How to upgrade your Shaw Satellite Receiver and receive HEVC channels

Contents
Overview

We want you and your business to have a high-quality satellite TV experience, so we are upgrading our Shaw Direct network and converting all channels from MPEG-4 to HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding) format.

As described below, all Shaw Direct subscribers will need an HEVC-compatible receiver to continue receiving Shaw Direct services as the network upgrade progresses.

Additionally, these network changes may also cause some of your channels to be reassigned to new channel numbers.
