Streaming is fantastic—until your favourite playoff game is region-blocked or your rural internet hiccups. Satellite TV fills the gaps that pure streaming still can’t cover, especially outside city limits.
What’s New with Shaw Direct in 2025
- 4K HDR on more than 100 channels (hello, hockey in crystal clarity).
- Wi-Fi–enabled receivers so you can pause in the living room and resume in the trailer.
- Smartphone remote app—ditch the couch-cushion hunt.
- Stackable packs: Pick a slim lineup and add sports, movies, or multicultural when you want.
