It's definitely interesting, and as NFtoBC mentioned, historically using any non TELUS issued equipment or adjusting the network configuration (in this case with the TP-Link access point) would cause issues with Optik TV functionality... Though in terms of specifics as to the "why" of it... I honestly have no idea. It might be worthwhile to call up their tech support team in case they know or have work arounds!
