So let me make sure I understand. There will be two Big Ten HD channels but only one for NFL ST? What's the sense of that?

NHL Sunday Ticket will have just one HD channel. In theory, that means two HD games each Sunday (1 PM ET and 4:15PM ET). Keep in mind, there will also be HD games on other HD channels (FOX, CBS, etc). Hopefully Shaw will choose games that aren't already airing on other HD channels to put on...

That's one great thing about S*. Their freeviews last for months!

Just received an e-mail update from Shaw Direct. AMC HD starts Sept 1 and they're teasing their "major" HD PVR enhancements. Hopefully they'll start rolling those out soon!

Just one HD NFL Sunday Ticket channel on Shaw Direct this season. Hopefully they select a game that's not already in HD on another channel. https://secure.shawdirect.ca/promotions/english/nflsundayticket/default.asp

I'd be shocked if it ever sees the light of day. Launching and operating satellites isn't cheap. Neither is the overhead of running a sat service or the amount of fees they need to pay to networks. They'll need a ton of investment capital, and they're not likely to get that in the current...

Is there any word on what they're replacing them with?

So if I order both NHLCI and NFLST I'm looking at Sept 2009 through May 2010. $29.99 for nine months is $269.91. If I cancel after a couple of months, I still owe for the rest of the months until the end of Round 2 of the NHL playoffs, correct?

I agree, I don't think one exists. There wasn't one in the box when I received my 530. If there was one, it would only be a page or two. There really aren't any "features" worth documenting! ;) Praying for the software upgrade they're promising!!!

Golf HD? Seriously? WHY when you have so few HD channels would you add a niche channel that only a small percentage of subs will watch? They're either getting it on the cheap or entered into a crappy contract with the Golf Channel that makes it a must carry. How about Global HD? City HD...

I knew it was too good to be true. No changes this morning on my 530. Same old ugly, feature-deprived software.

Agreed. The game looked phenomenal last night.

No!!! One bad experience was enough for me.

I have DirecTV, Mediacom and until last week, Bell. I just activated SC last Friday with a 530 DVR. SC's HD quality blows Bell away. Not even a close comparison. It's equivalent to DirecTV nationals, and better than the KC locals. I watched the Chiefs game on SC's Detroit HD feed because it...

Damn. I should have waited another week!

I took the easy way out. I had BEV through CanAm. I was one of the lucky ones that had a smartcard so my service was fine until Nimiq 4. I installed and activated StarChoice last Friday. I simply had my bank cancel my Visa check card and reissue me one with a new number. Any future...

You shouldn't have any problem with Starchoice. I'm at 38N 95W (Kansas). My SC system arrives today and will be installed Friday. I'll be happy to let you know how it goes.

Why don't you just file a dispute with your credit card company?

Your link is bad. Here's the press release... CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - Oct. 20, 2008) - Shaw Communications Inc. (TSX:SJR.B) (NYSE:SJR): Now Canadians across the country can enjoy a new service introduced by Shaw Communications last month. Fresh on the heels of a successful launch...

Still nothing on 82 here in Kansas City. Doesn't matter, my Star Choice PVR and dish are on their way. I'm switching regardless of whether 82 comes back for me or not.

When I activate my Star Choice service, if I sign up for "The Nets" specialty package does that give me US networks from Buffalo, Detroit, Spokane and Seattle, or does it just give me Buffalo OR Detroit and Spokane OR Seattle?

Why not just call retention? You're already shut off, so they can't do that to you. Worst case, they'll close your account and you'll be sure that your credit card doesn't get charged any longer.

From what I can see, there are several networks available in HD on Bell but not SC (example: CityTV, CTV, Global and CBC W). If the PQ of those is going to be poor for me with SC, I might just cancel Bell and live without SC. There are also a couple hundred SD channels on both compared to only...

I now have Transponder 3 on 82 at 90%. I'm getting the same thing with the receiver powering off and on after a minute or two of looking at one transponder's signal strength.

Can anyone compare the SD picture quality of Bell vs Starchoice? Viewing on a 42" Samsung LCD HDTV.
