    Any Shaw Direct Brokers?

    Yes it will work any where you have a good internet connection. Give me a PM. Also F2 still has maybe 5 to 8 years of life yet they tell us and chances of the replacement reaching south is pretty slim. :(

    Any Shaw Direct Brokers?

    Way better and cheaper to get an android tv box and IPTV. You can get channels from Canada, US and the UK as well as movies and tv series for $15 a mth.

    Need to buy some dual lnb dish pro...

    I have a bunch of used pro's, dual & quad. I will take a fair offer considering shipping will probably be around 20 to 25 $ They may say Telus or Bell, but are the same as dish :)

    LNB

    I may have a used one, can check later when it gets light out. I have new triples for $80 though.

    Another PVR question...

    Shaw still has them for replacements when one burns out, but all new installs get a newer model which has a lot more capability and can stack more receivers in an MDU application. You can see a pic of the old one here...

    Another PVR question...

    Not exactly true. Shaw does have what is called a CSS switch that can be added after the LNB which will allow a single line to work with a power passing splitter. Currently they only use them in Condo/apt complexes and the like. Too expensive they say for residential.. Maybe one day they will...

    Canadian satellite

    Can I watch my subscription in the United States? This is not approved or supported by Shaw Direct. Breaking Shaw Terms of Service can lead to account deactivation. If it was illegal by government, they would stop every motor home going across with a dish. Doesn't happen. Shaw can not knowingly...

    Shaw Direct Receiver lost signal

    No, he has to be on an F2 channel to be able to get a signal.

    Shaw Direct Receiver lost signal

    The current and only map going forward is 4378. At some point they will wonder and ask why you have not been upgraded to the new lnb. I am not familiar with the 4377 map, but your on ch 299 try ch 002, 212 and see if you get a signal. if not change map to 4323 and try 512. At this point though...

    how to change the V code?

    you can temporarily change it so you can get a channel to work by hitting options 1122, choose the 1st choice. should be 4321, then change channel to 002 you should get a signal then you can call Shawdirect to activate it. once activated it will change to 4378, it will say loading, wait until it...

    It's complicated. New out of box there is no signal any longer on 350 and it will need a firmware update. easiest thing to do is go to Options, then 1,1,2,2 you now can change the V code temporarily, choose 4378 is the only code used now with the new XKU lnb, then try channel 212 you should have...

    Understanding the Shaw channel layout.

    As I said, If it makes you feel safer by all means unplug it and wait for 2 minutes for it to boot up again. But just so you know, even when customers call Shaw directly with a problem they have the customer pulling wires and swapping wires all while rec is hot. I get a lot of service calls...

    Understanding the Shaw channel layout.

    FTA is a lot different that satellite my friend, I have been doing this for over 20 years and never blew one up yet. But if it makes you feel safer please do unplug it..

    Understanding the Shaw channel layout.

    easiest way to check this is put receiver on a working channel, then swap cables from the dish on the back. if the channel comes back on then both cables are fine. No need to unplug the receiver to do this either.

    Option 1 1 3 3

    No, that is currently in use only for commercial purposes such as condominiums. The price of the equipment is still pretty high and most people would not want to pay for that switch. But it sure would make our job a lot easier.

    Shaw Satellite Finder

    Nothing of the sort! Someone is telling you a big Fib. Satellites don't move for one and until F1 & F2 need to be replaced it will never be a Canada only thing. (If then even) Especially When the Shaw boys own a house in Phoneix. If that was the case my phone would be ringing off the hook and...

    60cm vs 75cm dish?

    Absolutely a 75 is better to bring you a stronger signal as well as a tad easier to tune in.

    Shaw Direct

    FTA is kinda like 8 tracks now days. there is no support, very few suppliers carry them anymore and the content is not that great. We have a population of Portuguese folks around here and they use it for only 1 channel yet with an android box they could get over 99. Most do not have internet so...

    Any use for my old Shaw receiver/Dish set up?

    Not really, you would need a new HD receiver and a New Xku lnb for the dish to make it work.

    No signal from F1 or F2 satellite.

    I don't see any where that you mention your dish size? Assuming you have the larger 75cm dish for that far down your (solid 88 (6.3 dB) signal ) is not very good. It is not possible for Shaw to set you to only 1 satellite like G1 etc. It is possible however for you to be aimed to only 1...

    Yuma Az. Shaw Direct questions.

    I don't think so, I talked to him a few months ago to see if he wanted to order more xku's this year to take and his wife does not want him to be climbing ladders anymore. I can give him a call though and see?

    No signal from F1 or F2 satellite.

    This has all been covered in previous posts. "Do Not Move the Dish"! leave the rec on 4321, then find a channel that works down there like 002 or 003, if you can not change to them because your rec is set for factory default try 396 or 291. It really does not matter what channel as long as you...

    No signal from F1 or F2 satellite.

    Any winegard dish prior to Nov 2017 needs an expensive upgrade to lock into the new shaw Mpeg 4 signal. GPS unit in the motor turrent has to be replaced as well as the controller inside.
