Looking for a Shaw Satellite TV receiver

One of my Shaw receivers is now outdated (January 21st) so I need another one.
I'm looking for what used to be called a 630 or 830. Looking at Shaw's website they don't have those listed anymore instead they have Gateway Portal and Gateway HDPVR. Which ones are equivalent to the 630 or 830?

Here is a listing from CP Electronics Guadalajara.




Details
The Shaw Direct Arris HD DSR800 advanced HDTV receiver delivers superior programming and convenient, interactive features. A simple but quality Hi-Def receiver at a good price.
List Price: MXN 7,000.00
Price: MXN 5,488.00

Thanks. It is quite expensive. They don't seem to sell the 830-just the 630 and 800.

Find someone coming down from Canada to bring you one? That receiver is $149.99 CAD. You can get the PVR DSR830 for $299.99 CAD.

….. plus tax!!

Was this recently? If not, I highly doubt they would send a receiver out of country any more. I believe they no longer knowingly allow any out of country viewing.

These guys will not ship to Mexico but will ship to the U.S. - and of course to Canada. I have had boxes shipped to the U.S. and brought them back in my luggage. You do pay shipping and duty to the U.S. but much cheaper than buying one here. I don't begrudge local dealers who import them charging whatever they feel is appropriate. But you can save some money.

Perhaps now that Shaw allows no viewing what so ever outside of Canada Kusat doesn't want to be involved in black market shenanigans?

I sure hope I am wrong. And that this is a temporary supply interruption, but that is not what the folks at Kusat told me last year

Pete I wish you would clarify your "The last time" statements, some of them are way back in the dark ages

Is the 830 much different than the 630?

Got one.
