We moved in two months ago and got the new android tv box. Since day 1 it has not worked. When we try to log in it just says 'your account login has failed'. Tech support has been 'troubleshooting' and could not fix it despite reprovisioning the account services, removing and re-adding the account and the service, factory resetting the box, AND replacing the box. We have also tried logging in through apps and the phone etc. to no avail.
Back office could not fix it. Back office has now sent it to 'Opus', one of the other providers, for further investigation. Their response time is supposed to be 48h or less but they (Opus) are taking multiple days to respond.
The most recent was that there was a duplicate tickets and so NEITHER of them got worked on because the back office had requested a frontline agent to combine the two tickets... and nobody did. I called in to ask why the long delay (10 days or so) and the agent found this in the notes - if I hadn't called in nobody would ever have combined the tickets I suppose.
Has anyone else had this problem, and does anyone know how to fix it? It's getting a bit ridiculous.

Hi,
I seem to be having the same issues as you. I for some reason cannot login to any of my new Telus tv digital boxes (replacing my old 4K pvr and 4 wireless boxes). I keep being told there is a login error. Can’t even login to app or to telustvplus.com. Have spend ALL day on the phone trying to figure it all out. What did they finally do to help you? Thanks!

Hey, sorry to hear you're having trouble! In our case at least part of the problem was that our account had been reopened after being closed two years ago, and this caused a mismatch between the old service address and the current service address. So the wifi was associated with the wrong IP or something like that and therefore wouldn't let the TV authenticate.
Another part of the problem may have been that either our wall modem or Boost router tower (or both) were previously associated with other accounts and therefore they also weren't letting the TV authenticate.
Are you able to log in to any app when OFF wifi (on data, or on someone else's wifi)? If not, then it may actually be an account problem rather than what I described above.
If yes, then you may have the same problem I did and you should request 'specialist tech support' to call you (once again this is not the regular tech support that you can speak to by calling, nor is it the back office that they will escalate to). Maybe tag Kate and see if she can help. They sent a tech to replace both the wall modem and the Boost wifi tower, and even after that they had to reset the devices a couple times, AND 'release the IP address' (I assume that's layman's terms, not sure exactly what they actually did) of the modem multiple times to get it to work.
Hope that helps! good luck!
