I knew it.

Why not consider switching to Star Choice (Shaw Satellite) and get all the same channels and more.... with 16-20 HDTV channels with options for PPV Hockey games for Flames,Canucks,Oiler,Senators ($10.00 each).
They just added a few more a couple days ago.

I get tons of sports from all over the place with Western Canadian Junior hockey Broncos,Hitmen,Rebels,Ice,etc

for USA networks:
I chose Seattle over Spokane because I got tired of Krem, Kxly,etc

I chose Detroit over Buffalo...for obvious reasons.

I have the Essentials package.
I dropped the shaw cable but kept the internet and save $8.00 from the tier-3 shaw cable/shaw internet package.

Right now they have an enormous deal for the satellite decoder.
