I live in a new apartment building and renters cannot make any changes to the buildings infrastructure. The in-house television system is very poor and I would like more options for TV. I was wondering what the rquirements are to get Optik installed and what all the Telus installer has to do?

If you already have Telus internet, the gateway would be plugged into a phone outlet. Your TV boxes can then either be connected to it by ethernet cable or by a $100 5Ghz wireless access point that is used only for the wireless TV box.
If your phone outlet is not by the TV(doorways in the path of running an ethernet cable), depending on the phone line wiring, the phone outlet used for the Telus gateway could be wired to another outlet to avoid using/buying a VEN501 access point.
Its a toss up on configurations in the residence for what is easy or hard for TV service.
