I have the Telus Telustv-21t box, which is the Android box which some tech support staff said should work with Xbox. Can you confirm that this box is Xbox compatible?

That would extend to the TelusTV-21T set top boxes as well. Microsoft has not released an Xbox app for the AndroidTV platform yet. As per Microsoft's website, the only supported smart devices are 2021 and 2022 Samsung TVs. Another page on their site outlines supported ways to access the service. For Android it mentions standard Android not AndroidTV. Chrome / Edge / Explorer aren't available on AndroidTV either so loading Xbox.com through a supported browser also would not be possible.
