    Shaw Direct Moving 6 More Channels to 8PSK Modulation

    So if Shaw gets out of the Sattelite biz, how long until that happens? 1,2,3,4 years? Will that mean my current 505 system will become useless or will it get transferred to FreeHD??? Will Shaw simply sell my account to FreeHD???

    Canam Satellite

    I used to be a customer of CanAm (StarChoice) but after the bust I had a hard time reaching him. Emails (even sent to his new place) went unanswered or took a long time. Phone calls were useless. I was looking to upgrade to a HD Shaw system and the last thing I wanted was to invest in a new dish...

    Low Shaw Direct signal

    I had and old 301 system (9 years) and it was just wear-n-tear that did it in (I now have a HD505 system). LNB was getting old and was effecting my signal reception.

    NAFTA and dishes???

    I just don't get it. In an era of "free trade" why such a fuss about cross border sat-dishes? Does it boil down to turf-wars, securing markets and protectionism??? :rant:

    FreeHD Canada - New proposed satellite service has applied to the CRTC for a licence

    Yeah, one of the "crazy curling fans" here in the states (not even a Canuck). Got a SC dish years ago and will be upgrading to HD soon. :)
