Old Optik TV vs New - Which is better?
So my grandpa is currently with Shaw and is paying a very ridiculous price for TV + internet with them, so I am shopping for some better plans for them. So far Telus has a better price plus he already has home phone and mobility with them, so I was thinking of getting him to switch over. The big issue is wether or not the new Optik TV system is worth it. Should we just go for the new system or instead ask if Telus can instead instal the old Optik TV system? Cause Ive been hearing problems with the new system such as worse picture quality and other issues, and unfortunately no one else in the family currently has the new system to try out for ourselves. Plus my grandparents mostly watch and record live TV and I doubt they watch streaming services that much, so the lack of streaming apps on the old system shouldn't be too much of an issue for them.

Be careful. As others have said;
Be aware of the "package model" if there are specific channels @ Shaw that you want in TELUS make sure you add all the right bundles. IF just basic TV then no problem, but adding all the premium channels may result in adding multiple bundles to bring up the price.
IMHO - the "box" and user interface is definitely NOT senior friendly... -yet..
The Telus system is totally different, the remote, the buttons, the guide, the channel numbers, the on screen guides, everything is new and different! I personally would NEVER put this in front of my 90 year old dad, he could never handle the transition.
