maggiesmom Posted July 14, 2013 Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 I have one opening on my account if anyone is interested. Please PM me. Thanks What, exactly do you mean you have an opening on your account? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Saltos Posted July 14, 2013 Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 I really wish the people who offer practice this illegal activity would be more discreet. You put the rest of us at risk. Shaw DOES NOT ALLOW you to put other people on your account. It's innapropriate to draw attention to yourself and others here that do it. If you are caught you will lose all of your equipment, possibly worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viajero-Tiempo Posted July 14, 2013 Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 Surely the poster knows what it is, but just in case... It is theft of money that Shaw might otherwise collect from another subscriber. The add-on subscriber is buying stolen services. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Saltos Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 It's theft of intellectual property and violates the terms of service agreement between the subscriber and Shaw. The bigger problem occurs when Shaw gets wind of one of these stacked accounts they start investigating other accounts here which results in needless hassle for the rest of us who are playing by the rules.

Floradude Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 Shaw cannot collect from another subscriber unless they are Canadian. So ethics aside I don't see how Shaw loses any money. I would be happy to subscribe to Shaw but they would not let me so I am one of those people who tag on with another subscriber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out1 Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 Theft is theft whether you have an excuse or not; shutting down the few thousand accounts here at Lakeside isn't going to bankrupt Shaw. Many of us Canadians will be very unhappy if the service gets terminated because of the account stacking; so please stop discussing it in the open domain.

ComputerGuy Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 Shaw will not be shutting down any accounts because someone else is stacking. Period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not difficult. Contact any of the local satellite TV service companies and they can accomodate you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EX-PAT2011 Posted July 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 that is true, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giltner68 Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 True, I've been on Shaw for 3 years, only been to Canada once in my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Saltos Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 It's easy to have your own Shaw account, billed directly to your credit card. Ask any of the local Satellite services companies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FHBOY Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 If you need a referral to get a Shaw account, you can email me. I brought the equipment with me when I moved here, had it installed by a local company and am getting Shaw. My credit card is charged every month by the Canadian company that set up my account and sold me the legit equipment I brought down. I have no comment on those "stacking".

johanson Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 You can pay with a US credit card, I know several who have for years, especially if the address associated with that US credit card is close to the satellite receiver and dish (summer cottage, for example) in Canada. Our cottage on Vancouver Island is quite close to those of us in Hongcouver, (used to be called Vancouver) and Seattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
