Shaw has a new satellite up, their third, that will allow for many, many HD channels. They expect everyone will want those, but the footprint is basically only over Canadian soil. If you opt for their new programming from the new satellite you will need different equipment, therefore only useful in Canada. If you stick with what you have it should work into the future. The rub is when you want to run Shaw Direct up north and down south but you've gone for the new HD programming off the new satellite, you'll only get the signals in Canada. That's how I see it. With their focus so much on HD from the new bird, service for Mexico-bound signals and that equipment may too soon become a problem for travelers.
