@Hack -- I would give anything to just have a basic PVR once again
Check online web-sites, such as KIJIJI or CRAIG'S LIST or www.used.ca for previously-owned Shaw Gateway PVR boxes, being offered for sale by people who have switched from Shaw to TELUS, and now have a Gateway gathering dust.
Be sure to get the Serial Number of the box, and check with Shaw, to confirm that they will activate it onto your account, before you purchase.
