On the TV front I had basic cable (2-22 and some other random channels) and HD basic (the first 13 or so HD channels). Now my HD selection is worse (same amount of channels but worse channels IMO) and I lost TSN in SD. I might try phoning them and try to switch back or I'll seriously think of switching to Telus.
Doesn't matter who I am with, but I hate paying so much for TV/phone/internet.

If you compare the available packages to customize with between Shaw and Telus, you're likely to run into the same situation. I switched to the plan personalizer and got the base package + Sports 1 (TSN/Sportsnet) + Entertainment 1 (NatGeo, Discovery, Space, etc) - Phone - Extreme Internet. I'm paying less and only losing two channels we used regularly (OLN and TLC, the latter I think my girlfriend only used to watch Say Yes to the Dress and Hoarders).
When I looked at what packages I would need from Telus to get the same experience, it would cost more. They put some channels that are grouped together with Shaw into separate packages, which was the deal breaker for me. Getting temporary discounts is nice, but not great in the long run.
