Does Bell Fibe TV have these features? Thinking of coming over ...

Hi everyone,

I'm thinking about moving from Rogers and was curious if Bell Fibe has some of the features I've gotten used to. They aren't deal-breakers necessarily, but looking to understand the differences before deciding:

> Does the remote have voice control to search by movie name or change channel to Netflix (eg)?
> Can I access streamers like Netflix, Prime, Apple, YouTube, etc through my Bell service?
> I assume the 4k TV boxes are wifi capable ... is the reception decent?

Thank you for any help and cheers!

You are asking for an awful lot in your 3 questions:

It is equipped with Google Assistant.
Equipped with Fibe TV search, internet search, etc.. etc.
It has preset buttons for Netflix, Crave, Prime Video, Apps, On demand, etc.
Streaming yes.
Wi-Fi yes.
Reception is in the eyes of the beholder. What is great for one person is not for another.

I have included the following links that for the most part will answer all of your questions.

Ty WT,

Just to expand on the main question I can't quite figure out, which is the voice search. Let's say I'm sitting on my couch and want to watch Rainman ... can I press the mic button or google assist button, and ask my bell box to show me where I can watch Rainman on the screen? I'm trying to figure out if Bell has added the feature Rogers has had for a while. With Rogers, I can press the mic button ... say 'Rainman' or 'Rainman movie' and I'll see a set of options where to watch it and whether it is free to me or not.

Will the Google Assistant do this with the Bell system? Ty again.

While I find the search a little less "polished" than Rogers (for example, I have all of the apps installed that they're suggesting I install), it will let you know where you can watch things.

EDIT: tried adding pictures, but they're too large

Sorry, this is not Rogers. This is Bell Fibe TV. The two systems are completely different. All of the questions you raised earlier are referenced in the links that I previously attached.

In terms of the Voice commands, did you review this web link I previously replied to you with ? The web link has examples for everything that you are now mentioning in this note.

Google Assistant voice commands are covered in depth in the following web link

Using voice commands with Fibe TV : Enabling bilingual voice commands (bell.ca)

Take care.

Thanks WT.
Read your post and somehow missed the links. Think I'm too trained to ignore people's signatures and just scrolled past. Have checked them out now and ty again.
