Winegard crank-up with Shaw Direct?
We have a Minnie Winnie with a crank up Winegard dish on the roof. Does anyone have experience with being able to use this type of dish with Shaw Direct service?
We have used the crank-up successfully with our home service from Bell ... provided we have a campsite with a good opening to the sky. We are considering the Shaw Direct service as we will be traveling more including to the US and have heard/read that Shaw is now the only solution for Canadians wanting to see Canadian programming; Curling, etc.
We hope to use the crank-up with the Shaw box for locations where we have a good line of sight to the sats and a Shaw portable dish on tripod when there is too much tree cover. Has this worked for anyone out there?
Does it matter what type of Shaw box we get? The PVR box requires 2 cables which I don't believe the crank-up has the ability to handle. Thanks for any help you can provide.
