TV and PVR functions on your compatible digital HD box. Of course, that is the catch. While the 6131 HD receiver can be turned into a PVR by adding an external hard drive and has an Ethernet jack to connect to your network, it's the $10/month more expensive unit that qualifies. By the way, the BB software comes from Sling Media.
Neat idea but since I'm not going to spend another $10/month to try it, at least it doesn't obsolete my new Slingbox PRO HD and the Slingplayer software I already use on my Bold 9700.

- Okay so i got more info on it.
I downloaded the app from bell.mobi
It is called the "Media Player" on your phone.
Subscribed to the service for $10 for the Olympics channels.
It's working well. Video is smooth and decent looking. Better then the Youtube videos, MUCH better than Youtube videos!
Gonna have to carry my charge with me for the next 2 weeks!02-15-10 11:33 PMLike 0 - Okay so i got more info on it.

/ES02-16-10 05:26 AMLike 0 - Has anyone who is not with Bell Mobility and has a bb curve 8330 been able to succesfully download this app from Bell TV Online and use it?
I am with SaskTel and keep getting this error when I d/l the app:
"Uncaught exception: Module with handle [4286] and index [0] has no application entry point"
Anyone know what this means? The app appears on my home screen but when I log in I get just a blank page.
Thanks.03-05-10 01:18 PMLike 0 - got this working instantly on my Telus Bold 9700...sweet FREE app from Bell, had to scream free because Bell and free aren't usually seen in the same sentence very often...Thanks Bell for thinking of the customer first instead of the bottom line.03-12-10 10:55 AMLike 0
