Unless something changes which I doubt, the only good way in the future would be to have a vpn that gives a Canadian IP and continue with your viewing online. Probably most of us will be done with the service unfortunately. I think some of the channels will migrate earlier that 2025, it's been a good ride while it lasted.

Hi all; I am at 40.4n and 74.59w and using 60cm Shaw dish-I am missing most of the G1 channels-not sure if 76cm would solve it? For years I had Bell xvu until the Nimiq
