ok... that monthly cost is done through a credit line company (wells fargo) so although shaw doesnt do contracts, the credit line company does (over 1-5yrs). So the PVR that you get is non refundable.
Best way to get cheap PVR's is through visions when they have sales. They are looking at renting out PVR's in the future but not at this time

Are customers obligated to use Shaw's PVR if you go HD? I seem to remember hearing that early-gen HD tuners had their IEEE-1394 ports disabled so you couldn't use say your own PVR.

I have had shaw HD for about 2 comming on 3 years now.. not a problem ever. I did recently upgrade for the 10 bucks a month for the extra HD channels so now I get them all.

Well at least I am not the only one getting the audio drop outs about 1/2 second blips in the audio once in a while it is worse. I recently switched from Bell as the trees on my neighbors property have got too big and they were blocking my Sat signal for my HD dish the standard def dish was ok as long as it didnt rain or get windy. The Picture quality is MUCh better with Shaw I thought my TV was dieing untill I got my new Shaw hook up it is like a new set again. the customer service is by far the best I have ever delt with.

We have the hd pvr box and so far so good you can just get the reciever without the pvr but the pvr works nicly big difference with hd channels but you can still watch other channels (no hd). you can buy the shaw reciever from future or best buy etc.
and if you don't like it at least you can return it. Where as if you get it from shaw's office you can not return is my understanding. We like it. Now if I can only get the dam remote from the wife.
