@tc10 The latest model is just a streaming box, no PVR. However you can record and store tv show in the Blue Curve cloud. All works well.

Also my BlueCurve boxes perform very well and the picture is crisp and clear. I found the picture better than the Apple TV streamer. There seems to be less Moire.

here I am almost 3 years after your post. I'm having the same issues. But it's only on Sports especially hockey. There's a contour around all the players of pixelation. It's not a frame rate issue. I had the cable service through a Gateway before switching to Blue curve, and the Gateway picture is much better. On the blue curve 4K looks like HD, and HD looks like standard definition.

Ou Shaw Arris TV Gateway 1TB external PVR storage drive just crashed so I am now having to move to BlueCurve TV and doing some updated research.

Is BlueCurve TV still limited to 500 GBs of storage for shows & movies?

Does Shaw have an option to add more TV shows & movies storage in the Cloud yet?

@tc10 -- are some of your questions answered on this Shaw web-page ?

To anyone still having this issue, we just switched from Telus optik to Shaw bluecurve and I can confirm that the picture quality is absolutely subpar.

As said previously, 4k looks like barely HD and HD looks like 480p.   Currently have a technician coming to look at it, even the Netflix on the box looks like garbage, switched to the Netflix on my tv and it looks fantastic.

Its not my tv either, I have a 65" LG C2 and I have carefully and properly calibrated it.  Also, I had Telus before this and the picture quality (for cable) was 2nd to none.

Wll update after the tech makes his visit.

@Darren0306  Have you checked the picture settings with the box? If you have a wireless box, it could also be poor wifi. Picture on my BlueCure is awesome.

I was on the phone with a Shaw Guy today and we ran through some troubleshooting, to no avail.
