In order to de-clutter the Channel Discussion threads from previous years, only post here if a new channel announcement or old channel deletion has been:

1. Posted on the Shaw's website, Facebook page or Twitter feed or on their forums.
2. Been announced through a Press release.
3. Shows up on the dial.
4. Or if a statement is issued on your cable bill.

All commenting and discussions need to be made in the Shaw Direct Channel Discussion Thread:

Not following the rules will result in your post being deleted... not moved.

ici artv HD on channel 421-advanced, ??-classic

Cartoon Network HD on channel 577-advanced, 077-classic

and a 4th channel which I cannot find. According to my status screen my channel count went from 759 yesterday to 763 today so maybe they added another barker channel or PPV channel.

Armchair Tourist on channel 979

Armchair Tourist is currently on channel 979, which was previously airing the Fire Log Channel. I just noticed it in the past hour. Hopefully Shaw Direct will continue airing this service.

You can also view it online: ArmchairTourist: travel HD video | HD wallpaper video for your television and you can watch it on Hulu, Apple TV (airplay) and Chromecast. It's also on Youtube.

You will have to watch it online, now, because it has disappeared from the Shaw Direct line-up.
