A few of the newer channels were missing though, so I guess they are on the new bird that has a more Canadian focused footprint.JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09016073653349776611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5414957110325310952.post-78027576793090159092014-10-31T13:19:24.811-07:002014-10-31T13:19:24.811-07:00Thanks for the tip!Thanks for the tip!Crofthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17634815881045387152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5414957110325310952.post-82160934615284864712014-10-31T11:27:32.084-07:002014-10-31T11:27:32.084-07:00First commercial crab opening is November 15th.

It would re-boot very often, sometimes 3 or 4 times per hour. Playback of recorded programs was also very jerky. After jumping through all the hoops with customer service (soft reset, factory reset, plug it into a different outlet) they relented and sent me an exchange unit that has worked well for the last week or two. We do carry a very old SD receiver as a spare in case one quits working.<br /><br />I could not get them to admit the problems were a result of the new software update and guide change although we all know that was the problem..Crofthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17634815881045387152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5414957110325310952.post-71907475970223484542014-10-31T08:29:48.118-07:002014-10-31T08:29:48.118-07:00Email from Al:

Maybe a coincidence but the Shaw techs seem to know about it and especially the issue with the remote. Two re-installs of the firmware didn't solve the problem.<br /><br />Shaw will exchange it for a refurbished 630 and I will take them up on the offer but I ended up buying a new one as a second PVR as we don't have time for the exchange before we head south (and I want to watch all those recorded programs before the exchange as I will lose them).<br /><br />I asked Shaw to re-install the old guide, they won't do that because of the advantages of the new guide that they get!Crofthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17634815881045387152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5414957110325310952.post-33299437198892777042014-10-31T07:27:09.048-07:002014-10-31T07:27:09.048-07:00If you have Blue Cross as part of your normal medi...If you have Blue Cross as part of your normal medical package, give them a call as we've found them to be the cheapest the past two years.
