We have Shaw Direct. AFAIK, Shaw has the only service that will work in USA these days.
Shaw works fine all the way to San Diego, with the following notes;
Around mid Oregon we lose all the 500 (HD) series channels, those on the new satellite. This is as expected.
We get all the SD channels everywhere, and most of the time, most of the 300 series (HD) channels are ok. Weirdly, we lose 328 (Fox) almost every night at 7:30 pm. Sometimes we get 325/6/7, NBC/ABC/CBS, sometimes not. Sometime we lose one, or two, not all three. Most of the other HD channels that we subscribe to, we have no trouble with.
One stupid trick that the PVR likes to do - if you set a recording to a channel that has lost its signal - the PVR will 'record' anyway. Nothing is recorded to the hard disc, but that tuner is tied up for the duration of the show, you cant stop the recording, or delete it until after the fact.
So, once we head south, I change all our PVR recording events to 'SD only' so this does not happen. Back in Canada, I change them all back to HD.
Any other questions, let me know.
