the movie network on demand (rogers) is pretty cool.....gives you a list of movies you can watch whenever you want...

Im pretty sure bell has demmand. Id go with expressvu...my gf has rogers and its the worst signal ever. On the other hand my cousin has expressvu and its great, awesome picture, u can watch videos whenever you want, blah blah..all that fun stuff. It connects through your phone line which is cool. Phone lines rarely go down during power outages...slap a generator on that t.v and you're good to go! lol.

Bell does not have ON demand due to the way satellite signals are sent. the dish is only able to recieve. so all channels are broadcast at all times. for on demand to work in a satellite system they would have to have a separate channel for every customer.

i have both expressvu and on demand.

imo demand is wayyy better. also if you like channels like BET you wont get it on expressvu well atleast i dont get it unless i have to pay for extra which is then really stupid since its something thats viewed on a standard cable program

I don't like express vu, at my parents if you want to flip through the channels there is a little delay each time you change the channel, its quite annoying!
