I don't know about all channels going HD, but I can tell you that Dish is being a real tool about trying to get me to give up my SD dual output receiver. I think it's the 322 model. (Non DVR, SD). Everytime I call (which has been often because we've been having issues with the HD receiver in the...

I hear you! I was with Directv for 10 years. When they first came to Cleveland; it was before deregulation and it was the FIRST alternative to Adelphia cable. It was SO superior and being from Canada, I LOVED that it offered a few Canadian stations. Then the price increases and the channel...

May I ask your opinion on what receivers to get? I've been reading that Shaw is coming out with new receivers so I don't want to get something that will end up obsolete. I would like a HD receiver for the living room, and a SD for the playroom. I was reading at Kusat and I didn't notice HDMI...

Thanks for the quick response. I didn't realize that the only thing off would be the time zone if I used my family's address. I guess I was just more worried about getting them in trouble. I guess I can go through Kusat, I was just hoping that since I go to Ontario pretty often, I could just...

Also, I'd like to get an idea about programming packages. I would want Treehouse and Nickelodeon for the kids...HGTV, TLC, FOOD, Showcase and CBC for me...and all the news channels. (CNN, HLN, FOX, MSNBC...) Can I get those in the Digital Favourites package? I am finding the Shaw site a bit...

:o Anyway, I while back I was all set to get my ShawDirect system but had to back out due to some personal problems that required a lot of my time, attention and money. So I am basically starting all over. Here are my questions: 1. I have a Directv HD satellite dish already on my house...

As a Cleveland fan I am afraid to say anything good about the Cavs...the jinx you know! If you say anything even remotely positive about a Cleveland team then you can FORGET about it...! You've sunk the team for the year! ;) Look what happened to the Cavs...The Sports Illustrated Cover curse...

I may very well go this route...I've had an offer I may not be able to refuse. :)

Good to know! How about I toss you $30 bucks to hook up this system when I get it? ;) I'm a known clutz...ladders and I don't get along!

I own the entire series...all the specials, (Hearts of Dartmouth, Christmas Special, TPB 101), Cart Boy, the pilot movie, Say Goodnight To the Bad Guys, TPB-the movie (The Big Dirty) and drove to Canada to see the premier of TPB- Countdown to Liquor Day. I have the movie soundtrack, I have...

I wouldn't even call what we have here a team...my 7 year old's flag football team has a better offense then the Cleveland Browns.:rolleyes: But what can anyone expect? We have not had a solid team since that bastard Modell took our team out of the city way back when! Let us see, we've had Tim...

BTW, I was thinking about getting a cell phone (either prepaid or contractual) with a Canadian phone number. Would that fly? I am not sure how Vonage would work, since we have an AT&T landline. Would we have to give up the landline? If I get the cell phone/phone service; I'd feel more...

Thanks for all the information! We've been dealing with the flu here so I haven't had much chance to read the boards. We are looking to switch around tax time.

I am not a Paula Deen fan, so that's okay with me. :) Is there anything MAJOR that we have here that is missing with the Canadian satellite programming? Personally, the only channels I watch are Food, Bravo, TLC, IFC, and our 101 Network and that is just for one specific show that I can get with...

Thanks for the info...the two little guys wouldn't want to lose their Disney programs. :) They are really excited about getting "Treehouse" though. Most of the shows they love (like Max & Ruby) are Treehouse productions. We were going to use family's address originally but I don't want to risk...
