Shaw Direct FAQs
The Shaw Direct 600HD and 800HD both only need one cable in from the satellite dish.
Shaw Direct currently offers 2 receiver models. The new HDDSR800 HD receiver and the HDPVR830 Personal Video Recorder. The HDSR600 and the HDPVR630 have been discontinued since summer 2017.
The Shaw Direct HDDSR800 requires a single coax from the dish or appropriate switch.
Yes. Your PVR will not function properly if a single coax is split.
The newest LNB is called a Triple Satellite Quad Output xKu LNB.
Yes. There is a LNB made for either the 60E or 75E dish size.
The old LNBs have been out of production for several years and are no longer available. We do not carry second hand equipment.
Each LNB has four fully functional coax outputs. Keep in mind HDSR600's require a single coax, HDPVR630's require two.
By using a Shaw Direct approved switch, you can increase your outputs from 4 to 8.
