It's funny how the OG modder literally gave exact instructions on how to mod the apk and everyone is still here months later asking if anyone has made an updated file yet... lol.

So, I've gone ahead and modded the latest BlueCurve apk for my Canadian friends. I've tested this working on both a MiBox and the new Chromecast running TV OS.

If you're using the new Chromecast I recommend running SendFilesToTV to send the new APK to your Chromecast. This can be downloaded from the play store on both the TV and your phone. I'd also recommend using a power delivery USB type C hub with a USB 3.0 stick formatted for system storage as you will run out.

You will need a file explorer to install the apk files. Use whatever one you'd like (Except ES, it sucks).

If you don't have a browser installed, you'll need one for authenticating your Bluecurve TV APK. The MiBox should work with the inbuilt browser, however for the Chromecast you'll need to install a browser for the app to work. I initially tried Firefox for TV and it did not work. I then Tried TV Bro and it worked like a charm.

Instructions:

  1. Install the modded Bluecurve APK from HERE do not open.
  2. Install the Leanback shortcut APK from HERE do not open.
  3. (If using Chromecast or Android TV OS device) Install TV Bro HERE (Official Github Repo)
  4. Open TV Bro, press OK and exit the app.
  5. Find the Bluecurve TV app now displayed in your app drawer, open it and go to "Sign In".
  6. TV Bro will open and give you the authentication webpage. I recommend using the Android TV Remote app to use your phones keyboard to easily enter your Shaw credentials, however TV Bro is built with an air-mouse so you can use the system keyboard if you'd like.
  7. Once you enter your credentials, login. TV Bro will go to a new page and exit and you will be greeted with a Shaw logo and a loading circle. After that you may use the Bluecurve TV app.
Notes:

Some channels require home network, I haven't explored this APK enough to start fussing with other restrictions.

VOD, Movies, TV Shows, Networks all seem to work just fine.

The app can be navigated easily with a remote. I see no need for a USB keyboard/mouse remote that some have suggested.

See screenshots attached of the latest build (6.4.1.001 as of this post) working just fine on my new Chromecast as well as the app shortcut.

**UPDATE - XDA member confirmed working on FireTV Stick

Enjoy!
