Sure its a money thing. Directv is not sold in Canada and And Shaw,etc is not sold in the States. There are mega $$ involved here. No different than the RV thing. Mention that you are in A Rv and DTV will tell you need special wavers, etc. The are protective of their own territory. Both DTV and Shaw will provide service to their respective travelling public as long as it is their prospective countries. If you ask the question of both they will tell you it is illegal. The solution is to not have asked the question but do the homework. We live just across the lake from Canada and have been taking our directv with us on every trip we make and never a issue as long as we could see the birds. The more questions we ask the more restrict ions they will place. Back in the day we could turn our TV antenna and pick up Canada TV. Illegal I am sure. Nobody pressed the point.
