    Shaw Direct Reinstallation issues

    We moved cross country from MN to VA in early 2020. My Shaw direct satellite worked perfectly. Had a new dual tuner LNBF and newish HD PVR. Just had a guy come out and reinstall the dish and coordinated with Broker in Canada. Previous installations have always been seamless. Signal...

    Record not working on Shaw 630

    Before I call up north, I'm wondering if it is an easy fix. I was home in Canada, came back and the time on my Shaw PVR was frozen. I could watch TV, but I couldn't use the recording or add programmes to record. I rebooted the machine, everything went fine, I was able to get the guide, set a...

    HR24 New Software (0x59e) Causing Lags?

    Anyone get this issue resolved? Mine is horrendously slow using any type of remote command in relation to the guide. Forwarding a recorded show is ok. Another problem when I click to play a show, the screen continues to display with the recording information and menus with the tiny picture on...

    Shaw PVR - How to Multi Delete recordings?

    I have the most recent Shaw HD PVR, which I really like, although, is a bit clunky in some operations with the remote in terms of the number of steps necessary to do a function. Let's say I have a new series I recorded, watched one recording, decided I didn't like the show, but have 10...

    D* Arrived Today... Learning curve with setting recordings

    Yes, I realize that. I'm not wanting to watch a third show while two are recording. I want to record another show that has multiple runs and I want the DVR to pick up the next available episode to record and record it only once.

    D* Arrived Today... Learning curve with setting recordings

    This is exactly what I want to avoid. I want it to pick up the next available run of the show without recording multiples of the same episode.

    D* Arrived Today... Learning curve with setting recordings

    This is what I did with E* Dual DVR: Network show like, say Amazing Race with only one viewing... It is higher on the priority list than say, Real Housewives which has multiple airings. Say TAR and RH air at the same time, with RH as a lower priority so it doesn't record b/c another programme...

    D* Arrived Today... Learning curve with setting recordings

    What I want is for it to automatically bump to the next available airing of the show. Shows Amazing Race only air once. Real Housewives episodes air frequently. I want to do one scheduling of the series 'Real Housewives' and if RH is on at the same time as 2 other shows, it will be bumped by...

    D* Arrived Today... Learning curve with setting recordings

    My D* was installed today and I happily called E* to say Buh-byeeeeeeeee! So, I'm fiddling around trying to learn the new system. I'm confused about a couple things and hopefully someone here can help. I have looked in the manual and it isn't that explanatory. I'm a bit confused...

    Wading into the gray market - help me find flaws before Shaw does

    If this is the route I must go, was it just a matter of you plugging in the receiver and attaching the cable? The satellite doesn't need adjustment or anything like that?

    Wading into the gray market - help me find flaws before Shaw does

    Thanks for your response. I'm wondering if I go thru KuSat if I will have the same luck as a PP in getting it activated prior to delivery by coordinating with my current broker. Will have to give them a call about that.

    Wading into the gray market - help me find flaws before Shaw does

    I have had Starchoice for a long time in the US and my current receiver needs to be replaced. Does anyone know if I will have to get the new receiver activated or since I am an existing customer through a broker, is it just a plug in kind of thing? Also, if KuSat provided you a PO address...
