Cloud PVR equipment
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.

New Digital TV Box & Cloud PVR - Optik TV Hardware | TELUS
I believe it's the same box that recent Pik TV customers are using:
Telus Pik TV Media Box (V2) - Android TV Guide (androidtv-guide.com)
Differences in services will be implemented in software.
thought Telus would be using the same equipment as Bell. If it’s the same box as for Pik tv there shouldn’t be supply issues.
- There’s no telecom in western Canada that offers unlimited hours of recordings with 1-yr expiry like videotron afaik and Bell probably has already got a fierce competition in Greater Montreal cause Videotron is everywhere and has a stronger French focus, so they can’t cut back any existing iconic feature like the 1-yr expiry, the 320hr limit and 1.5hr buffer.

Considering how many Optik boxes are out there in use currently, they'll likely need a few milion of the new boxes. That sheer number will take time to get out.
A few million. Does Telus actually have three million Optik boxes out there?
