Just checking out Shaw's site. Do they have a PVR that is non HD? I can't seem to find any info on one. I thought that there was a DCT + PVR that is non-HD in existence.

i think bell only has the pvr non hd.
I have the HD PVR, it's pretty rad.
I think it's 100$ cheaper at Sound surround than if you get it from Shaw,
But don't let the fucking bastards lie to you, and tell you that there are no component video cables inside, then only have a 7 day but "at our discretion" return policy.
Oh, and BTW.
FS: Monster Component cables, 200$
Jackasses.
Shaw has 3 Digital Cable Terminals.
One is just a normal digital terminal, one is a HD terminal, and one is a HD PVR. There is no non-HD PVR's.
Just get a Tivo

Yes, you can get Tivo in Canada. You have to buy the box from the states though.Originally posted by Bill Cosby

Pay the fee. It is like $14/month and it record everything for you. If the show gets pre-empted and moved, it will pick up the changes and record it for you.
I do not know how to hack it cause it would take me more time to figure it out than paying the $150/year.

When was this allowed? I was told that I can't use Tivo unless I have an american address and social security number.Originally posted by benyl

I have the HD PVR for shaw and don't really like the interface. Is the TIVO that much better? Cause if it is, I may sell the HD PVR and buy a normal HD receiver and buy a TIVO.
Tivo began offering programming for Canada I think sometime of the Fall of 2005. I got my Tivo in October of 2005 and love it, the interface is great and a bit better then the motorola interface.
I tried out the Comcast HD PVR interface while down in the states and it did its job but not as clean as the Tivo. My assumption is that the Shaw PVR has the same interface.
Yeah, I have had mine since September or October. there was a big thread on it that rage2 started.
The price does change every month with the exchange rate...

I bought my Tivo off ebay for $80. I swapped in a 300 GB HD for the 40 GB it came with. Cheapest way to get a high capacity non-HD PVR.

Wow $150 per year just to subscribe to TiVO? Yikes. That's 12/month on TOP of my shaw bill. Maybe I should just get a non shaw PVR. I think they had some at FS for $400.
You have a couple of photos that are great... you must be very good at photoshop!
the non shaw one can't control the box though, right?
The SHAV PVR rocks:
-dual tuners
-record two shows while watching a previously recorded one
-HDTV capable
-create "series" recordings so that your favorite shows are always recorded
You can pay Tivo $299 for a lifetime subscription. But it is tied to the box.Originally posted by clem24

Tivo now has a two tuner box as well. Season pass manager is great. didn't miss an episode of anything I wanted last season.

I have a dvd recorder with a hard drive and it works great. It has TV Guide included and TV Guide updates for free through your normal cable. So I pay no monthly fees and still get a guide that is a week and a half in advance. I pick my shows and let the machine do the rest. And if I want a hard copy of the show I just transfer it to a DVD in a matter of minutes. I can even edit the shows before I put them onto DVD. I can remove commercials and put in chapter markers if I like. And best of all, it is really easy to use.
x 2 for dvd recorders w/ hard drive.
P.S. I can watch other shows that I have recorded while I'm recording. I can pause the hockey game and rewind while recording. It rocks

Just buy a computer with with windows mce installed and a tv tunner, get program guide, do all your recording, series recordings anything like that free of stupid monthly charges, and its none HD so you can just hook it up to your normal cable you have right now and off you go, comes with remote so works just like a pvr. Been doing that with mine for a year and a bit now works great, and whats better is if you got an xbox or a 360, media centre extender (build into the 360, addon for normal xbox) and you can do all the same stuff you do downstairs (program guide, tv, watch recorded stuff videos movies pics all that ) upstairs though your xbox over the network, works like a dream no lag at all :d
