my dad called customer service this morning and they asked him for our address and said we can switch the box and that was it.

Got a free upgrade to 50Mbps for no extra cost ... now on hold and waiting online to get my router function turned off... lets see which one is faster.

what is the looking for? IMO the shaw service/PVR is hands down the best setup that we can get locally

Telus is god-awful, their guide is painfully slow and their box/remote combo is absolutely horrible, unless your sitting directly in front of the box the remote will not work, Bell is basically the same as Shaw but with the downsides of sattelite

She's upset with the channels, old basics like Spike wasn't included and the bill is around $45 after the frist 6 months. She's saying it's not worth it. Plus I can't add just a single channel, I have to add the entire pack.

I called and they wouldn't switch my sd box for an hd one. Best they would do was take $55 off of an hd/hdpvr if i turn in the sd box (DCT700 if anyone was wondering)

Just want to say that I bought a HDPVR (dcx3400) for $98 from shaw at the aberdeen chinese new year thing.
Digital Forum - View Single Post - After 'Shaw Secret Sale' discussion thread <- some info here, doesn't list the price. But you can also buy the gateway with 2 portal rentals for $148 at that event

I heard from my parents that people were just going to shaw office with their old box to get the hd box. When they started people were lining up outside to trade in their SD box

when i was at the shaw office last week i heard a guy say he was there to swap for a hd box. the rep said oh we can't do that and guy said oh i called and talked to someone and said i could. the rep looked up their info and gave them a new box....

i wonder if just saying that i talked to retentions they would give me one..... or it have to be documented on the account???
