Bell or Shaw - Which has better reception across the U.S.?

[ltriggs1]

I have had Bell ExpressVu for a decade and am
considering changing to Shaw in order to receive new customer bennies like a new dish and lower price on receiver. I live NW of Seattle but RV half the year coast-to-coast. Any suggestions? BTW have great Bell reception now

Shaw by a mile

The footprints of the 2 Bell sats drop off dramatically the further into he states you get
Shaw works in Mexico

I agree with Iceberg. But if you are going to be traveling south, you'll probably should make sure that you get a 75e dish (not a 60e)

I had Bell until they changed their footprint last year. I am only as far south as Missouri, and could not even get the Bell satellites unless I upgraded to a 4' offset dish. So I opted to switch to Shaw, instead of buying a dish that may or may not work here.

With Shaw, I can get the Anik F1R and Anik F2 satellites (everything but Canadian HD locals on Anik G1) with very good signal on 75e dish. I am in the process of trying to find a used 6' offset dish, to see if I can get Anik G1 here (for Canadian local HD channels)
