Re: Shaw Direct Subscription for fellow Canadians
Hi Rob I don't think there are plans to decommission any satellites. Older LNBs will work but will not put out as many HD channels.Old circular dish do not work. They have to be oval shape. In regards to service, we do home away from home packages if you are planning to setup a second residence or rv.266Views0likes0CommentsRe: Shaw Direct Subscription for fellow Canadians

When will I be able to pick/choose the channels for my subscription rather than have to pay for pre-packaged channel groupings, with channels included that aren't interesting to me? $130 per month for TV reception is a bit silly when we watch only 15-20 of the channels on a regular basis, but those 15-20 are strategically scattered in different groupings so I have to pay for the whole package rather than the just the preferred channel. Hi Sue. You are paying quite allot for your bundle. I will send you other bundling options that might help you save. Single channel selection has been in the talks for a while now. It really depends what the CRTC decides to do at this point.268Views0likes0CommentsRe: Shaw Direct Subscription for fellow Canadians

One gets to be pretty good at DIY dish alignments and there is lots of on line 3rd party help that never used to be. Bottom line, do not call the provider (Shaw or Bell) for help while south of the 49th, they may cut off the service. Any thing else we should be aware of :h Hi Harvard We are not allowed to provide technical help if you call from a US number. I haven't heard of anyone having their services disabled with Shaw direct. Bell and Telus will disable their service as far as I was told.266Views0likes0CommentsRe: Shaw Direct Refresh
Good to hear "Canuck traveler". Yes. We do recommend the larger dish do to potential signal loss. It really depends where you are. Larger dish is 75cm. Some Winegard trailer mounted dishes should do the trick as well. If anyone is looking to get setup with service or has questions please feel free to contact me.422Views0likes0CommentsRe: Shaw Direct Refresh
Hello Fellow RV'ers. Shaw Direct coverage still extends from Alaska to Belize. The Larger dish is required past Washington State. Best way to reach out to Shaw direct once you cross the border is through live chat. If you have any questions in regards to Shaw Direct shoot me a message.422Views0likes0Comments
