Here is part of what was said.
My understanding is this:
1. As of June 1,2013 shaw will not sell or service equipment in USA
2. Footprint for AnikF1 and F2 will still cover USA and Mexico.
3. Anyone with a home account using older LNB and 500 series or older receivers will be able to receive the signal in southern USA or Mexico. You WILL NOt be able to receive new channels from AnikG! as in Canada.
