Bell TV subscribers can access TMN Online anywhere in Canada - TMN Online now available at no extra cost through Bell TV Online portal TORONTO, Oct. 13 2009 -- Bell TV today announced the launch of TMN
Online, a new broadband entertainment service that enables Bell TV
subscribers with The Movie Network to watch movies and series from any
computer with access to high-speed Internet service anywhere in Canada.
Available through the Bell TV Online portal at bell.ca/tvonline, TMN
Online provides subscribers with Astral's TMN programming for premier access
to Hollywood and independent hit films, TV series and original Canadian
programming for free as part of their existing TMN subscription. Viewers will
be able to access approximately 130 hours of content weekly with new content
made available each week. For added convenience, subscribers can
fast-forward, rewind, play and pause movies and series and review title
descriptions.
"The Bell TV Online portal is a rich value-added service for Bell TV
subscribers. By working with Astral Media to deliver TMN Online, customers
can get movies and shows on demand with the convenience of watching on their
computer or laptop wherever they can access the Internet," said Kevin Crull,
President of Bell Residential Services. "As the first TV provider to offer
this service in Canada, we are once again proving Bell TV is the most
advanced TV service available with unbeatable value and entertainment choice
for subscribers."
This service is the first in North America where authentication and
access are linked to the subscriber, rather than to the home Internet
connection. This enables customers to stream TMN Online content to their
desktop or laptop computer anywhere in Canada, wherever a high-speed
connection is available.
TMN Online is part of Bell TV Online, an online portal delivering a
compelling cross-platform entertainment experience. Bell TV customers can
enjoy the added value of ordering Pay Per View content, access to NHL Game
Centre Live or viewing movies and TV series online. This unique portal
delivers an unparalleled subscriber experience by extending the entertainment
experience from the traditional TV screen to the Internet, a key component of
Bell's TV Anywhere three-screen strategy that works to deliver entertainment
content on TV, computer and mobile-phone screens.
