| Bought a used Shaw PVR and now get all channels
So I bought a used shaw dcx3400 pvr off craigslist a few months ago and the cable package that I already have on my other tv is limited to certain channels but on my pvr that I bought used receives all channels except for the pay per views (I still have to purchase those).
When I bought the used one I brought it home and plugged it in and started watching tv, but I didn't call shaw to activate it to my account because it was working fine, but then a couple days later I noticed I'm getting more channels than I'm paying for so I've left it the way it is.
But today the daylight saving time change my pvr didn't change the time on the guide, so it's stuck one hour behind now. I'm debating if should call shaw to fix or leave it alone.

Your used PVR still under your Seller's Shaw account.

most likely the unit is still active on the previous account it was attached to
if you call in, they'll notice the error and fix it. if the previous owner calls in to have it removed from their account.. you'll lose all the channels until you properly have it on your account
you can try to power cycle the unit to see if that'll update the time

hhmm.. either they deactivated the wrong unit and there's some kind of glitch
regardless, do not call in as they'll spot the error and fix it

you can try to power cycle it, you'll lose the guide for about 45 minutes and it'll fill in again to see if that works.. but if it is a glitch.. i can't guarantee if the other channels will still be there

Free channels who cares?
If you power cycle it too many times, it may update the docsis file and then you're back to nothing.
Live with it until it automatically fixes itself
