What I notice is that with IPTV there are way less issue. Like no issue at all when compare to the old coxial system. However it does have issue with some Sound system or some 4K conventor for some reason.

^Just signed up with Telus and getting new services installed later this month. Got fed up with Shaw stupid ridiculous rising cost. I've been with them as loyal customer for like 16 years, no loyalty credits. Paying $171 after tax for home line, basic tv and internet 15....Absolute bullshit pricing.
Telus deal I got is, pick 6 x theme packs + internet 75 + home line = $97 per month + tax for year 1. Also got a $200 credit for jumping ships.
Year 2 goes up to $149 + tax.

Does anyone know if Chinese channels are an additional cost for Shaw? I can see it's $10 for regular TV, but I don't see it for bluesky.

^They wouldn't budge at all, the price wasn't as high until recents years, they slowly jacked up the price, buck here and buck there, and next thing you know, so high now.

for me, i got tired of SHAW GATEWAY...slow, laggy, ugly dated interface. BLUESKY seems like a bunch of crap... needed to try something different for a few years.

What did you not like about Blue Sky on Shaw? (Note: I am using OptikTV from Telus.)

The system is actually quite good and loads a lot faster than the gateway system. Voice remote is pretty intuitive and when you're searching for a movie or show it makes it a lot easier because it searches through everything, even Netflix.
If he called and asked nicely they will definitely do something about it especially when you mention Telus. With Shaw and Robelus, you just need to always call and bug them. They're not just gonna automatically add credits onto your account for no reason when your actions (by not calling to complain) show that you're willingly paying that amount.
*disclaimer I work for Shaw but do not sell home services*
