Fpag 2014!
Well Ladies and Gentleman, its time for a return of CP's favourite plaid-clad fire-stoker extraordinaire!
Quote:
Calgary, Alberta (November 23, 2011) — What Christmas is complete without the warm glow and soft crackles of the fireplace? Shaw is excited to announce the return of the beloved Shaw Fire Log, back for its 25th holiday season, along with other favourite holiday programming for Shaw and Shaw Direct customers.
This year there are more ways than ever to experience the warm glow of the perfect fire. From now until January 6, Shaw Cable customers can enjoy the Fire Log 24/7 on the Frame channel (165 SD and 212 HD) or as a free order on Video On Demand. Shaw Direct customers can also curl up in front of the Fire Log by accessing INFO299 at select times or by downloading for free at vod.shawdirect.ca. Please check your local guide times to confirm Fire Log air times and channels.

Though I appreciate the tradition of the original FPAG on Shaw, I think many have swapped to FPBG (fireplace bellows girl) on Telus.
Holiday throwdown!

I downloaded the Android app. Thank goodness! I don't have Shaw cable, and the Bell version is brutal.

This quote from Pylon last year (I think?) is still hilarious:

Fire tending is still a mans world, and I find watching the Telus feed, is tantamount to watching women's Olympic hockey. Yes it is the same sport, but it lacks the physicality and intensity of the pro game.
Perhaps in a few years we will see improvements but for now, FPAG 1.0 is the prime ticket.

Norm!

there is nothing better then turning on the T.V. for an afternoon nap and turning to the Shaw Fireplace and drifting off to sleep to the sounds of wood burning and crackling.

That was an excellent post.
Hes on fire this year! Although (unfortunately?) not literally. Though that would spice things up a bit.
I'm a bit of an FPAG aficionado because my parents have that thing running 24/7. Despite the fact that their TV is on top of their actual fireplace.
The whole thing drives me insane and I actually avoid their home as much as possible during the holidays.

The new boxes automatically convert channels to the HD feed.
Let's hear it for not having to remember a second set of channel numbers!

I hate to say it but Telus has a superior FPAG this year, only one way to settle this. Game of Arms!

So here's my issue with this year's Shaw fpag...his choice of flannel.
Previously, there was an air of masculinity with the fpag, you could see he shopped at Bass Pro, or even, possibly Mark's Work Wearhouse.
This year, the wussy guy they have doing it looks like he picked up his plaid shirt at a Tommy Hilfiger Outlet - probably during the summer at an extra 30% off the already low-discounted price.
