MONTREAL – Bell TV has launched the first national on-demand video service for Canadian satellite TV subscribers, available in 1080p HD resolution, no less.

Movies cost $6.99 per title for up to 48-hour access, and are available instantly by remote control on channel 1000, or by calling 1-866-68 ORDER. New titles will be made available every week.
"With today’s launch of Bell TV On Demand, Bell TV customers can now enjoy access to an ever-changing library of top HD Hollywood blockbusters – many available the same day they show up at the local video store – anytime they want," said Kevin Crull, president of Bell residential services, in the announcement. "Bell TV is already Canada’s premier satellite television service, offering more than 100 HD channels and the best PVR in the business. Today we’ve expanded our leadership by being the first to offer satellite subscribers a national HD on-demand service."
