Fellow Snowbirds, sounds like it is ok to refresh on the Shaw website while in the US. I am aware that one should not call them or if you really do have to call don't tell them you are in the US and try to mask out your phone number like use Skype and don't ask for coordinates for a US site....ouch wouldn't that be a give away!
You know Shaw got caught in the middle of all this, I think they were pressurized to reverse their stand from US Satellite providers not the CRTC as they probably could care less as their authority below the border is 0.
BTW Dishpointer works excellent every where I tried it http://www.dishpointer.com/
Thanks everyone for your responses, great site for help.
