Safety tips
Unplug the receiver from the AC power outlet before cleaning
The use of accessories or attachments not recommended by the receiver manufacturer will void the Limited Warranty
Do not place the receiver in an enclosure such as a cabinet without proper ventilation
Do not stack the receiver on top of or below other electronic devices
Operate the receiver using only the type of power source indicated on the marking label. Unplug the receiver power cord by gripping
the power plug, not the cord.
Do not overload wall outlets or extension cords, as this can result in a risk of fire or electrical shock
Never insert objects of any kind into the receiver through openings, as the objects may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts.
This could cause fire or electrical shock.
Make sure the outdoor parts of the antenna system are grounded in accordance with local, state, federal and National Electrical Code
(NEC) requirements
Do not locate the antenna near overhead light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing
the antenna, take extreme care to avoid touching such power lines or circuits, as contact with them can be fatal.
Do not attempt to service the receiver yourself, as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage, and will void
the Limited Warranty. Refer all servicing to authorized service personnel.
Use an outlet that contains surge suppression or ground fault protection. For added protection during a lightning storm, or when
the receiver is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, disconnect the lines
between the receiver and the antenna, and disconnect the phone line. This will provide some protection against damage caused
by lightning or power line surges.

Your guide to TELUS Satellite TV
This guide explains everything you need to know about your new TELUS Satellite TV service. It will help you understand how it works,
ensure you make the most of all the exciting features, and provide you with handy tips for troubleshooting.
Where to find information on your account
To check your TELUS Satellite TV account or to make changes to your programming package, please call 310-MYTV (6988).
About Satellite TV reception
Satellite TV uses satellites in orbit over the earth to deliver television and audio programming. The satellites stay aligned over one place
on the surface of the earth, so once your satellite dish is aimed, it won’t have to move to follow them.
Weather interference
Heavy rain, snow or dense cloud cover can sometimes reduce the satellite signal, which may interrupt your service. Your service will
return after the weather condition has passed. The TELUS installer will aim the satellite dish during installation to get the strongest signal
and help prevent rain and snow from causing interruptions.
Solar interference
Twice a year, as the sun orbits the earth, the sun moves to a position behind the satellite. This event occurs during a few days at
the beginning of each spring and fall. During these brief periods, you won’t be able to access your programming. This will only last
a few minutes.
Connecting to your home phone
Your satellite receiver is equipped with a standard telephone jack and must be connected to an active home phone line. Once connected,
you can order Pay Per View events and channels using your remote control, use the Interactive TV weather features, and access other
services from TELUS Satellite TV such as onscreen Call Display(see full instructions on Connect Your home phone on page 17).
Screensaver
Whenever the receiver is turned off using your remote control or front panel power button, you’ll see the TELUS logo moving around
your TV screen. This feature is included to assure you that the connections between your receiver and TV haven’t been lost.
or the power button on the front panel of your receiver to resume watching programming.
Quick tip
Turning your receiver off when you’re not watching
TV will ensure your software is kept up-to-date.

Adjusting the remote antenna
You want to set the remote antenna straight up so you can use your remote from as far away as possible. You’ll find the antenna at the
back of the receiver; make sure it doesn’t touch anything.
If your UHF Pro remote control isn’t working very well from far away, you may be experiencing interference from objects near your
receiver. To improve your remote control’s range, try the following:
1 Place the receiver higher than all of the other equipment in your entertainment centre.
2 Leave room above the receiver so that the antenna can be installed straight up. If this isn’t possible, tilt the UHF antenna at about a 30° angle.
3 Place the UHF antenna outside the entertainment centre using a coaxial cable to connect the antenna to the receiver.
4 Move the receiver to other locations.
5 Install a UHF attenuator. See Installing a UHF attenuator, on page 25 for details.
Changing the UHF frequency of your remote control using the A/B switch
1 Remove the battery cover from your remote control.

Installing a UHF attenuator
Unwanted UHF signals may interfere with signals from the remote control to the receiver. To prevent such interference, you can install a
10 dB attenuator (available at many consumer electronics parts stores). Adding this attenuator will help keep out stray UHF signals, but it
will also cut down how far away you can use your remote control.
1 Remove the UHF antenna from the UHF remote antenna input on the receiver’s back panel.
2 Attach a 10 dB attenuator to the UHF remote antenna input.
3 Attach the UHF antenna to the attenuator.

Recording options
When you set up a timer to record a live program you can choose from the following options:
)
Stop Recording Manually – The receiver will record until you press
Extend End Time – You can extend the stop time for the recording. This option is useful for programs that might run overtime such as
sporting events or awards shows.
Create a Recurring Timer – You can set up multiple daily, weekly or monthly timers so your favourite shows are always automatically recorded
Record the Entire Event – The receiver stops recording at the end of the event. This selection is available only if the receiver was tuned
to the channel at the beginning of the program. If you tune to a program after it starts, this option cannot be selected. You can record only
the part of the program that airs after you’ve tuned to it.
Timers and recordings
A timer is used to schedule which upcoming programs you want to record. For most PVR timers you select a specific program on a
specific channel and how often you want to record that program.
A recording is the actual program stored for you to watch. PVR recordings are listed in the My Recordings screen, which you can find
quickly by pressing
.
There are 3 types of timers:
PVR – Records a program onto your receiver for later viewing
Auto Tune – Automatically changes the channel to the program when it begins
Reminder – Displays an onscreen alert when the program is about to begin
39
Page 40
Timers and Personal Video Recorder (PVR

Timer frequency
Deciding how often you want to watch a program will help you set your timer appropriately:
All Episodes – Records each time that program is on a specific channel or group of channels
New Episodes – Records programs in their current season each time they occur on a specific channel or group of channels
Once – Records a program once. This feature works best for movies and sporting events.
Weekl y – Records a program once a week, at that time, on a specific channel
Daily – Records a program once a day, at that time, on a specific channel
Mon-Fri – Records a program once a day, Monday through Friday, at that time, on a specific channel
You can also select a Vu! Pass, which sets a timer on all channels or on a specific channel based on your specific criteria.
When you set a timer for a program and the program time changes, the recording time will change with it. Weekly, Daily, and Mon-Fri
timers move only if the program is within 1 hour earlier or 4 hours later than the original time the timer was set up. These timers will adjust
their length if their program’s scheduled time is extended.
Timer priorities
If multiple timers are scheduled to start at the same time, the receiver uses pre-set priorities to know which programs you’d prefer to
watch or record.
The receiver can only record the 2 programs with the highest priorities. You can override a specific timer’s priority with a one-time skip
or by restoring it. Select a timer in the daily schedule and you’ll have the option to skip or restore that timer (see page 41).
Timer options
The timer options screen lets you set the following:
Protect Event – Protects your programs from being erased when the receiver fills up
Set Channel – Select a specific channel
Start Early – Begins recording a few minutes early
End Late – Continues recording after the scheduled program ends
Recording using timers
For 2 minutes before the timer starts a recording, the receiver may display an onscreen countdown. This countdown disappears when
the program begins. While the countdown is displayed, you can do one of the following:
Press
to clear it from the screen. This doesn’t stop the timer from starting.

select OK to continue with the timer or Stop Timer to stop the timer.
If your receiver is off when a timer is scheduled, it will:

Special considerations when using timers
For locked programs – You must enter your receiver password before you can create an automatic timer. You can create
a manual timer for a locked program without entering your password. However, if you do this, the timer may display only an error
or request your password.
For Pay Per View programs – You must order a PPV program before you can create a timer for it
For blacked-out programs – Timers scheduled for blacked-out programs will not work
Using the daily schedule
The daily schedule lists shows the timers that are planned for today, the future and those that occurred in the recent past. You can
choose to skip a scheduled timer or restore a timer that wasn’t planned to occur, perhaps because of a conflict with another program.
You can also choose to review past timers to see which occurred, and the reason why one didn’t, if applicable.
You can use timers for up to 100 events, and you can also choose to view the start early/end late settings. Navigate to a future program
if you want to skip or restore a timer.

Dolby Digital gives you the ability to experience programs in awesome surround sound. An external decoder is required to enjoy this
feature; please refer to your decoder user’s guide for further information.
Not all programs contain Dolby Digital sound. To take full advantage of 5.1 Dolby Digital surround sound you need an HDMI or optical cable
and a stereo that supports this feature.
The receiver uses an HDMI or optical port for outputting digital audio. The optical output can provide 2 audio data types: Dolby Digital
and Linear PCM. Only Dolby Digital can provide full 5.1-channel sound. When both audio signals are present in the program, the receiver
defaults to Dolby Digital output unless you have selected PCM Only.

Dolby Digital/PCM – Select this option if your stereo can decode both Dolby Digital and Linear PCM signals.
Dolby Digital Only – Select this option if your stereo can decode only Dolby Digital and will not process Linear PCM
signals. See your stereo’s user guide for more details.
PCM Only – Select this option if your stereo cannot decode Dolby Digital signals.

The audio output is also dependent on what’s present in the program you’re watching.
If you’ve selected Dolby Digital Only but there’s only
PCM audio in the program, you won’t hear anything.
This also applies to the analog audio outputs.
Line Mode – When you use this setting in comparison
to RF Mode, the dynamic range is wider, which makes
the music and loud noises louder but voices quieter.

Your universal remote control can be programmed to work with most TVs, DVD players, VCRs and A/V receivers. If you change or
replace your TV or your compatible device, you will need to reprogram your remote control. Please use the codes listed below and on
the following pages.
Please visit our website at telus.com/tv
and look under the FAQ section for a
complete list of frequently asked questions.
How does TELUS Satellite TV work?
TV signals are sent to your home from our satellites in space. The satellite
dish receives these signals and sends them to your receiver, which then
displays the programming on your TV.
Are all TELUS Satellite TV channels digital?
Yes, all TV channels on TELUS Satellite TV are delivered in a digital format.
What is High Definition (HD) and how can I get it?
High Definition (HD) TV delivers the best picture and the best viewing
experience. You will see more detail and enjoy a sharper, clearer and
more vibrant picture than you would with standard definition TV. Watch
your favourite shows in true widescreen and see 45% more of the picture
compared to standard definition. Plus, enjoy rich, resonant sound through
5.1 Dolby® Digital surround sound. To experience HD you will need an HD
TV, HD receiver and a subscription to HD channels. Your TELUS receiver is
HD ready and HD channels are included in all TELUS Satellite TV packages
so if you have an HD TV you are ready to enjoy the HD TV experience.
Will I be able to watch digital TV on my existing TV?
TELUS Satellite TV receivers have RCA, S-Video, component and HDMI
outputs. If your TV has one or more of these inputs, you will be able to
enjoy digital TV on your existing TV. However, if your TV only has a coaxial
input, you will need an RF remodulator to convert the signal from your
TELUS Satellite TV receiver to a coaxial output for your TV.
Do I need to purchase any new equipment to receive digital TV
from TELUS?
A receiver is needed for each TV you wish to receive TELUS Satellite TV
service on. You have the option to either rent or purchase your receiver;
both include all of the necessary cables to receive TELUS Satellite TV.
Can I purchase or rent additional receivers?
You can rent or purchase a maximum of 6 receivers per account.
Will plugging in my receiver(s) interrupt my home phone or
Internet service?
No. However, you can’t order a movie if your home phone is in use.
What if I can’t use my phone jack because there‘s already a phone
plugged into it?
A phone splitter will allow you to plug 2 cables into the same phone jack.
Phone splitters are available at most electronics and hardware stores.
Why are my HD channels not working?
Although you may currently have an HDTV that’s designed to receive HD
programming, you will need to subscribe to HD channels in order to receive
them. To subscribe to HD channels, please call 310-MYT V (6988).
How can I monitor what my children are watching when I am away
from the TV room?
Locks allow you to select and block programs from being viewed. This
feature is an effective tool in protecting children from viewing content
that you feel is inappropriate. Once you have set a password, you have
complete control over what is blocked. If you block content by rating, then
all programs that have that rating and higher will be blocked.
What should I do if I have problems with my TELUS Satellite TV
service?
Please see the troubleshooting section on pages 68 to 70 in this
guide as there may be an easy fix. If this does not solve the problem,
try resetting your receiver; if the problem persists, please contact us
at 310-MYT V (6988).
Will I need a PIN to order Pay Per View events?
You will only be asked for a PIN when ordering adult PPV events. If you
have forgotten your PIN, please call 310-MYTV (6988). You’ll also need the
PPV event ID, which can be found by pressing Info on your remote when
the desired event is highlighted onscreen.
What should I do with my TV receiver when Daylight Savings Time
takes effect?
Please turn off your receiver by pressing the Power button (be sure the
green light on the front panel of the receiver is off) and leave it turned off for
at least 30 minutes. This will allow your receiver to update.
How many favourites lists can I create?
You can create up to 4 additional favourites lists that include your most
watched channels.
How can I order another remote control?
You can order another TELUS TV remote control by calling 310-MYTV (6988).
A new remote control will be shipped to you within a few days. Charges
may apply.
How much storage capacity does my external hard drive have?
It depends on the size of external hard drive you have:
External hard driveHours of SD recordingHours of HD recording
250 GB24833
320 GB31943
500 GB50065
750 GB75010 0
1.0 TB1000133
Note – these times are approximate.
How many external hard drives can I attach to my receiver?
You can attach just one at a time.
Can I transfer my external hard drive between receivers?
Yes, you can but please remember that all the receivers must be under
the same account name. Plus, you can only transfer an external hard drive
from a 6131 receiver (this is the one you have) to other 6131 receivers.
How do I disconnect my external hard drive?
In the My PVR menu select Remove PVR. Unplug the external hard drive when
the onscreen pop-up window indicates it is safe to do so. The receiver will
then restart.
Should I turn off my external hard drive when I turn off my receiver?
No, it’s not advisable, as it’ll mean the PVR function is switched off.
Where should I put my external hard drive when I’m using it?
It can get very hot while it’s on so, keep it in an open area, ensuring none
of the cooling vents are blocked.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What do I do if I’m having technical problems with my external
hard drive?
Please contact the manufacturer of the external hard drive for advice.
How is On Demand different than Pay per View?
You can start watching an On Demand event whenever you want.
You can rewind, fast forward and pause the movie and watch it later -
as long as it’s within rental period (24 or 48 hours) of when you ordered it.
What level of TELUS TV service do I need to view On Demand?
All TELUS TV customers with a HD PVR receiver that is connected to the
phone line or internet can browse and rent On Demand movies.
How can I tell if I have a receiver that is compatible with On
Demand?
The model number is displayed on the front panel of your receiver.
Your receiver is compatible if you see the number 9241 in the lower left
hand corner.
How do I connect my HD PVR receiver to the Internet?
You have two options for connecting your receiver to the Internet.
You can use either an Ethernet cable or a homeplug adapter.
Ethernet cable:
1 Connect one end of the Ethernet cable directly to the Ethernet port
on the back of the receiver.
2 Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to one of the following:
a. An Ethernet wall port near the receiver
b. An available port in your router or Home Networking modem
Homeplug adaptor:
1 Connect one end of the Ethernet cable into the Ethernet por t on the
homeplug adapter, and the other end to an available Ethernet port
on your outer or Home Networking modem.
2 Plug the homeplug adapter into an electrical wall outlet.
3 Plug your Model 9241 HD PVR receiver into an electrical wall outlet.
NOTE: Do not plug your receiver into a surge protector (IE. power bar),
or you will not establish an internet connection. Surge protection is built
into your receiver, so you do not need an external surge protector.
I have two HD PVR receivers. If I order an event on one receiver,
can I order it on the other receiver without getting charged?
Yes. As long as it’s within the same rental period (24 or 48 hour period).
You will only be charged once per movie ordered within the same rental
window.
If I rent the English version of an event, can I watch the French
version free of charge?
Yes. Simply select the French version from your Electronic Programming
Guide (EPG) and watch, so long as you remain within a 24 to 48 hour
rental window. The same applies when you order a French version of
an event; you can watch the English version free of charge. You will be
billed once.

Technical FAQs
I’ve ordered On Demand, how long do I have to view it?
On Demand events are available to view over a 24 or 48 hour rental
period depending on the movie title. The rental period will be displayed
before ordering the movie.
1 Go to Channel 1000 (English) or Channel 1800 (French) on the
Electronic Programming Guide (EPG).
2 Highlight the event you want (or have) rented. Using your remote
control, press the Info button. Within the event description, you will
find the rental window – how long the event is actually available for.
You can view an On Demand event as many times as you want during
the 24 to 48 hour rental window.
What are the minimum hardware requirements I need to view an
On Demand event?
You need to be a TELUS TV subscriber with a Model 9241 HD PVR. In
order to view an event at 1080p resolution you need a:
a. 1080p capable television
b. HDMI cable (minimum v1.2) connected between your television and
Model 9241 HD PVR receiver
Do I need an HDTV to view On Demand?
No. Your receiver will automatically adjust the resolution to your television
standards. In order to view an event at 1080p resolution you need a:
a. 1080p television
b. HDMI cable (minimum v1.2) connected between your television and
Model 9241 HD PVR receiver.
What happens if I order a 1080p event and I have a 720p or
Standard Definition (SD) television or no HDMI connection between
my television and receiver?
You will still be able to view your On Demand event. Your receiver will
automatically adjust the resolution to your television standards. You will
be charged according to the charges indicated at time of purchase.
Can I schedule a PVR recording of an On Demand event?
No. On Demand has been designed to offer events when you want
them, so you don’t need to store them to watch later.
How do I ensure I am receiving On Demand content?
Your receiver must be in Standby Mode to receive new On Demand
content. Your receiver is in Standby Mode if it is turned off. Your receiver
automatically goes into Standby Mode if inactive for 4 consecutive hours.
To ensure you are receiving the latest On Demand events, please turn off
your receiver when not in use.
Why can’t I see Channel 1000 and 1800 on the Electronic
Programming Guide (EPG)?

by any other written notice that will likely come to your attention. If you fail to cancel
your subscription to the TELUS Service within 30 days of notice of any change and/

The provisions of this Agreement will continue to apply to any issue related to this
relationship after termination or cancellation of this Agreement.
4. Your Use of the DTH Equipment
a) The IRD Receiver/Decoder Unit
Your right to receive and view the Programming is granted only for IRDs situated
in Canada that have been authorized to receive such Programming. Your IRD will
not operate without an Authorization Device. TELUS reserves the right to verify
remotely or by contacting you directly that the service address is located in Canada
and that all active IRDs on your Account are located at the one address listed on
your Account as your “service address”. If you violate this or any other provision
or policy, TELUS may disconnect your access to the Programming immediately
without notice. You are responsible for all Programming that is ordered for your
IRD. If you have concerns about other persons ordering Programming for your
IRD without your authorization, request a personal identification number (PIN) for
your Account, which will be used by our Customer Service Centre to help prevent
unauthorized Programming orders. You may also contact our Customer Service
Centre to determine if any particular IRD model is compatible with all Programming
in which you are interested. TELUS may, in our sole discretion, for technological,
network or other reasons require a migration, recall, substitution or replacement
of all or any part of the DTH Equipment upon notice to you and on the terms
and conditions specified in our notice. Any replacement DTH Equipment will be
deemed to be the DTH Equipment referenced in this Agreement.
b) Programming requires telephone connection
Each IRD must be directly and continuously connected to the same operating
telephone service associated with your Account, unless TELUS otherwise expressly
approves prior to activation. Connection to an operating telephone service is a
condition of our granting you the right to receive and view the Programming and we
may, in our sole discretion, disconnect some or all Programming if we determine
that the IRD is not connected in this manner. We may verify the location of your IRDs
remotely or by contacting you directly. If TELUS is unable to contact you to perform
this verification, it may limit signal reception to a single receiver to a household
containing multiple receivers.
c) Minimum level of Programming required
As a condition of our granting you the right to receive and view the
Programming, you must subscribe to and maintain a minimum level of
Programming specified by TELUS when you subscribe to the Service.
In addition, unless we agree otherwise, the minimum period of time
that you must continue to subscribe to at least the minimum level
of Programming (and pay for it) is 30 days. Please visit telus.com/tv for information
regarding the current minimum level of Programming required.
d) Authorization Devices
Authorization Devices, including Smart Cards, are non-transferable. Your
Authorization Device will work only in the IRD with which it was packaged or
activated. Notwithstanding that the Authorization Device was packaged with your
IRD (whether purchased or rented), all Authorization Devices are and remain the
property of Bell TV and any tampering or other unauthorized modification to an
Authorization Device may result in, and subject you to, legal action, or any other
action as set out in this Agreement. If you attempt to use that Authorization Device
with any other IRD without our authorization, we may terminate your right to receive
and view the Programming. We may require that you return the Smart Card to us if
it is defective or damaged, prior to providing a replacement Smart Card to you. In
addition, we may require that you return the Smart Card to us if you terminate your
79
Page 80
Account, and failure to do so will result in a recovery charge being assessed against
you. We may, in our sole discretion, implement a mandatory recall, substitution or
replacement of existing Authorization Devices, by notice to you that we will substitute
or replace, at our expense, the existing Authorization Device in your possession and
deliver to you a replacement Smart Card. You shall, within 7 days of our notice to
you of the recall, return the recalled Smart Card and activate the replacement Smart
Card. We will charge $100 to your TELUS Account for each recalled Smart Card in
your possession, which amount will be credited to your Account once you activate
the replacement Smart Card.
e) Liability for unauthorized use
If the Smart Card in the IRD you own or rent is destroyed, lost, stolen or
otherwise removed from your premises without your authorization, you must
notify our Customer Service Centre immediately to avoid liability for payment
for any unauthorized use or reception of Programming. You will not be liable for
unauthorized use after we have received your timely notification.
f) Additional IRDs in the same household
It is a condition that any additional IRD/Smart Card combination(s) rented or
purchased and activated to receive the same Programming as your initial IRD/Smart
Card must be located at the service address listed on your Account and must be
continuously connected to the same operating telephone line. We may, in our sole
discretion, disconnect the Programming if you activate additional IRDs in breach of
this requirement. The activation of any new additional IRDs/Smart Cards is subject
to the additional IRD fee described in Section 5(d), if applicable. You may activate up
to a maximum of 5 additional IRDs on your Account at any time. If you require more
than 5 additional IRDs, you must open a new separate TELUS Account to activate
such additional IRDs and you will be billed separately for the services received
through those additional IRDs.
g) Vacation Properties or Secondary Locations
Section 4(a) applies to you even if you order the Programming for a secondary
location, vacation property or mobile unit, such as a camper, boat or recreational
vehicle. You may not, under any circumstances, including vacation properties,
maintain multiple IRDs on one TELUS Account that are active at different locations
simultaneously. If an IRD is installed in a mobile unit such as a camper, boat or other
recreational vehicle, you are only permitted to have one IRD active on that Account.
5. Rates, Fees and Charges
a) Introduction
Programming rates, fees and charges are charged in accordance with this
Agreement. Other rates, fees and charges, or changes to the amount of existing
rates, fees and charges, may apply from time to time upon advance notice to you
(see also Section 3). Our rates, fees and charges for Programming are available
upon request from the Customer Service Centre. If you have any concerns contact
our Customer Service Centre.
b) Billing policies, Statements and payments
You shall pay in full all amounts billed for Programming and all taxes, fees and
other charges, if any, which are now or may in the future, be assessed on the
Statement for Programming and any other services you receive from us.
We will bill you each month in advance for your Programming and rental charges.
(Usage-based Programming will be billed in arrears.) All bills are due upon receipt.
Bills made available through the Internet are received when they are posted. Charges
not paid before the end of the grace period shown on your bill are assessed a late
payment charge at the prime rate of the Bank of Montreal plus 7%, converted to a
monthly compound rate and rounded up to the nearest quarter percentage point,
calculated from the due date, which you must pay in addition to all other amounts
owing to TELUS. Administrative and collection charges may apply, in accordance
with TELUS rules and policies, if your Account goes into arrears, including as a result
of returned or rejected payments or your failure to inform TELUS of any change to
your Account information for pre-authorized payments. If you subscribe to a preauthorized payment method, you waive pre-notification of the amounts and dates
of debits from your Account. TELUS may require you to make interim payments for
non-recurring charges you have incurred in the period between two monthly bills,
for such Services as are identified to you with the demand for payment. The grace
period for the payment of charges so identified expires 3 days after you receive
the demand for payment. You are responsible for maintaining a minimum spend of
$37.56 per month on Programming and LPIF contribution, excluding any Pay Per
View services, interactive services, bundle discount and all account administration
fees.
c) Termination of Programming by TELUS
If you do not pay in full all amounts owing as shown on your Statement within 30
days after the date when payment is required, or if you fail to comply with any of
your obligations under this Agreement at any time, in addition to our other rights and
remedies, we have the right to disconnect your Programming, in our sole discretion,
without notice or demand to you. We also reserve the right, without notice or
demand, to take whatever steps are necessary to disable or modify the software in
your IRD and/or Authorization Device if you breach any of your obligations under this
Agreement, including receiving Programming that you have not paid for, in whole
or in part.
d) Additional IRD Fee
If you initially or subsequently activate more than one IRD on your Account, you
may be charged an account administration fee by TELUS for the activation and
continued use of multiple IRDs/Smart Cards on your Account. TELUS may reduce
or eliminate this fee if you subscribe to specific combo programming packages or if
you are renting IRDs from TELUS.
e) Reconnection Fee
TELUS charges an account administration fee to reactivate an IRD that was
permanently deactivated upon your request, or where you transfer or assign
ownership of the IRD or otherwise transfer or assign responsibility for payment of an
existing TELUS Account, in all cases with prior written consent from TELUS.
f) Digital Service Fee
You shall pay to TELUS a monthly recurring digital service fee. This monthly recurring
fee, which relates to costs incurred in operating the network and maintaining
and/or upgrading technological platforms, may be reduced or eliminated
by TELUS, in its discretion, if you subscribe to specific combo programming
packages or based on the technological platform used to deliver Programming
to you.
6. Your Termination or Suspension of Programming
a) If you want to terminate all or a portion of your Programming
(i) Downgrading your Programming: You may terminate or downgrade the
reception of any part of your Programming by notifying our Customer Service
Centre, only if these two conditions are met: (x) any continuing Programming is
subject to the minimum Programming requirements set out in Section 4(c); and (y)
your Account is in good standing with all payments up to date. The Programming
you request to be terminated will be deactivated effective as of the next billing cycle
date after receiving your notice. Since you would have paid for the Programming
you are terminating or downgrading in advance up to the next billing cycle date,
no credit or refund will be payable in respect of such terminated or downgraded
Programming. In addition, no deactivation fee will be payable in such case.
However, if you are a subscriber and you attempt to downgrade your Programming
below the minimum Programming commitment you have agreed to, certain fees or
charges may be applicable.
(ii) Terminating or cancelling your Programming: You may terminate the
reception of all of your Programming by notifying our Customer Service Centre. All
the Programming you receive will be deactivated on the 30th day after receiving
80
Page 81
your notice to cancel. However, if you are not a month to month subscriber, and
you attempt to deactivate all of your Programming, certain fees or charges may be
applicable. If you are entitled to a credit for any amount in excess of $10, TELUS
will send you a cheque for that refund amount upon your request, but we will
not provide any refund or credit for an amount of less than $10. If you have any
questions regarding the return process, please call 310-MYTV (6988).
(iii) Outstanding Balance: If you cancel your right to receive and view any
Programming, you are still responsible for payment of all outstanding balances
accrued up to the date of termination.
b) If you want to temporarily suspend your Programming
You may temporarily suspend your right to receive and view the Programming
at any time by contacting TELUS at 310-MYTV (6988), provided that your
Programming is suspended for a minimum period of 6 consecutive weeks,
and not greater than 7 consecutive months. TELUS charges an account
administration fee. Upon reactivation, the minimum 1 month service requirement
set out in Section 4(c) will apply. If you fail to call and reactivate your Account
at the end of the permitted 7 month period, your Account will automatically be
reactivated, billing will be resumed and you will receive the Programming you
were receiving prior to its suspension. If you have temporarily suspended your
Programming and decide during that time to terminate or downgrade your
Programming pursuant to Sections 6(a) (i) or (ii) as applicable, your Account will
automatically be reactivated prior to any such requested change taking effect
so that the terms and conditions of Sections 6(a) (i) or (ii), as applicable, shall
apply to your request to terminate or downgrade your Programming. You may be
required to continue the payment of all rental and other fees applicable to you
under this Agreement or other agreement with TELUS relating to your receipt of
the Programming.
c) Your transfer of Account or DTH Equipment
If you are renting DTH Equipment from TELUS, you may not, without TELUS’ prior
written consent, transfer or assign your rights to the DTH Equipment to another
person. Also, if you own or rent your DTH Equipment, you may not assign or transfer
your rights to the Programming without our prior written consent. If you do, we
may deactivate your Programming. You shall notify us immediately, but in any event
not more than 5 days, after you move, sell, give away or otherwise transfer any
part or all of your DTH Equipment to anyone else. You are considered to be the
registered owner or lessee of your DTH Equipment listed on your Account, as the
case may be, and beneficiary of the rights in the Programming until we receive such
notice, and consent to the transfer of the DTH Equipment or Programming that you
requested and you may be liable for any charges or fees incurred by the use of your
DTH Equipment by anyone else up to the time that it is transferred. To transfer your
DTH Equipment to another person or TELUS Account, an administration transfer fee
will be applied to the TELUS Account of the new owner.
d) Security Deposit
TELUS may require a security deposit from you (i) before the Services are provided,
if you do not have a satisfactory credit history with TELUS or do not provide other
proof of creditworthiness satisfactory to TELUS, or (ii) at any time this Agreement
applies, if you have an unsatisfactory credit rating with TELUS as a result of your
payment practices, or (iii) if you clearly present an abnormal risk of loss. Interest on
any security deposit required by TELUS, at a rate equal to the rate established on
January 1 and July 1 of each year for daily interest savings accounts at a chartered
Canadian bank, shall be credited to your Account monthly. TELUS may apply any
portion of the security deposit against unpaid charges on your Account at any
time and, upon termination of this Agreement or where the conditions justifying the
security deposit no longer apply, will refund any outstanding security deposit, with
accrued interest, retaining only the amount then owing on your Account.
e) Term and Rates
At the end of the minimum term, if any, your TELUS Service will continue until
(i) you terminate this Agreement upon a thirty (30) day notice to TELUS, or (b)
TELUS terminates this Agreement as permitted herein (“Term”). Please note that
all Programming, programming rates, packaging, fees and charges for other
miscellaneous features or services, system access, late payment charges,
termination or cancellation charges may change over the Term. Taxes are, in all
cases, extra.
7. Limitation of Liability and Furnishing of Programming

FOR THE DTH EQUIPMENT, THE SERVICES OR ANY INTERRUPTIONS IN
PROGRAMMING OR LIABLE FOR ANY DELAY OR FAILURE TO PERFORM, IF
SUCH DELAY OR NON-PERFORMANCE ARISES IN CONNECTION WITH ANY
ACTS OF GOD, FIRES, EARTHQUAKES, FLOODS, POWER FAILURE, SATELLITE
FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION, FAILURE TO REPLACE EXISTING TECHNOLOGY,
ACTS OF ANY GOVERNMENTAL BODY OR ANY OTHER CAUSE BEYOND OUR
REASONABLE CONTROL. WE MAKE NO WARRANTY, EITHER EXPRESSED
OR IMPLIED, REGARDING THE DTH EQUIPMENT, THE SERVICES OR THE
PROGRAMMING PROVIDED TO YOU AND ALL SUCH WARRANTIES ARE
EXPRESSLY EXCLUDED. IN NO EVENT SHALL WE HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR
SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES, OR FOR ECONOMIC LOSSES (REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY
OF LIABILITY ASSERTED, INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) RELATING TO THE
DTH EQUIPMENT OR RESULTING FROM OUR FURNISHING OR FAILURE TO
FURNISH ANY PROGRAMMING TO YOU OR FROM ANY FAULT, FAILURE,
DEFICIENCY OR DEFECT IN THE SERVICE OR PROGRAMMING FURNISHED TO
YOU. IN NO EVENT SHALL TELUS, ITS AFFILIATES, THE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS
AND REPRESENTATIVES OF THE FOREGOING OR ITS SUPPLIERS AND BELL
TV’S LIABILITY TO SUBSCRIBER (REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY
ASSERTED, INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) EXCEED THE TOTAL VALUE PAID TO
TELUS BY SUBSCRIBER FOR PROGRAMMING IN THE MONTH PRECEDING
YOUR CLAIM. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO IMPOSE ANY RESTRICTIONS
ON VIEWING BY YOU, OTHER MEMBERS OF YOUR HOUSEHOLD, OR YOUR
OR THEIR INVITEES, AND WE SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY TO ANYONE DUE TO,
OR BASED ON, THE CONTENT OF ANY OF THE PROGRAMMING FURNISHED
TO YOU.
b) Acknowledgement re: DTH Equipment
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT: (i) TELUS AND BELL TV, ARE NOT
THE MANUFACTURER, DISTRIBUTOR, INSTALLER OR RETAILER OF YOUR
DTH EQUIPMENT, AND THEREFORE HAVE NO LIABILITY WHATSOEVER
FOR SUCH EQUIPMENT, INCLUDING IF THE SOFTWARE IN YOUR IRD OR
AUTHORIZATION DEVICE BECOMES DISABLED OR MODIFIED DUE TO THE
CIRCUMSTANCES OUTLINED IN SECTION 5(c) OR UPDATED OR UPGRADED
AS OUTLINED IN SECTION 4. ANY RIGHTS AND REMEDIES WITH RESPECT
TO THE DTH EQUIPMENT CAN BE FOUND IN THE LIMITED WARRANTY
ACCOMPANYING THE DTH EQUIPMENT AND MUST BE HANDLED DIRECTLY
IN ACCORDANCE THEREWITH; (ii) YOUR IRD AND AUTHORIZATION DEVICE
CONTAINS SOFTWARE THAT IS UNDER LICENCE TO, OR OWNED BY, BELL
TV. YOUR LICENCE TO USE THIS SOFTWARE IS LIMITED TO RECEIVING AND
VIEWING PROGRAMMING ON THE TELUS SERVICE IS AUTHORIZED ONLY
AND FOR NO OTHER PURPOSE. IF TELUS OR BELL TV HAS REASONABLE
GROUNDS TO BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE RECEIVING UNAUTHORIZED
PROGRAMMING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OR USING THE SOFTWARE FOR
ANY OTHER UNAUTHORIZED PURPOSE, TELUS AND/OR BELL TV RESERVES
THE RIGHT TO MODIFY OR DISABLE THE SOFTWARE IN YOUR IRD AND
SMART CARD. WARNING: IF THE SOFTWARE IN YOUR IRD AND/OR SMART
CARD IS DISABLED OR MODIFIED, YOUR RECEIVER MAY NOT FUNCTION
81
Page 82
PROPERLY. YOU MAY NOT MODIFY, TEST, REVERSE ENGINEER, DECOMPILE,
TAMPER OR ACCESS THIS SOFTWARE FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER;
(iii) TELUS AND/OR BELL TV RESERVES THE RIGHT, FROM TIME TO TIME
TO UPDATE, REPLACE OR UPGRADE THE SOFTWARE IN YOUR IRD AND
AUTHORIZATION DEVICE (BY SWAP, REPLACEMENT, RECALL OR OTHERWISE)
TO ENSURE THAT IT AND YOUR DTH EQUIPMENT THAT YOU EITHER OWN OR
ARE RENTING FROM TELUS WILL REMAIN COMPATIBLE WITH AND FUNCTION
PROPERLY WITH ANY TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES OR IMPROVEMENTS
MADE TO THE SERVICES. IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES, IT MAY BE
NECESSARY TO MODIFY OR REMOVE SOME SOFTWARE FEATURES TO
INTRODUCE NEW FEATURES AND TO ENSURE YOUR IRD AND AUTHORIZATION
DEVICE REMAINS COMPATIBLE WITH SUCH TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES OR
IMPROVEMENTS.
c) Programming availability
All Programming is provided on a “subject to availability” basis. Certain Programming,
including sports events, may be “blacked out” in your area of reception from time
to time at the request of the programmer for copyright or other reasons. If you
circumvent or attempt to circumvent any of these blackouts, you may be subject
to legal action. Programming may also be subject to temporary interruption due to
natural phenomena such as thunderstorms. TELUS will not refund charges for the
blackout period or temporary interruptions. In addition, TELUS, BELL TV, THEIR
RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES AND THE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND
REPRESENTATIVES OF THE FOREGOING OR ITS SUPPLIERS, (INCLUDING
TELESAT CANADA), WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE WHICH
YOU SUFFER AS A RESULT OF ANY SUCH BLACKOUT OR TEMPORARY
INTERRUPTION. However, if TELUS causes a material interruption of Programming
that is not related to natural phenomena or causes outside of its control, TELUS
will provide a credit or refund, at your request, for the Programming interruption
period. For greater certainty, no credit or refund will be provided for Programming
interruptions resulting from TELUS disabling or modifying the software in an IRD
and/or Authorization Device pursuant to Section 5(c) of this Agreement, or if TELUS
can no longer provide any particular Programming for any reason.
d) Private viewing
The right we provide you to receive and view the Programming is for your private
home viewing, use and enjoyment. You will not receive, view or exhibit the
Programming outside of your private residence. The Programming may not be
rebroadcast, transmitted or performed in any form, and no admission charged, or
any other consideration received, by or for the benefit of Subscriber from any third
party in return for allowing such third party to listen to or view any Programming
provided by us.
e) Warning against piracy
It is against the law to receive the Programming, or any portion of the Programming,
without paying for it (unless permitted to do so by TELUS). Doing so may result
in civil or criminal penalty. TELUS also reserves the right to take any other action
to prevent the reception of its Programming without payment to, or authorization
by, TELUS, including the right to modify or disable, or cause the modification or
disabling of, the software in the IRD and Authorization Device in accordance with
Section 5(c) of this Agreement.
f) Additional rules for Pay Per View (“PPV”) Programming
Unless otherwise indicated by TELUS at the time you place your order for PPV
Programming, all sales of PPV Programming are final. If TELUS is unable to provide
any PPV Programming that you have ordered, TELUS shall credit you the amount
for that PPV Programming. TELUS shall have no other liability for cancelled events
or failure to provide any PPV Programming. Certain PPV Programming may only be
ordered if you also subscribe to other prerequisite channels on the TELUS Service.
You shall indemnify and hold harmless TELUS from any claims, liabilities, losses or
damages resulting from your use of PPV Programming in contravention of Section
7(d) or 7(e) of this Agreement. PPV Programming also includes season based
sports PPV programming packages where a customer may have access to all
or many games in a season of a professional sports league. Once you subscribe
to a season based sports PPV programming package, your subscription is an
ongoing one and will continue from season to season. To cancel, you must call
310-MYTV (6988) before the start of the next season since there are no refunds
once a season has started.
8. Privacy
You agree that TELUS may continue to collect, use and disclose personal
information about you for the purposes identified in the TELUS Privacy
Commitment (as it may be amended from time to time), which can be viewed
at www.telus.com. Those purposes are: 1. to establish and maintain a
responsible commercial relationship with you and to provide ongoing service;
2. to understand your needs and preferences; 3. to develop, enhance, market

successors and assigns, and must collect and share personal information
about you to Bell TV. Information about Bell’s privacy policies is available at

9. Miscellaneous Provisions
a) Applicable Law and Enforceability
TELUS is a federally-regulated undertaking and as such, this Agreement, including
all matters relating to its validity, construction, performance and enforcement, shall
be governed by applicable federal laws and regulations of Canada and only those
provincial laws and regulations applicable to it. These terms and conditions are
subject to amendment, modification or termination if required by laws or regulations.
Each provision of this Agreement shall be construed as separable and divisible
from every other provision and the enforceability of any one provision, or portion
thereof, shall not limit the enforceability, in whole or in part, of any other provision
hereof. If any provision in this Agreement is declared to be illegal or in conflict with
any applicable law or regulation, that provision may be deleted or modified, without
affecting the validity of the other provisions. The term “including” means including
without limitation. The benefit of any provision limiting liability in favour of TELUS may
be exercised by Bell TV or extended to include Bell TV.
b) Change of name, address or telephone number
You shall give us prompt notice of your change of name, mailing address,
residency, address, telephone number and other relevant information by notifying
our Customer Service Centre. Notices are deemed to have been received when
they arrive at our Customer Service Centre.
10. Equipment
a) Equipment
All DTH Equipment not owned by you must be returned to TELUS upon termination
of this Agreement for any reason. TELUS may charge you for all work and
equipment supplied in order to extend existing TELUS network facilities to your
premises, including any expenses incurred to secure rights of way, access and
occupancy. TELUS is not responsible for the maintenance or repair of facilities or
equipment owned by you, and does not guarantee that the Services will operate
with all television sets, remote controls, home theatre components or other audio/
82
Page 83
visual equipment. The Services require electrical power to operate, which you must
supply at no charge to TELUS, and you acknowledge and accept that you may
lose service during a power outage unless you supply, install and maintain at your
own expense a battery backup power system. You agree to provide TELUS agents
and employees with access to the property and premises where the Services
are provided in order to inspect the facilities and equipment used to provide the
Services and to perform maintenance work. TELUS will provide reasonable notice
of any such inspection or maintenance work on your premises, except in cases of
emergency. You hereby agree not to sell, transfer, lease, assign any interest in, or
encumber all or any part of any TELUS-owned equipment that has been provided
for your use as part of the TELUS Services.
b) Purchased Equipment Subsidy
If you purchased the IRD or other DTH Equipment you use to receive the Services,
you agree that TELUS has subsidized the purchase price for such DTH Equipment
you use to receive the Services on the understanding that you will: (a) become
a subscriber of the Service for the period you agree to when you subscribe for
the Services and (b) activate the IRD with TELUS to receive the Service at the
address you provide to us when you subscribe for the Service within 60 days of
the date of purchase of the IRD. FAILURE TO ACTIVATE YOUR IRD WITHIN THIS
60 DAY PERIOD MAY RESULT IN A TELUS ACCOUNT BEING OPENED IN YOUR
NAME AND A CHARGE BEING APPLIED TO EITHER YOUR TELUS ACCOUNT OR
YOUR CREDIT CARD IN THE AMOUNT OF $299 FOR EACH NON-ACTIVATED
RECEIVER. You agree that these charges represent a reasonable estimate of
damages suffered by TELUS as a result of your failure to activate the receivers, or
any of them, within the 60-day period.
c) Early Termination
If you choose to terminate your service (or if TELUS terminates your service for
cause) prior to the end of your term commitment, you will be required to pay (as
liquidated damages and not as a penalty) a cancellation fee of $10.00/month for
every month remaining in contract, in addition to all other amounts then due to
TELUS.
d) Not a New Subscriber
You acknowledge and agree that the instant rebate given on the purchase of your
IRD is for new subscribers to Service only. If following the activation of your IRD, it is
determined that, when you subscribed for the Service, you had been a subscriber
of the Service in the last six (6) months, you shall be deemed to be in material
breach of this Agreement and TELUS may charge your TELUS Account the amount
of $200, which amount is a reasonable estimate of damages suffered by TELUS
as a result of your breach.
