sm1mex Posted December 10, 2023 Report Share Posted December 10, 2023 We were in contact with our Shaw rep today. There is a new owner of Shaw. It is now called Shaw Direct Roger’s. They are cutting back the signal at night in certain areas. Apparently we are one of the areas. We lose our signal every night but ok during the day. If you don’t lose your signal that is great but if you do this is the reason. We are changing to Kiwisat out of Miami. 150 channels. Everything we want. Serves Mexico Latin America and Caribbean islands. Besides constantly losing our signal Shaw has discontinued just about every favorite channel we recorded and watched. So we are done with Shaw. The 3rd satellite is going to be on by Spring 2024 fully and the other satellite that you get the channels on now is going to off and not available to Mexico in Spring. (I don’t where the 3rd satellite will cover. Maybe only Canada) but what we get now will be gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sm1mex Posted December 10, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2023 I just have this also. The 3rd satellite won’t cover Mexico. You are in Mexico and Shaw Direct-Rogers are moving to 3rd satellite and can't be reach from Mexico. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johanson Posted December 11, 2023 Report Share Posted December 11, 2023 One of my neighbors up north, said, of course, you will be able to get the signal from the new Satellite, Trouble is you will need a forty-foot dish in. I wonder how big a dish you would really need . Perhaps even larger than 40 feet in diameter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sm1mex Posted December 11, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2023 We were not told about how a big a dish should be. We were told in spring Mexico satellite will be no longer and 3rd satellite will not serve Mexico. Shaw will cease spring 2024. 7:15 pm we have no signal for the whole night. Just like every night. Paying 100% a month for 50% daylight signal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mexbound Posted December 11, 2023 Report Share Posted December 11, 2023 Can everyone see that Shaw is now "old news". Come on people, move on. I have. I have had Shaw here in Mexico since 2005. I now have Directv Stream (at half the cost by the way) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sm1mex Posted December 11, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2023 How does Directv work? And how many channels do you get? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mexbound Posted December 11, 2023 Report Share Posted December 11, 2023 Know that "Directv" and "Directv Stream" are two different services offered by the same company. I use "Directv Stream" with a Amazon Firetv Cube. You will need a VPN on the Firetv cube. I use NordVPN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
