$69 is very good. Probably lowest of all.

Here's the bill that I just received as attached.

Philip: Your deal is much better than mine. I guess my bargaining skill is not good enough, but i will properly stay with the deal that i got today, as i think it will be hard to get more "extra" from them...

fm9610: $69 is real good. Is this a promotion price for a shorter period (like 6 months) or for the whole year?

saotome: You may want to call Shaw and press "3" on the menu to cancel the service. Say you want to cancel the service and they will properly give you a customized offer. The Asian TV Pack does not listed on Shaw website, but if you call them they will add this to your account instantly.

Peter236: From what I heard, this Asian TV Package is good until Feb 2011.

打左喇，講到口水乾：

1. Extreme-I
2. Basic cable upgraded to full cable + basic HD + Asian TV Pack ($7.95)
3. Phone + unlimited Canada/US LD (useless to me)
4. Extra HD PVR

$87.95 + tax，慳左 $20 左右

貴 Philip 個 plan 大約 $14，差別係 Extreme-I…

Mine is a no ending deal, but the free PVR rental will only last for 2 years. Hope there will be a better deal then or I will have to call customer service again.

Where is the price for Talentvision? It is now listed as part of Digitial TV?

I want to add that Shaw's HD PVRs are really shxt, DO NOT buy it, just rent!!. The reason why I am saying that is that I have access to all of the models and majority of them have problems. The older Moto 3416/6416 lags 1 sec (minimum) when browsing through menus, the current Pace 775/758 are fast, but it has a higher than usual fail rate (based on complaints/returns), the new one Moto DCX3400 so far so good (released in June).

Shaw disables most of the extra ports in the back via software, so don't expect to be able to use those ports for anything else (like export recorded stuff to a PC...)

My plan is that if my PVR is free for a year, I can simply call and moan about how "shxt" the PVR is and see what they will offer.

My rental Pace TDC776D is so far so good, but very noisy. I am planning to buy a ESATA drive to expand the hard disk capacity.

I am using a Sandisk reader to convert the video from my PVR. Slow but it works

I have plugged the PVR RCA output to the input of my Sandisk V-mate. conversion will be done once I finished watching my recording.
