Bell ExpressVu to add 76 new channels, including more diginets, HDTV signals

Plans for new services to be introduced by satellite TV operator Bell ExpressVu LP this year point to it being a leader in such areas as high-definition television (HDTV), but continuing to lag behind its cable competitors in video-on-demand (VOD).
