As an example, with Telus, I set the box so she could just push the “up” button and it would cycle back to the bottom of the channel list to go up again. With Shaw, she runs into the 200s and just keeps going, not knowing any better. I have to talk her through getting back to channel 2 every couple days.- NFtoBC3 years ago

Checked into months ago. No they don’t. The bill is $55/month for TV, which seems high. What I was told was the phone jack is single pair, and they’d have to open up the wall to make the Optik T3200 work. Don’t you need a bonded pair for Optik?
