So we called in to Shaw today because we got screwed when we upgraded to a digital box. We used to get SD channels 2-50 but the digital box disabled everything past 20. Shaw tells us that we weren't ever paying for the others but we got it because of their mistake (not true, we did pay for it, but we have no way to prove it....clearly the plans were different 10 years ago.)
TLDR; for the past 6 months we've been paying more money for <20 channels. (we pay $90/month for 2-20 and internet)

The icing on the cake? Our second TV without a digital box didn't disable the channels so I could still watch hockey games in the basement. Now it's been crippled as well.

So today we wanted to add SNET West and One to watch the game. I checked the website before calling it says you can add two channels for 3.95/month.

But you can't. And they'll give you a runaround about having to have tier 1 ($14/month) in addition to tier 2, but basically the website is wrong and they can't do it. And there is no way to individually add sportsnet west (except for the 3.95/month option which doesn't work)

So I've been looking into Telus and it looks like a basic bundle would be $103/month. Problem is, at this time, we don't need an HD digital box. Do they have a cheaper rental for standard def or are you forced to rent the more expensive HD option?

Shaw is supposed to call in the next few days with 'the best offer they can make' but I would like to go into it knowing all the options.
