For our neighbors to the north, does anyone have a preference between Star Choice and Bell Express Vu? Any advantage from one to the other? I know both have NFL Sunday Ticket and some U.S. local stations as well as no Saturday Fox Baseball blackouts on MLB package.

Starchoice doesn't have NFL sunday ticket. Atleast they didn't last time I checked. That is pretty much all you need to know if you are looking for a dish to watch Sports.

The Starchoice website says Channels 421-435 are for NFL Sunday Ticket.

Oh my bad i guess its new cause i was looking into it last year and they didn't have it

In that case they really isn't any difference in either service (i don't know if you are paying for it or not) Starchoice has more dishes up in space but really both offer the same stuff with time shifting and the same lineup. I know people with both and the channel lineup was pretty much the same just pricing is different. However I only see Starchoice having NFL sunday ticket and not the MLB, or NHL package (for some odd reason no TV company offers the NBA package in Canada)

I was thinking of activating one of them since the signal is perfect in MIchigan. You can subscribe from the states using your CC and a Canadian address. TSN and Rodgers Sportsnet with the other U.S. local stations is a good plus.
