I am also on Shaw (Starchoice) with a DSR 505, and I have no problems
recording Oasis HD with the HD-PVR.

I have noticed, however, that trying to record channels I am not subscribed
to generally result in my HD-PVR going bananas.  Not only do I get
"Recording not available" from the Watch Recording menu, but I have to
schedule a new recording on a known good channel before I can even "Watch
TV" again.

Either that, or reboot, enter MythTV-setup, and set "default starting
channel" in the menus to a known good channel.

It must have something to do with the DSR505 not emitting a clean composite
signal when the channel is not subscribed to.
