So I called them finally to confirm some stuff, they're offering the Gateway HDPVR and portal, so that's good, it's basically free rental on those for as long as I'm a Shaw customer.

The channel package was the Premium one, which is good.

The sales guy, despite me asking, told me that the pricing didn't increase, but I found out that the price is only for 3 months, after that it goes up $60 per month.

So after all that I wouldn't save anything over what I'm paying now, in fact it might incrase. I might get a few extra channels and some fancy hardware, but we hardly watch TV and the only thing we PVR is anything related to space or aliens on Discovery.

Jerks, I knew it was too good to be true.
