Bell Canada's Alt TV service, launched Monday, allows subscribers to watch channels offered by Bell TV through the Bell Fibe TV app on their smartphones, tablets, or laptops, without requiring a cable box or even a television set. Alt TV doesn't offer all the features of a full Bell Fibe TV subscription. Unlike subscribers to Bell's full Fibe TV service, Alt TV customers won't have the ability to pause live TV or record shows. Regulatory questions raised"​Consumers don't need to worry about data usage or fees when viewing Alt TV at home," said Bell's press release announcing Alt TV. Pik TV customers get 23 local and regional TV channels for $20 per month, plus a choice of five specialty channels.
