The big thing that keeps me from switching back to Shaw from Bell is the lack of a UHF remote. What that means is that with Shaw you will need a box for each and every TV as opposed to using Bell's 2nd tuner.

Also my last side-by-side comparison (which was 2 years ago) seemed to indicate that Shaw will increase the bandwidth for popular HD like Sunday Football (making them better than Bell), but have less bandwidth for things like Discovery HD (making them poorer.)

But Shaw does have History HD which Bell is missing.

If you do call in tell them you got a flyer to trade in your Bell receiver for a Shaw HD-PVR. It may take some CSR-roulette to get the deal, but it's worth a try.
