Shaw Direct is moving channels in September, they are moving towards making all the channels HD. I had a problem with my receiver, so when I phoned they put me on the new map for HD channels. I used to get local channels like CTV Winnipeg at 25, now all the local and time shift channels start at 100.
Not sure how to figure out which channels are going to end up on which sat at the moment, apparently they are starting now and finishing up in Sept.
Using Shaw Free Range will not work with a VPN. If I pick Toronto or Vancouver a error screen comes up saying "you have flown too far", although you are supposed to be able to use it anywhere in Canada. If there is another way to fool the software into thinking you are still in Canada, when you are in the USA, then it may work.
Slingbox is another option, but I have not tried it. Hope this helps somewhat.
