Tradeoff with Shaw mobile is still the coverage and signal strength when in your home zone in basements and offices (just like the early days of Fido in the late 90s) in town.
As for cable, got Blue Curve recently and some things bug me over the old Gateway.
- Not being able to set recordings on the app anymore. Out and running late for a Flames game, with Gateway app I could setup the recording. No dice with Blue Curve, which is ridiculous given that our 5+;year old Gateway system could do this through the same app.
- The Ffwd and rewind button aren't synced with what is shown on the screen as you are rewinding or ffwd. I want to rewind something back 10 seconds like a Flames goal, but when I do and the picture on the screen rewinds to where I seem to want to go and push play, it hasn't rewound and goes back to basically the live feed. Same thing the next time. Then I let it rewind an extra few seconds and it's gone back further than what the screen shows. Very annoying.
-No "last channel" button on the remote like Gateway
-Another rewind Ffwd issue; on the Gateway, when you pushed pause, if you pushed Ffwd or rrwd it would do a slow mo frame by frame. No such thing on Gateway.
-Default the guide to show only the channels we have. Each time you have to open the guide twice to be able to select that option.
Still have a Gateway box and big box, Shaw has shut it down after a month for live tv but can still access all the PVR.
Hopefully Blue Curve gets some of the old functionality back as mentioned above, unless I am doing something wrong.
