Hi everyone, i was wondering if we can get a preview or freeview channel on Shaw for instalation purposes? I was reading in internet that if you are installing a previously activated receiver, you can get a preview channel, bit if the receiver is brand new, you don't have any preview..

When my receiver was brand new and with locked signal, but before activation, I was able to watch

ch 23 (ZK,zero key)
94 (zk)
290 (zk)
299 (u)
all those channels on F1.

Before posting I checked those channels, and they appear as mentioned (zk or u) so a new receiver should be able to show them.
