Shaw sucks

Once a week I look forward to my white trash guilty pleasure, Cops.

It comes on at 8pm on Ch.28 (Fox) and goes for a full hour. Two episodes.
This is some of the only broadcast television I watch so I'm a little pissed that I see "No Video Input" broadcast over the sound of some Chinese drama show.

What the shit? Fuck you, Shaw cable!

I don't get that "No Video Input" thing on Shaw that often nowadays, but my cable signal skipped like a motherfucker during the Canucks game. The Punjabi coverage of HNIC didn't though.

for me through Shaw Digital, the sound (only) skips (mutes) every once in a while (but regularly so)... but the same program watched on my regular cable tv in the other room doesn't skip at all.

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]"

I haven't had the EPG guide or any analog cable service for the last 4-5 days. 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.

That doesn't sound right (maybe it was just 2 in that deal?). Only Telus TV limits the number due to the bandwidth they use (1HD+(1 or 2)SD boxes). There shouldn't be a physical limit for Shaw at all...
