This is a C&P from one of our installer forums and I thought a few of you may find it interesting or helpful..
The Classic map is our main one, the Advance was only used for about 1 year before they switched back to the classic.
Cheers.
I thought i would post this list if you don't have a copy of it already. I had printed this for a newbie installer so you probably know most of it but i'm sure you often run into a v-code that is unfamiliar so this will be a handy list to have.
These are the v-codes you will find in your receiver depending on the following setups.
If you still have one of the very old round dishes it will be KU, either stacked or non stacked but only picks up one of the satellites either f1 or f2. The earliest elliptical dishes had dual lnbs on them and could be either stacked or non stacked. New ellipticals will be triple satellite XKU.
The next variation is the model of receiver. If your model starts with a 6 it is capable of receiving mpeg4 channels which are mostly on the g1 satellite. All other models such as 505 or 319 are non mpeg4 receivers.
One more variation is the type of programming. The v-code will load a channel map that will make your guide only show channels that you subscribe to, or are only available in the east or west or nationally.
There are some codes here only used for test purposes so you may never see these in your receiver.

not shown are the v-codes you might see after a factory reset has been done on your receiver. If you have a red light on the receiver you might have to put it on a specific channel to get a signal so that shaw can send the signal to your receiver to get the code changed to one of the above codes. Typical channel numbers are 250, 252, 284, 299, 350, 700. As long as you get a green light on one of these channels they should be able to send your receiver a signal refresh.
The Classic map is our main one, the Advance was only used for about 1 year before they switched back to the classic.
