After connecting your satellite receiver, it will boot up and the setup wizard will help optimize your experience:
Select whether you would like your on-screen menus to be displayed in English or French.
Pick the option that most closely matches your TV to optimize your on-screen readability. Selecting “SDTV (CRT)” will set the font to the largest size and remove channel logos. “HDTV Small” will set a comfortable medium sized font. “HDTV Large” features an extra 2 rows of Guide data and smaller text.
It’s recommended to connect your DSR to your home wireless (WiFi) network to take advantage of all the features available with your Shaw Direct subscription (details regarding on-demand services can be found in Section 9). You’ll need your network name (SSID) and password, if applicable. Once connected, press C to return to the setup wizard.
Your DSR will perform a scan to identify the type of external equipment connected on your satellite dish.
The Menu Bar is your portal to all the great features available on your Shaw Direct HD receiver. Many tools and menus found here can also be accessed directly by using the appropriate key on your remote control. The Menu Bar can be accessed by pressing MENU on your remote control. From live TV, pressing A will also bring up the Menu Bar. The Men...
One of the greatest features of your Shaw Direct digital satellite TV is the interactive on-screen Guide. With the Guide, you can instantly see what’s airing right now and into the future, on every channel you subscribe to. When accessed, the Guide will appear with the channel you’re watching highlighted. You can browse the on-screen Guide while w...
C “Upcoming Airings” will provide you with a list of all channels and times the program you’ve highlighted will be airing. Channels on free preview will automatically appear in your Guide when available, and return to grey when the free preview has ended. Gold highlights are used to denote Free Preview channels.
All listings in the Guide and Search Results are colour-coded to help you find what you’re looking for faster. When you select a program, broadcasting symbols help you understand more about it, such as the parental rating, whether it is presented in high definition, or if it is a new episode.
Current Selection: The program or menu item currently selected is always shown in white.
The following symbols are used to tell you about each program: All program information is provided by the broadcaster.
There are 6 different guide views you can choose depending on your needs. Change the amount of channels you see on one page, the font size (which will apply to all on-screen text) and how you see program genre colouring. Change your preference by pressing OPTIONS and selecting “Preferences.” The following User Settings & Appearance options will be ...
With hundreds of channels and up to two weeks of programming information, sometimes it can be difficult to find what you’re looking for using the Guide. By using the search tools built into your receiver, you can easily find programs airing on live TV by keyword, interests, or category.
Keyword Search allows you to search for programs or movies based on the title, information description or cast member. Matching titles will be displayed on the left side of the screen, along with where your text was found. Matches can be made on Program Title, Program Description, Program Cast, or Episode Title. Press MENU on your remote, select...
Interests Search is useful when you’re not looking for a specific show, don’t know the title of the show you’re looking for, or just want to find a particular genre to watch or record. Similar to Keyword Search, as you select the time, category, and genre you are looking for, results will narrow or expand on the right side of the screen. After s...
Category Search allows you to search for something to watch based on popular categories. Results will include currently airing programs (plus programs which start in the next six hours) from channels you subscribe to. Unlike Keyword and Interests Search, results are not “folded” together by program – you will see an individual entry for each chan...
Expanded Information for most programs is available by pressing the INFO button on the remote control to page through the description. The number of pages of information is indicated on the bottom right side of the info window. While watching full-screen video (such as live TV, a previously recorded program, or an on-demand selection), you can ...
If available, the following information will be shown for regular programming. Note that not all broadcasters send the same amount of information, so it is normal for certain programs to have more or less information than others. All pages show the program name; the date and time it airs/aired; the channel name and number the program airs/aired on;...

Press GO BAC...
