    A few questions about Shaw

    I was receiving CBS East. For some reason without tweaking the dish, the missing channels are now coming in. I doubt this is normal behavior, but we will tweak things when I can get my installer back out here. Again, thanks for the help and info.

    A few questions about Shaw

    I just had my installation and activation completed, but there are a few missing channels. I am not receiving Global (Channel 32) or City (Channel 35) from Toronto in HD, or ABC east. Is this normal? I have the advanced lineup now which is different from what I had before.

    A few questions about Shaw

    All 4 of those have the searching for satellite message. I will have my installer fix the 107 signal for me as I'm getting a very strong signal on the other bird at least according to the satellite setup menus. Thanks again for the help.

    A few questions about Shaw

    I just had my Shaw dish installed and I'm now waiting for programming activation which will occur on Monday. I think my installer set up my dish to get one of the two satellites. On Channel 299, I get a searching for satellite signal and the red light is lit on the front of the receiver...

    A few questions about Shaw

    I heard back from my broker and they've told me that they can reactivate my existing equipment, so this might be helpful for those who may be in a similar situation as myself. I'd rather go through them since they already have my information versus trying to do this on my own. If there are...

    A few questions about Shaw

    My final question (for now): is it still not a good idea to connect the PVR 630 to the internet with my type of account? Again, thank you all for your help.

    A few questions about Shaw

    Thanks for all the info so far. When I had Shaw before, the major Canadian networks were in HD out of Toronto. I've noticed that there has been a lineup change. Will I still be able to get HD networks like CBC, CTV, Global and City?

    A few questions about Shaw

    I presume any 75 cm or greater dish will work with the new LNBF or is it just safer to get a Shaw Dish that has the quad LNB?

    A few questions about Shaw

    I closed my account in June of 2013. The dish was damaged to the point that I threw it away so I don't have it any longer. Thanks for the info...I'll do some digging on here.

    A few questions about Shaw

    I had Shaw service in metro Atlanta, but cancelled it due to a dish that was damaged and didn't want to go through the hassle of reinstalling at that time. I am now thinking about resubscribing, but have a few questions that I hope can be answered here. 1. Can I use my old equipment to...

    Have low signal on a couple of Anik1

    Perhaps it could be related to this time of the year as there are occasional outages due to the sun. I had an issue with CBS East on Saturday afternoon, but the signal came back within 5 minutes. The same issue occurred with DirecTV last weekend as well.

    Canadian service below the 49th parallel

    Before I give my reason, let me say that I am not a Canadian and have no family ties there. DirecTV is my primary service and I use Shaw to supplement that programming. My reasons for having Shaw are: 1. Hockey. I prefer how hockey is presented on Canadian television versus how it is here...

    NFL sunday ticket

    That's disappointing considering that there are only a handful of games in HD via Sunday Ticket on SD. But, there are quite a few games available in HD on either SN, TSN, CTV and the US Networks.

    Anik G1 FAQ

    Thanks for the info. One question I have as being outside of the footprint so I won't be able to get channels from G1, will I need a bigger dish, or I can keep what I already have in place (75mm)?

    Shaw Signal Issue

    One of the reasons why I got Shaw was to be able to watch HNIC's coverage of the Stanley Cup playoffs. I was traveling for business yesterday, connected to my 630 via my Slingbox last night when the outage occurred which was quite disappointing. I should have switched to one of the CBC SD...

    Moving from BEV to Shaw this summer and appreciate your input

    I'm also in metro Atlanta and I'm using a 75 cm dish with a 630 and a 600. It works perfectly here. I hired someone locally to install my dish since the best line of sight was on my roof. It look a bit of time for the installer to hit both of the birds since his meter had generic info about...

    Shaw: 630 Problem: "Loading...Please Wait"

    Sorry to bring up this old thread, but this issue is no longer occurring for me. I checked the version of the firmware and it is still 6.22. I don't think this was "magically" fixed overnight, but I don't see anything that indicates that it was. Is this still an issue for folks?

    Shaw: 630 Problem: "Loading...Please Wait"

    I've been having this issue with my 630 for a few weeks. This occurs almost at the same time every day (8:30 am). I get a message on my screen "Loading...Please Wait". When this occurs, I have no access to any of the menus, nor can I change channels. The workaround has been to just shut the...

    A few more questions

    Thanks. I thought maybe the cables coming from the dish were tied to a specific satellite. I disconnected one of the cables from the 630 and connected it to the 600 during the activation process. At that time, I was getting every other channel on the 630.

    A few more questions

    2 months later, everything has been going well. It has been going so well, I decided to add a 600 to my setup. I made the discovery today that the 630 needs to have 2 connections unless there is something I am missing. Since I will have 2 receivers attached, will I need a multi-switch to...

    Anik G1 footprints

    Perhaps it is too soon to speculate, but what will we lose? All of the SD channels currently on 107?

    football

    Since tonight marks the beginning of the NFL preseason (opposite against a potential great game between Edmonton and Montreal), I wanted to ask about the regular season schedule of games. It's my understanding that in addition to Sunday Ticket, there are games available on CTV, SportsNet, and...
