Limited TV and U.S. Networks

[AndyK]

How can you add the U.S. major networks when you have the Limited TV package? Which theme pack contains them? They used to be included in Limited TV.

[mdk]

See Shaw's Comparison Chart to compare the list of channels included in each TV package.

[michaelstein]

They are included in Limited TV

ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, PBS from your nearest border location

[AndyK]

Shaw now lists only Total TV and Limited TV on the website. The PDF file for Total TV lists the Limited TV channels at the bottom. The major U.S. channels are not included. 

Could someone from Shaw tell me if this PDF is accurate. Have the channels been removed for new customers? And if so, is there an add-on theme pack that includes them?

[michaelstein]

Where is the PDF located for "Total TV"

[michaelstein · Accepted solution]

The PDF seems inaccurate. It is a National list, not defined to any specific area.

TV Plans  <- note. missing channels as noted above by the OP

This is the available channels included on "LImited TV"

Example. This is Vancouver channel list - as Seen the U.S. Networks are included

It is the most accurate channel listing for "Limited TV" in Vancouver on Shaw

Channel Numbers vary in other regions, rest assured the U.S. Networks are included nationwide

@AndyK --  The major U.S. channels are not included. 

What USA networks do you see, and what ones are "missing"?

As @michaelstein indicated, it depends on where you live. 

For example, if you live in the Greater Vancouver area, you get the US channels from Bellingham and Seattle and Tacoma.

Logon to My Shaw, and you can download a channel-list that is customized to your area & and your TV plan.

[rstra]

I noticed that too, must be a typo, I wouldn’t think Shaw would be dropping the major US networks.

[AndyK]

@mdk I can't find the comparison chart on Shaw's national web site. Is it accessible through one of the TV menus items?  

[rstra]

Click on the link in his message, the comparison chart is there. It lists the limited, small, medium and large packages, so it may be out of date.
