This is exactly the post that i was fearing that i would eventually read.
i am at exactly the point where my great deal for the last year has expired and the massive new bill for next month just arrived. i knew that this was going to happen...so i am not surprised, nor am i surprised that i have to make changes to my shaw plans.
i played with the online "personalizer" (which for the record is quite far from the truth) and i arrive at the point where i have to do something to get my costs down. can shaw not just offer a plan where the hd users don't pay for sd, and vice versa?
ironically, the best way to maximize the utility of shaw is to move to a model with the gateway and portals, otherwise i have to have a bunch of point solutions, or sacrifice the design of my home entertainment, or stop watching the TV i want (and family).
it is funny, but if i want to watch the flames in hd, i have to go with the basic, and then sports 1. sorry just venting...i know it is the same for everyone.
to stay on topic...i get to the point of going with the arris product, and then i remember this thread, and i wonder about the experience that results. i probably will go with the arris...but it just makes me wonder/worry.
thanks to squiggs and everyone for posting their experiences in this thread.
