Are StarChoice and ExpressVu competitors?

[krispy]

I've been itching to ditch StarChoice and join Bell for a while now but after investing so much in StarChoice equipment, I figured I'd call up Bell and see if they have any promotional deals like Rogers has for people who want to switch from satellite to their service. (Note: Rogers is not in my area or I'd switch to them). Any how, so the rep at ExpressVu tells me they only have deals for people wanting to switch from cable since cable is their competitor, StarChoice is not. Now after five minutes of explaining the definition of the word competiton, he still insisted ExpressVu does not compete with StarChoice.

Anyone have any idea why they wouldn't consider StarChoice a competitor?

In theory, yes...in reality NO :cheesygri

They sure are. However after a few years of people swapping one for the other they have decided not to compete as much.. Used to be every week was a different add from Star Choice of Expressvu offering to swap hardware for new customers..

Why do you want to switch? The both have pretty much the same channels and services. Packages are slightly different, but depending on what you want you will only save a few dollars switching companies (that goes both ways)..
