Hi there @Papalach. Thank you for reaching out to the Bell Community.

If you've purchased your receiver outright you may keep it and do as you please with it.

If you rented / are renting the TV receiver, you must return it to Bell.

Let us know if you have any other questions.

Cancelled bell sat, want to resell receiver to a friend.

Zedjay13 — Fri, 28 Jul 2023 23:20:22 GMT

Is there any issues or hoops I have to jump through for selling my receivers to a friend after my bell subscription is cancelled at the end of July. I’ve had bell for about 11 years now so the receivers should be paid off. There is a 9400 and 2x 6400’s. friend has an old bell dish on their house, just needs some receivers. What’s the cost for a bell employee to come out and hook everything up if they sign up for a bell subscription?
Any info is helpful, TIA!

If you own the receivers, they are yours to do as you please. You can sell them, donate then to charity, or just dispose of them. I would check with Bell Satellite TV to confirm your ownership when you cancel your subscription.

In terms of installation & subscription costs, it is best that your friend contact Bell Satellite TV at: 1-866-845-2998 for the most up to date pricing.

Deactivate a receiver if selling it?

Does a receiver need to be deactivated if selling it?

I assume you are talking about a Fibe tv receiver. If you own it, you can sell it. You must deactivate the receiver from your account before it can be reactivated on another account. You will need to contact Bell to verify & deactivate this receiver.

Sell receiver?

I've cancelled my Express Vu account and hope to sell my "owned" receivers.

Based on my past experiencing buying used equipment, I know they have to be deactivated from the prior owners account.

Please help. I've been on the phone for nearly an hour.

The information is no longer obvious on My Bell account. Thanks in advance.

Oops! I guess my question should have been: How do I deactivate my receivers online?

Good Day & welcome to the Bell Community Forum.

Thank you for posting your question. There is no method for you to disconnect your Bell Satellite receiver on the Bell Community Forum. Has it been deactivated & removed from your account?

Do you still have a Bell Satellite TV service? If so, your receiver & your Smart Card would be linked to your Bell Satellite TV account. Do you own or rent this receiver?

In either case, you should confirm these details with Bell Customer Service. Please call: 1 866 310-BELL (2355) or dial *611 from any Bell mobile device.

Take care.

Can my brother give me his PVR if he's cancelling his Bell service?

Can I sell / receive a receiver?

WelshTerrier — Mon, 15 Sep 2025 13:28:17 GMT

Good Day.

Thank you for posting your question.

Which Bell TV service does your brother subscribe to? Fibe TV or Satellite TV. Is your brother renting this equipment from Bell? If so, then it must be returned to Bell.

If he is cancelling his Bell TV service, he will need to contact Bell Customer Service and provide them with a disconnect date.

The Bell TV PVR will be linked to your brother’s account. If the equipment belongs to Bell, your brother would be charged a non return fee if the PVR is not returned to Bell within 30 days of his service being cancelled.

I would suggest that your brother contact Bell Customer Service to discuss this with a representative to cancel or make changes to his Bell TV account. Call: 1 866 310-BELL (2355) or dial #611 from any Bell mobile device

Take care.

Can I sell / receive a receiver?

I have removed a receiver from my account. I don't need it anymore and want to sell it. Even though it has been removed from my account, do I still need to de-activate it? And if I have to de-activate it, how do I do that once it is no longer showing up in my account?

Good Day & Welcome

Thank you for posting your question.

This is a peer-to-peer website. As such, we do not have access to your account and billing records. I will try my best to answer your question based on the limited details you have provided.

Yes, you can remove a receiver from your Bell TV account, by logging into your MyBell online account. Navigate to your TV service. Select > My equipment. Select > the specific receiver. Select > Deactivate receiver. Select > Remove receiver.

What is the model of the TV receiver that you wish to sell?
Is this a Fibe TV or Satellite TV receiver?
Did you purchase this receiver from Bell or from another supplier? Is this a rental receiver that is no longer being billed?
If you own this receiver, you can deactivate & remove a receiver from your TV account on MyBell. Removing your equipment without cancelling may not stop billing.
If the equipment belongs to Bell & needs to be returned, you can use the Bell - Equipment return to generate a prepaid shipping label.

You may wish to call Bell at 1 866 310-BELL (2355) to confirm the ownership & account status for this receiver before you sell it. This receiver will have a label affixed to the bottom that identifies the make, model, serial number and MAC identifier number.

Should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to us once again.

Thank you for posting your question.

Take care.

I removed the receiver before I deactivated it. Is this going to be a problem when I sell it to the next person? The equipment is no longer a rental. It has been paid for a long time ago.

Good Day.

Unfortunately, I cannot answer your question, "Is this going to be a problem when I sell it to the next person"? I wish I could, but this is not possible until you provide some further details. Please tell us more in order for us to help you more.

Is this a Fibe TV or Satellite TV receiver? Did you purchase this receiver outright or did you rent this receiver as I am describing:

The monthly rental fee for each receiver drops off of your bill if you meet the following criteria:

Rental term is month to month: If you rent your receiver without default for 60 consecutive months, you may continue to use it at no charge for as long as you are a Bell TV customer. The receiver remains Bell’s property. You may terminate your rental at any time provided you return the receiver (early termination fees on programming may apply). Receivers may be new or refurbished at Bell’s choice.
You should be able to see where you are at in terms of the number of months you have rented in the 60 continuous months.
After the 60 months, the rental charge for that specific piece of equipment will be automatically removed from your bill & will no longer show up on your account.

To be safe, call Bell. If this was a rental, then yes, this could be a problem. If you purchased this receiver outright, then no.

Thank you for reaching out with your follow-up question.

Take care.
