@bostonbob -- I guess SHAW decided not to make them available

Do you have the Shaw Gateway PVR, or the BlueCurve.  They have different channel availability. (BlueCurve has one add-on channel for "motor racing sports" that is not available on the Gateway.)

I have the Gateway system but that should not matter when it comes to free previews for channels ( Rewind and Silver Screen Classics ) that are accessible with any system.

The CTV Specialty Channels ( CTV Comedy, CTV Sci-Fi, CTV Drama and CTV Life ) are on a National Free Preview from December 22nd to January 5th. SHAW is not mentioned specifically as one of the television providers having this free preview:

The CTV Specialty freeview is available through participating television service providers across the country, including but not limited to Bell, Bell Aliant, BellMTS, Cogeco, Eastlink, Rogers, SaskTel, Telus, and participating members of the CCSA. In addition, subscribers and non-subscribers alike can sample select programming during the freeview period online through the CTV hub, via CTV.ca, the CTV app, and on demand via set-top box with participating TV providers.

( SIGH ) Sometimes the way SHAW does things so completely a**backwards it makes you either want to laugh or smack your head against a wall a few times. Anyway - I just noticed that SHAW has finally added the free previews for both Rewind and Silver Screen Classics. Nice job SHAW - only 19 days late. 😡

SHAW has finally updated their " News and Free Previews " page to included all the free previews for December:

The free preview for the W Network has been extended to January 31st - 2021. No word yet from SHAW if they will be extending this free preview or ending it on the 13th.

A few notes:

- Rewind has been removed although it is still coming in for me. I'm guessing it will be available until January 15th just like Silver Screen Classics.
- Musimax ( December 17th to January 8th ) is listed but I don't see it anywhere on my channel list. Maybe it's coming soon as it is listed as " the new channel for movie and television series aficionados." Of course this might be a BlueCurve exclusive or maybe even just for SHAW Direct.
