Remote Controls

There are two categories of Shaw Direct (Star Choice) receivers :

Infra-red only remotes

• Model DSR600, DSR800

These receivers are compatible with a standard infra-red remote control.

IR/UHF receivers

• DSR630, DSR830

These receivers are compatible with a UHD/infra-red remote control.

Second dish kit / Cottage dish kit

If you currently own a Shaw Direct satellite system, a cottage dish kit will allow you to keep watching satellite television at your cottage (Home away from Home).

If you only have a 24inch or 30inch satellite dish not capable of dual-satellite reception, this kit will allow you to receiver 107.3°W and 111.1°W.

The Shaw Direct elliptical dish kit comes in 2 sizes: 60cm/24inch and 75cm/30inch.

• The 24inch kit is elliptical and measures 28" x 18" (approx.).
• The 30inch kit is elliptical and measures 35" x 28" (approx.).

Both kits come with a Quad Output LNBF. The Quad output LNBF eliminates the need for splitters and switches for up to 4 receivers! If features 4 switched outputs, independent from one another.

a 75cm elliptical dish with the new xKu Quad LNBF.

If your Quad LNBF has melted under the hot summer sun, you can also get a spare Quad LNBF for your dish. Please note we only stock Shaw's new xKu LNBF which requires a different network code than the standard Quad LNBF (now discontinued).

Finally, if you are using 2 separate dishes instead of a Shaw Direct Quad LNBF dish for your Anik F1 and Anik F2 reception, you can get a 22KHz switch to combine both signals into one cable (the receiver will actually use the switch to go to one dish or the other).

Distribution to more than 4 receivers

If you need to have more than 4 Shaw Direct receivers connected to a Quad Output LNBF, you must use a 4-in and 8-out multiswitch with power supply such as the S-4180-GX+.

This switch has the following inputs

• 2 inputs for 107.3°W (13V/18V)
• 2 inputs for 111.1°W (13V+22KHz/18V+22KHz)
• 1 input for Off-air or cable television

All 4 satellite inputs must be connected to the Quad LNBF (it does not matter which input goes into which output on the LNBF) otherwise you will be missing channels!

A diplexer must be used to split the off-air/cable signal from the satellite signal (to feed it to a TV or cable box) if it is combined with the satellite signal at the switch.

This switch requires power - fed via a coaxial cable (not supplied) and a power supply (included).

If you require more than 8 outputs, you can stack more than one 8 way switch using four high-frequency splitters to split each line coming from your LNBF or you can a 16-way switch.
