KHR  Is this the box Telus is using for the new service? https://www.commscope.com/product-type/broadband-video-devices/video-devices/set-tops/video-devices-for-android-tv/vip7802/

    I believe it's a custom version of a Technicolor box.

Telus is not using Arris for the new set top box.

      Correct - it's the Technicolor (now Vantiva) Jade set-top box.

       

      It's not a stretch to estimate that how many legacy Optik set-top boxes/PVRs might be out there is in the millions. From the 2022 Q4 quarterly report: "TV subscriber base increased by 4.7 per cent to more than 1.3 million customers". Multiply that by the average numbers of TVs in a household...

        If your setup now is one pvr and one regular wireless box, will the new setup be two of the Technicolor boxes?
