Q. Is it illegal to use free-to-air (FTA) receivers to decode Bell TV or DishNetwork signals here in Canada?

A. It is illegal to use a FTA receiver, or any other device, for the purpose of receiving and decrypting any portion of our encrypted programming signals. Bell TV does not consent to or authorize the use of any FTA receiver or device to receive and decrypt its service for any purpose, including testing. It is also illegal to receive DishNetwork programming in Canada as they do not have lawful right to broadcast here. Signal Theft is a criminal offence. If you have information relating to an individual, or individuals, that may be involved in satellite piracy, you can report it to the police, or forward it to signal-theft@bell.ca for investigation. Any information provided will be treated as anonymous and will be kept strictly confidential.REF:http://www.bell.ca/support/PrsCSrvTv_Theft_FAQ.page
