    OK, So I am Closer Than Ever to Cancelling Shaw Direct and Going 100% Internet

    Greetings CDN Satellite Fans, I love my Shaw Direct system here in Atlanta, GA. Been using my oversized 2-dish system for the past two years (was previously with Bell) and really have no complaints. Well, I guess I could complain about the CRTC's restrictions on content, but there's really no...

    Disney Junior (FR) not Available in GA (Shaw Direct)

    Greetings Canadian Satellite Friends! I noticed that Shaw Direct shows the Disney Junior channel as being on 230 / 396 on their channel list. For me, I see nothing on 230 and 396 has CPAC (kids aren't likely going to be interested in watching the Canadian parliament channel). Any ideas as to...

    630PVR Quirkiness

    Greetings SatGuys Friends: Has anyone experienced a strange phenomenon where, when starting out to watch a PVR recording, there is no audio initially? I sometimes have to hit the skip back button for the audio to come on. Is this an undocumented feature ( :confused: )? My unit is brand new...

    HELP!!! I Need to be Zapped!

    Hello Everyone, I am in need of some help. I bought a 630 and a 600 in Canada, where the technician did a mandatory installation at my summer house. As part of that installation, they activated both of receivers for use with the 60E dish using the quad LNB. Fast forward 2.5 weeks... Upon...

    Shaw Direct on Demand (do they track IP addresses?)

    Greetings Gang! My new 630PVR receiver has an ethernet port on it to allow for on demand content. Has anyone in the U.S. tried using this feature? I would think that they would not knowingly send content to a U.S. IP address. But then again, they may be turning a blind eye? mecdatlanta

    Shaw Question: 1 Dish or 2?

    Greetings CDN Satellite TV Experts: I am about to have a 630 shipped to a family's residence in Canada, where I will pick it up and bring it to Atlanta. Mike Kohl, who has been most helpful, has recommended an 85 elliptical (which I will order from him). What I am not clear on is whether I...

    About to call Shaw (and cancel Bell XpressVu)

    Hey Gang! After nearly 10 years of trouble-free service from Xpressu, I am about to pull the plug on our beloved DVR. Why? Because I live in Atlanta and, as I have been told by the informed frequenters of this forum, Bell is going to pull the plug on anyone living much further south of the...

    Is Roku the Answer?

    Greetings All: I visit this forum from time-to-time, but am definitely not a big contributor (Iceberg, I think you have us all beat there! BTW, do you look anything like the photo?). I appreciate this forum as a French-speaking Canadian who lives in Atlanta and wishes his children to grow up...

    Can't see channel 139 on BEV

    Hi All: I am interested in signing up for Télétoons for my son. It's supposed to be on 139. However, when I type 139, instead of seeing "You are not subscribed...", it goes immediately to 138. Also, the guide doesn't show 139. It's as if it doesn't exist! Can anyone explain this to me...

    Thoroughly confused
