While releasing its latest financial results, Shaw Communications confirmed today that it expects its Direct-to-Home satellite service, Shaw Direct, to have a third satellite in space by November 2012.
Anik G1 will join Anik F1 and F2 which have been used to beam Shaw Direct signals to consumers since April 2001. Anik G1 will increase Shaw Direct's satellite capacity by 30%.
In order to make use of the the new satellite in space, Shaw has recently been working on a new 60 cm triple look xku LNBF satellite dish capable of supporting signals from Anik G1.
The new outdoor equipment will start to be deployed in customer satellite dishes during the fourth quarter.
