Got a call from Shaw, they saw I had home phone and Internet, and wanted to know if I wanted to add Shaw cable. I said I was on Shaw Direct, so they offered to add Shaw Cable for $15 a month ($5 a month but that was for 25Mbit Internet, I have 100Mbit). And they will give me two HD PVRs.

Seems like it'll save me $60 a month or so, though I'm not sure what channels that includes, he mentioned a channel package but I can't find it on their site so I'll have to call back to find out.

I asked and the pricing isn't limited time either (i.e. it doesn't go up after 6 months).

Seems odd to offer an existing customer something like this out of the blue, are they trying to get people off Shaw Direct?
