Channel Packages On Bell Site Incorrect

I was comparing the better (my current) to the good package on the Bell website and found the line up listed is woefully incorrect.  One example of many inaccuracies is that 206 PBS is listed but it is actually Omni 1.  Both are listed on the same channel.  Huh?   As I went further in the list I found many other errors to report here.   Suffice to say the website is a joke.   I am going to call Bell to report.   Ideally it would be nice to export the lists to an excel file so you can properly compare.

A better tag would be helpful. 

How do you edit the tag?

Good Day. @Retiredandbored

Because of the channel changes, which have been outlined, and because there is still much in flux, it is challenging to do an apples to apples comparison between channels. I have Satellite TV and the Fibe app. Channels continue to change.

I did discover that the satellite receiver moved my recording settings to the new channel assignments without my intervention. I also reviewed my favourites list to remove one channel I no longer receive and add some of the new ones.

I've created an excel spreadsheet of the stations.  I cannot share here because it's against the rules.  But if you want to do it yourself:
1) Select the channel packages one section at a time. 
2) Copy and Paste Special as Text into an excel spreadsheet. 

3) Then select Data > Text to Columns > Delimiter . (period) and select multiples as one.   

This will create a 2 column spreadsheet.  I added a 3rd column for package and fill down for each package.

Good news is that the issue I initially spoke about ... re channels on the packages website have been corrected.  Although my ticket was never responded to directly back to me ... someone fixed it online and in the PDF
I have to say that the loss of HGTV is a blow.  My wife watches that station extensively.  I see its being offered by Cogeco still so may go back to their service so she is not walking around like a lost zombie. 

I think this horse has properly been beaten to death so I will bury it now.   Thanks everyone for your assistance.  

These are the stations that are not listed on the PDF file download (from Dec 31 2024)
