    Purchasing Shaw Direct equipment from the states

    ADVERTS 1
    Is it possible to purchase Shaw Direct equipment (dish and receiver) for use in the States without having to use a broker for the account. I do have a Canadian address and a current Canadian cell phone.

    yes...it might be easiest to purchase the equipment in person from retail outlet such as future shop and bring them back here.

    Are you able to purchase both the receiver and the dish from FutureShop?

    No only the receivers. The dish must come from Shaw Direct or some other source. Big box stores do not carry thyem anymore.

    KUSat sells the Shaw equipment/dish and ships, I bought a bell setup and the price/ship was very resonable. They'll setup the account with your Canadian address/phone at no charge. Ship might be higer for the Shaw (bigger) dish though.

    If you can cross the border you can just go to best buy or something, but will have to get your own dish.

    I agree with Jason. KUsat can sell both

    the big box stores dont sell the dishes. Shaw installers bring the dish with them (but since you are int he states they wont show up)
    Winegard 76cm dish, SG2100 motor, Sadoun dual KU LNB..... Directv Slimline SWM 3 LNB.... GeoSatPro 36" dish with Sadoun dual KU LNB... Coolsat 5000 on motorized.... Manhattan RS1933....Directv HR34 (yes the 5 tuner monster) GeoSatPro 200 to aim dishes.... few receivers not set up yet
    Two 6 foot Fortec dish with GeoSatPro dual C-Band LNB "ghetto moved" to various C-Band satellites

    Thanks

    Steve is a great guy to deal with, I purchased one of his 505's and everything went well.

    Fast ship and boxed nicely and great communication

    Thx again Steve
