14 DAY TRIAL // Usually, in order to bring a multimedia experience to all corners of a home, it takes lots of cables, meaning networks hidden inside tubes in the walls, or behind furniture and underneath rugs and mats.
Fibe TV wanted to make life a bit easier and more convenient for its customers, which is why it launched the Fibe TV Wireless Receiver.
Up to five different Wireless Receivers can be picked up from any Fibe TV branch office.
It can stream TV channels to up to five TVs at once, no matter where, in the house, they are. Sure, it might take more than one receiver if the displays are particularly far off, or behind multiple walls and pieces of furniture, but the technology is there.
For those who want to know exactly how it works, the Wireless Receiver Transmitter connects to a customer's Home Networking modem.
Using the main Whole Home PVR, it then connects 1 or more compact Wireless Receivers (Motorola VIP2502 boxes), not the TVs themselves.
"The new Fibe TV Wireless Receiver is part of Bell's commitment to bring consumers the very best TV viewing experience," said Wade Oosterman , president of Bell mobility and residential services, and Bell's chief brand officer.
"Our scale means Bell can access the leading next-generation communications technologies, and that means Canadians will enjoy the best the world has to offer - right here at home. Fibe TV is growing fast thanks to its superior broadband network and features, and the Wireless Receiver takes Fibe even further. Canada's best TV service just got better."
The Fibe TV Wireless Receivers are available for order at $199 / €154 – 199 or for rental at $7 / €5.4 per month.
Sadly, all customers need to live in Montreal, Quebec City or Toronto, because Fibe doesn't have coverage anywhere else yet.
