Shaw Direct still on in the USA?

almcc: That is fine for subscribers in Canada but it is my understanding that the footprint of the new satellites does not cover very much of the USA. Just the North. There are or were thousands of people getting the Shaw signal in Mexico and the Southwest USA. They will be SOL. My Mexico service was disconnected by Shaw a few years ago as the account had Mexico as one of my locations!

Are those footprints available yet? Footprints for DTV and Dish are available and they don't cover a lot outside of the 48 borders with the exception of Alaska. The Alaska portion covers a significant part of Western Canada. I had reception through my Alaska trip.

And Shaw may have to upgrade customers. DTV is dropping SD transmission in 2019 and upgrading customers with SD only equipment. This actually started years ago.
