With Shaw BlueSky TV, customers have access to all of their favourite content in one place including live programming, PVR recordings, on-demand shows, and TV Everywhere services.

The revolutionary feature of Shaw BlueSky TV is its next generation voice-activated search functionality. Using intuitive voice commands, users can search for content by actor, genre or famous movie quote, or simply ask "what's trending" to activate Shaw BlueSky TV's database of popular selections. The days of aimlessly scrolling through channels are in the past.

Parents will love the KidsZone, which features age-appropriate content, easy-to-use parental controls, and program descriptions written by parents for parents to help provide peace-of-mind when little ones are using the voice remote and browsing.

Sports fans will never miss a goal, touchdown, run, stat, or score with the customizable BlueSky TV sports experience. Shaw BlueSky TV's built-in sports app gets the sports fan closer to the action with the ability to set and record games of their favourite teams, get robust standings, in-game player stats, and next-generation playback that highlights important plays.
