Bell ExpressVu consistently provides state-of-the-art products and satellite-delivered services — with high performance, ease of operation, and a wide variety of entertainment options.
The Bell ExpressVu high-definition satellite system is provided by Bell TV system for the Canadian customer. To get started you first need to install the dish. Professional installation is available, but if you want to do it by yourself, it's not difficult.
Step 1
Find a location to mount your dish that is secure enough to support the dish and has a clear view of the southern sky.
Step 2
Assemble your dish according to the instruction manual that came with it.
Step 3
Navigate to your receiver's menu to retrieve the coordinates you will need to aim your dish. Write down the elevation, skew and azimuth coordinates for your location.
Step 4
Mount the antenna mast to the location you have selected. Make sure that the mast is straight up and down and level in order to locate the satellite signal with the coordinates you wrote down earlier. If you are supporting the base to a wall or on the roof, make sure to screw down the base so it won't be affected by wind. If you are using a tripod or a chimney mount, just follow the directions
Step 5
Set the skew and elevation on the guides located on the dish assembly on the back of your dish. Align the skew line with the number on the skew meter; then tighten the skew bolt. Set the elevation line with the number on the elevation guide the same way and then tighten the elevation bolt.
Step 6
Place the dish on the top of the mast and slide it down until it stops. Set the azimuth you need by turning the dish until the azimuth line is on the right number. Tighten down the azimuth bolt.
Connect the coaxial cable that runs into your home to the dish. Twist on the F-connectors on the end of the cable onto the connectors on the LNB on the end of the arm extended from the dish. Secure the LNB to the arm.

The Bell ExpressVu satellite dish is a Canada-based television service, designed to give you the same programming features as other cable providers. When using the Bell ExpressVu dish, you are able to connect multiple receivers to the equipment, as long as you have two or more satellite arms connected to it. This must be done by a service technician, but once it's installed, you are able to connect two different receivers to the dish.
Step 1
Contact your Bell ExpressVu satellite service provider (the exact number is going to vary, depending on your location and service provider, although the information is listed on your monthly billing statement). Request to add a second receiver to your service. Set up a day and time frame for the installation technician to stop by and connect the second arm.
Step 2
Attach the first coaxial cable running out of the dish into the 'In' port of the first receiver. Repeat the same process with the second coaxial cable and the second receiver.
Step 3
Plug the component video cables into the 'Component Out' ports on the first receiver, then attach the other ends into the 'Component In' ports on the TV. Perform this connection on the second receiver.
Connect the RCA audio cables into the 'Audio Out' ports on the receiver, then plug the free ends into the 'Audio In' ports on the television. Do this on both receivers. To see the Bell ExpressVu programming, power on the receiver and the TV, then choose 'Source,' followed by 'Component Video,' on the TV and the content loads onto the screen.
