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.

TELUS Team MemberIt's up to the individual on how they want to be set up. You could have 2 Sony TVs, 2 Apple TVs, 2 TELUS TV Digital Boxes etc. or any combination thereof. Certain functionality is only available on the set-top box (universal search across multiple apps, for example), but all recordings are cloud-based, so equipment can be optional. I believe 1 set-top box is included for most Optik TV combos, but it depends on your exact combo, whether you're on a service agreement, etc.
With the setup above Apple TV,Sony tv, would using those devices count against your internet usage when using TV+?
Maybe this is the reason Telus internet is required for the new boxes.

I would expect that TV streams to your home IP address would be zero-rated. if you take these devices to a different location, then you would be billed for internet usage if your account is not unlimited.
