Re: TELUS TV Feature Updates - Ongoing
I thought I would add my $0.02... Previously I lived in a rural location with Shaw Direct. I could go into a recording and set the time before and after to record a program. I could set football games to record 30 minutes after incase the game went into overtime. I realize that would be a bit of work to add to the Telus box but even if recordings start exactly 1 minute before and 1 minute after the show time would be a good temporary fix.3.6KViews0likes8CommentsScreen randomly goes blank
I have had Telus TV and Internet for a couple years now and the last few weeks the screen will go blank for 2 to 15 seconds during a show. Happens maybe 2 to 5 times a day. Has anyone else had this problem? And yes I have reset everything, done Internet speed checks and nothing helps.724Views1like2CommentsRe: Lack of dual remotes and universal remotes
I probably went overboard on the post but it is so frustrating. My wife uses a wheelchair to get into the living room then has to call me to find the remote. It would be very convenient if she had a remote on her end table all the time. We previously had Shaw Direct satellite which worked well but when we moved into this house it would have been difficult to run satellite cable throughout the house. So we got Telus TV. Answer to your question, ANY second remote would be great. I have tried remotes that claim they are compatible with Technicolor, VANTIVA and no luck. Even a voice controlled remote like Harmony or Broadlink would work. You mentioned that Telus probably doesn't have control over the manufacturer of the android box but Telus is buying thousands of the boxes so they should have some say on the boxes capabilities. Well once my contact is up I will see what options I have.1.8KViews0likes1CommentLack of dual remotes and universal remotes
Having a handicapped member of the family, it really upsets me there is no support for dual remotes or a more standard IR interface that allows for universal remotes. The Telus box uses the Technicolor remote codes which I have yet to find a universal remote that works with the Telus box. More upsetting is I have a programming background and see more standard IR interface routines on GitHub so it would be fairly simple for Telus to add a new IR interface routine to the Android box. I realize there were pressures on Telus's two programmers on this project to release the Telus TV box fast but considering the thousands of customers paying a lot of money for Telus TV that Telus would put more priority on making a stable working product and hire a few more programmers to make it happen.1.9KViews0likes3CommentsSherwood Park Fiber Installation
I am wondering how the installation of fiber that has just been installed on the street is going to be done to my house. From my understanding the fiber is being installed by another company and the fiber providers like Telus and Shaw will lease bandwidth on the fiber. Is that correct? Why I am asking is because I am a Telus customer and had a phone call from someone claiming they were from Shaw and argued with me that the only way to connect to the fiber in the neighborhood was to switch to Shaw. At that point I hung up on him. So will it be Telus contacting me or a contractor for home installation?Solved2.1KViews0likes1Comment
