Frequently asked questions

How long will the installation of my new Cooptel television service take?

Usually, the technicians take 4 hours including: wiring, installation of the decoders as well as the explanation of their functioning. If you have many decoders, this can take a full day.

How do we proceed to rent a movie?

From the guide on your decoder, tune one of the Pay Per View channels. Chose the movie that you wish to watch and click on the “OK” button. You will then have to enter your personal identification code (it has been given to you at the moment of the installation) and press on the “OK” button again.

At the scheduled time, the movie will start, that being, whether the channel is tuned or not. As the viewing is in real time, it will be impossible to turn back; you must plan the recording or use the “auto-tuning” function.

For more information, you can consult the usage guide and you will have the course of action.Generally speaking, CoopTel offers a credit limit of $100 per month. This limit can be modulated depending on your needs.

Can the technician connect my home theatre during the installation of the Cooptel television service?

For starters, the technician only installs the television and you must link your home theatre en decoder equipment yourself. By calling upon technical services, the technician will be able to do the configuration and the linking.
