I had shaw hd for a while and had nothing but problems. I then switched to Sasktel high def, which was way worse. ex. freezing during NHL playoffs I finally switched to Bell HD and havnt had a problem in over a year. Setup was a bit of a pain though.

fom Shaw's site, HD is $298 to purchase or $10/mon, the HDPVR $498 or $15/mon.

guess nice thing with Shaw is no contract so could try for a month to see if I could live with it.

ok... that monthly cost is done through a credit line company (wells fargo) so although shaw doesnt do contracts, the credit line company does (over 1-5yrs). So the PVR that you get is non refundable.

Best way to get cheap PVR's is through visions when they have sales.

They are looking at renting out PVR's in the future but not at this time

Are customers obligated to use Shaw's PVR if you go HD? I seem to remember hearing that early-gen HD tuners had their IEEE-1394 ports disabled so you couldn't use say your own PVR.

I believe you can go HD Receiver or HD PVR Receiver.

I have had shaw HD for about 2 comming on 3 years now.. not a problem ever. I did recently upgrade for the 10 bucks a month for the extra HD channels so now I get them all.
