Starchoice Ontario Extra Value Package - Channel listings
This is a package offered Door-to-Door ONLY. DO NOT PM or post rep contacts! The thread will be closed if this occurs.
For those who do have this package I think it is worthwhile to keep an up to date listing of the channels made available. Please PM and post with updated listings. I will see about updating the channels if there is interest.

I do subscribe to some extra packages so I can't be absolutely sure of the accuracy. I have tried to delete those extra ones from this list.
Note that some channels are omitted;
-like the French channels (sorry I do not keep a list of those),
-like Frame TV (channel 530) pretty pictures that display on the TV ??? (I have included the HD channel) i.e. Ones that I would not watch.
Also note that over time some channels are lost and gained. Like some Sports HD channels when they offered as an extra package. Channels like the sports STATS channel (481) I currently get, but it might be a promo or it might continue? I will every few months scan all the channels to see what is there.

The following may also alter the channel numbers you get (this is news to me as I am with the old 'classic' lineup).
http://www.starchoice.com/promotions...up/default.asp
If your channels start at channel 2 in the guide, then you have the Advanced Channel Lineup. If your channels start at channel 200, then you have the Classic Channel Lineup.
If you signed up with Shaw Direct on, or after September 14, 2009, then you should already be receiving the advanced lineup, with the exception of Digital Lite customers. Customers who signed up prior to this date and new Digital Lite customers can contact our Customer Care team to switch lineups.

It used to be only death and taxes were inevitable. Now, of course, there's shipping and handling, too.
