Another Shaw Direct Question

Shaw has been moving all HD channels to their new third Satelite, so expect all HD to go the way of BEL

We are presently in west Texas. We still get some HD channels (for example CTV Toronto) and for other channels that we watch we have to go to the SD channels to get them. Some of the eastern Canada stations are on HD at the lower channel numbers as well.

Are Sportnet and TSN still on HD? Got to see my Canucks games.

Yes. Watching here in Casa Grande, AZ

Nice. That makes me happy. I'll be in Quartzsite next Friday.

Not ALL.

Joe if I remember right you are in Mesa. Are you still getting the prime time channels in HD?

I'm still at home. Heading to FL in 3 weeks. Mesa and TX was last year.

You will not get the Canadian Network channels in HD. We are in Arizona and have not gotten them for several years. They were moved to the new bird whose footprint does not extent much south of the border.
You will not get most US Network programming in HD as they default to the Canadian channels if the same program is shown on both.

Not quite accurate.

We are in Tucson right now and listening to Canadian radio on Shaw. I just tuned to CTV Toronto in HD ( channel 534, you may have different channel mapping), CBC Toronto next to it at 533 is also in HD, both must be on one of the older sats.
