Yes, I was wondering if the new 800 receiver would identify your position to Shaw when you are trying to activate. The Internet connection I think is just for Shaw Direct on Demand purchases for movies etc so you don't need to turn on the internet connection. Apparently the receiver will ask you if you want this or not.
I assumed it would be the same procedure in activation as the old 600. The quad LNB will work on the 800 as it stated this in the instructions on the Shaw Direct website. I always just called them from my Canadian cell number which is the primary contact number. Tell them I want to activate and within 5 minutes we have a picture and my programming.
Hopefully it will be that simple with the new 800 receiver. I had the 600 for years but they told me as of the next spring which was 2023, it was being phased out.
I'm in AZ on the east side of Phoenix. I have the 75CM dish and my signal strength is 97%.

Hi Toban, just wondering if you are having any issues with your new 800 receiver in AZ. I’m in Los Angeles and the new 800 receiver worked well for a few months and now doesn’t work - I have 75cm but with an old dual quad LNB - can’t get signal passed 50%
any insight would be great.
thx.
