At some point in the past, I had requested an additional set top box and they sent me a "new" one, a TELUSTV-21T. I did some research and discovered the coming wholesale change from old to new Optik TV hardware. At the time I just left the new box on the shelf and decided to wait for the real rollout of the new system (to existing customers--still waiting ...)
Anyway, a few days ago I called about something and my contract was nearing its end so we also dealt with that and I pointed out that I had a mix of equipment and shouldn't we move forward? I thought I was promised all new equipment was on its way so I could get rid of the old.
What I received were three different boxes:
- a TELUSTV-21T (Digital Box)
- a UIW4001 (technicolor 4K Wireless Digital Box and with a label "Migration Kit" on the box and NO Remote!)
- a UIW8001 (technicolor 4K PVR and with a label "Migration Kit" on the box and NO Remote!)
Curiously the latter two are different from my Cisco/Arris gear which is definitely "OLD" and uses local storage.
Can anyone here confirm that the TELUSTV-21T is part of the "new cloud" system and cannot be used with any of the other Telus Optik TV equipment? (Arris, Cisco, technicolor, ?)
Also, if an apple TV box can entirely replace the TELUSTV-21T in terms of functions then I only need them for TVs with no apple TV box, right?
Thanks.
