All that to say, let's not panic just yet. Optimist as I am, I'm hoping they move all the******I don't watch to the new sat and leave the few channels I actually watch on the old ones.
A lot of channels for 16 transponders .....
Shaw Direct announced today the largest High Definition channel launch in Canadian history, bringing more than 120 new HD channels to its customers. This launch gives Shaw Direct customers the most HD in Canada, delivering more than 210 HD channels to its customers.
The new channels are enabled by Telesat's Anik G1 satellite that launched on April 15 and which is now successfully in orbit, positioned to deliver the highest quality HD programming to Canadians from coast to coast. In addition to the HD channel launch, Anik G1 allows Shaw Direct to expand its programming offerings to include more local Canadian channels, Pay Per View and Shaw Direct On Demand.
