Shaw Direct Compatibility

[logowatchman]

I live in Canada and have Shaw Direct (formerly Star Choice) as my home satellite provider. I do most of my RV travelling in the US and take along a Shaw Direct dish with tripod. Its a pain to set up and zero in. I would prefer to install the Winegard crank-up DM-RM46 on my RV but can't find a Shaw Direct compatible version of this system. Is this particular model available with the capability to receive Shaw Direct? I know the Travl'ler and Carry Out are compatible but I prefer the DM-RM46 as it is mountable but less expensive than the Travl'ler.

Thanks

Good Morning,

Unfornatley the RM-DM46 will not see the Shaw Direct satellite, however we do have the Carry out portable strictly for Shaw Direct. The model number is GM-0700. If you have any further questions please call our Customer Support at 1-800-288-8094.

Looking at the documentations for the GM-0700 it specifically says that it is for use in Canada only. Is this a limitation of the hardware(elevation)

petrie,

The Shaw Direct Carryout GM-0700 is designed for use in Canada. There may be certain locations within the northern United States where signal is available, but the antenna is intended to be used in Canada alone.
