  3. Moving date
  4. An alternate phone number where we can reach you during the move (e.g. mobile phone)

What to do on moving day?

What you need: Pack up all of your receivers, remote controls and internal switches and take them with you.

What you DON'T need: Leave your satellite dish behind. Bell will provide a new dish if one isn't currently installed at your new address.

What to do on the day of your installation appointment?

Unpack your equipment - Place your televisions, receivers, remote controls and internal switches in the rooms where you want them connected.

Be home - The account holder must be on-site for the duration of the installation. If you can't be home at that time, please ensure a representative, 18-years of age or older, will be on-site to authorize the installation and sign the agreement on your behalf.

Installation times - Installation may start at any time during the scheduled appointment window and may extend beyond the allotted time, depending on requirements. Below are average installation times:

  • Basic installation with single-tuner receiver: 2 to 2.5 hours
  • Basic installation with 2 single-tuner receivers: 2.5 to 3 hours
  • Basic installation with one dual-tuner receiver: 3 hours

What to do after your appointment

Once your installation is completed, call Bell Satellite TV at 1 888 759-3474 to reinstate your programming.
