It's all about bandwidth my friend. Satellite providers have it. Shaw doesn't.
The only way to get more HD on Shaw would be to spend beaucoup bucks to upgrade their infrastructure or to compress channels even further.
The former option would no doubt result in a giant loss for Shaw or an increase in prices to consumers, either of which would likely lead to a mass exodus of subscribers to other providers.
The latter means you're going to see more artifacts and less "H" in your HD.
