Shaw Direct Satellite TV Service FAQs

What is Satellite TV service?

Satellite TV is a television service that requires transmission to be broadcast from a satellite to a set-top box unit. Television through satellite uses relayed signals from a Satellite in space to a Shaw Direct set-top box to provide TV services throughout Canada.
