    Shaw Direct cracking down on account sharing?

    So... Account splitting is a topic to be discussed?
  2. J

    For those who use an address for Shaw outside the Toronto area.

    G1 is all MPEG4 and is full except for 2 transponders now broadcasting PPV. Any transponders changed to MPEG4 in the future will be on F1R/F2. All that is required is 6XX receivers to receive MPEG4 channels. Existing non stacked quad non XKu LNBFs will continue to get all F1R/F2 channels...

    SimSub gone wild

    Pull the plug from the wall for 5 minutes. If that doesn't solve it, try a rehit from the SD website.

    Anik G1 Online. Not strong in the Southwestern U.S.

    No - the only way is like lost_mesa used. As mentioned previously - DO NOT INSTALL XKU LNBF if you are outside the footprint.

    Shaw Direct using the same hardware setup as Hawaii - 2 X 1 meter Ku band dishes tied together with a 22 kz switch. Get a 600 or 605 receiver as eventually all F1R/F2 signals will be MPEG4. See Mike Kohl's site for additional info + dish pointing angles. Account sharing is illegal -...

    Shaw Direct receiver purchase at Future Shop windsor location?

    If you are outside the footprint of Anik G1, find a dish with a stacked LNBF or non Extended Ku Band quad LNBF.

    Have low signal on a couple of Anik1

    If you have a SD quad LNBF, move cable to another output. Sometimes one output can go bad.

    HDPVR 530 Question

    When Shaw catches someone account stacking, all receivers tied to that account are rendered useless. Find a new broker who doesn't cheat.

    extended ku quad lnbf

    As it stands now, you should NOT install the Extended Ku LNBF if you are outside the footprint of G1. That's because Vancouver HD signals will be placed on G1. During a Pacific time zone simsub, you will not be able to receive any HD signal as the the Extended Ku channel maps for a Seattle...

    NFL sunday ticket

    SD never seems to make up their minds to the last minute. There are rumors that a $29.95/month basic package will be offered like previous years. Also there is the F1R transponder 1 MPEG4 test. Right now there is only 1 mapped signal on it - Nat. Geo. Wild HD. At the 45 MB data rate, there is...

    Anik G1 FAQ

    Shaw has been raising prices $3/month every July for almost a decade now. As for the high cost of cable head end/LNBFs for G1, I see this as good news for subs outside of the G1 footprint. Small cable companies will want new HD signals on F1R/F2 to save costs.

    Anik G1 FAQ

    Last year, any sub with a stacked LNBF who signed up for NFLST got a free non stacked one since some NFLST channels were MPEG4. Expect them to repeat this offer this year. It would be a xKu model as that's all that SD is supplying now.

    Anik G1 FAQ

    Probably - they are telling subs who have stacked systems with 4X8 multiswitches that they're multiswitch will work with the new LNBF. Probably the reason that there are no channel maps for stacked systems and MPEG4. SD wants these out of the system.

    ExpressVu in Houston... can't find Nimiq 1

    Not worth the effort for you. N1 is being replaced by N6 - see the sticky. Shaw with a 75cm dish will soon be your only option.
