wireless digital box
I got a small 24” TV set for my exercise machine. It is our third TV for our house. I was thinking of getting a digital box from Telus. I haven’t done it since their sight said 40 minutes for the wai...
As far as I know the Wifi box receives the signal from the Modem not the PVR.
On the verification. At this age, I think every device has it's ID and it need to be initiated/registered with telus or it don't work. Maybe it's also connected to location (address/account) .
I too had to call the tech people, read in the number before they made the units work. These days they send out tech person needed or not.

TELUS Team MemberHi Shikyo , we don't usually recommend buying or selling boxes on FB marketplace due to privacy & security concerns. That said, if you do plan on purchasing anyway, you may want to look into the 4K models (you will need a breakout cable to connect to a RCA TV). In addition, if you are on Copper, you may need to call in to register the STB. 2 PVRs will technically work, but may have registration issues, especially on Copper as the system won't allow adding 2 PVRs to generate the registration codes, and the codes are unique to device type. hope that helps with your search.
Thank you Kate
I couldn’t understand everything you mentioned
On Copper, do you mean hardwired?
“2 PVRs will technically work “ I guess as Nighthawk mentioned PVR has to be connected with wire, so in my case having 2 PVRs wouldn’t be an easy solution. Am I right?
Thank you for your help in advance.
IF you have HDMI in on the TV , don't need the breakout cable.
Copper referring to copper wire to the house, as oppose to fiber optics. I think because of it's speed limitations. my guess.
