so it's either my digital box that is causing the sound to skip or it's the Shaw Digital signal itself... kinda annoying... sometimes it's the pivotal part of the show.. like "and the murderer is... [muted]"

it might be an issue with the signal going into the terminal or the terminal itself

just try to disconnect/reconnect the coaxial cable from both ends from the cable outlet and your terminal and bypass any splitters you may have to see if that improves the quality

I can watch the digital channels on the box (no VOD though), but have to press the number buttons a couple times to get recognized and everything is extremely slow. No word from them yet on what the problem is...not do they seem to care.

you should call shaw for help

At least you're not using Telus...

Yes after 3 years or so and 4-5 dual tuner boxes i've given up on shaw. I thought I was paying the price being a early adopter of the first dual tuner hdtv box. Imagine having people over, showing off the HD. Instead they got a treat of shitty audio drop outs. I gave up and have now canceled cable and torrents are the way to go.

StylinRed 01-25-2010 02:38 AM

Channel 14 is doing it now

telus tv is a joke...
if you have telus internet goodluck with bandwitdth...
they can barely support your internet let alone do both.

Bell Tv is the Best by far. You get the most channels + most HD channels for the same price as shaws basic bullshit...

only if we could change to Bell. eff shaw.

But has crappy customer service and way more down time. The also don't have any of there own repair men or installers.

El Bastardo 03-20-2010 07:02 PM

Why does Shaw hate Cops?
Seriously?

nns 03-20-2010 07:27 PM

Just download it.

Problem solved.

If a newbie member made a post like this, he would be failed dozens of times.

El Bastardo 03-20-2010 07:37 PM

Thats not the point. Instead of having to go outside of the law to download a commercial television broadcast I should be able to watch the channel I've paid to have access to and watch the show I intended to watch.

The fact that I keep updating this thread shows a continued failure on Shaw's part to fulfill the agreement they have with me, as the customer, to give me access to programming of my choice.

have you called shaw?

nns 03-20-2010 07:42 PM

Since you're handling this matter with the utmost amount of seriousness, you should be venting your frustrations with Shaw, not RS.

Really, don't be offended, but given the solutions already suggested in this thread, and the matter itself, don't expect a whole lot of sympathy.

El Bastardo 03-20-2010 08:00 PM

Yeah, I've called them. They said they're "Working on it"


In all honestly, fail me if you want. I don't mind. Its Shaw who fails harder.

Most of the times when stations have broadcasting issue its usually started from the source (aka the broadcasters) In this case the closest relay station for Fox is based in Seattle/Washington area. Shaw only acts as a middleman and direct those transmitting signals from station satellites to the household cable. If the stations transmit fucked up signals the most Shaw/Telus/Bell/whatever can do is call up the stations and tell them to turn some knobs and adjust it from the source. The reason can either be weather/power outage/solar flare/godzilla or whatever the hell. Now it depends on how serious the issue is, it can either TAKE AWHILE or REOCCUR AGAIN. Or if its just a minor issue then it most likely will occur once in a blue moon...

Harvey Specter 03-22-2010 01:37 AM

I read Telus TV is stealing Shaw customers. Last year at this time they had around 78,000 subs in Western Canada, right now they have around 170,000 and most are ex-Shaw customers. I also read that Telus is updating all their PVR's to the Micrsoft Mediaroom PVR which will be the same PVR used in Bell's new IPTV service in Toronto and Montreal.
