4 TopicsInstallation and Wi-Fi Plus and TV
Hi All, I am not a Telus customer yet but am considering switching from Bell Fibe to PureFibre 1.5 with Wi-Fi Plus. The sales folks were not able to answer all of my questions. With Bell, fibre enters my house in the basement where the router is located and I have an ethernet cable run to a Bell Wi-Fi extender on the first floor. The extender has a TV "base station" connected to it by ethernet to support the wireless Fibe TV box on the first floor. There is another Bell Wi-Fi extender on the second floor. Would a Telus installation follow the same layout? If not, what would a Telus installation look like? Bonus question: The sales rep told me that channels in the 38 "core" TV channels can be swapped out. I can't see anything in writing and have my doubts. Can anyone confirm or deny? Thanks in advance.15Views0likes0CommentsNew Telus TV+ Cable Box User Interface Feedback
Say first you want to watch something on the PVR You have to hit Home>Right arrow>Right arrow>Right arrow>Enter Then Down>Down>Down> however many times to find your recorded show (it sorts newest first so that's fine at this point) BUT THEN since you have no way to change the episode list of your favorite show as "oldest first" (without changing the recording show titles as well) You must Down Arrow>Down Arrow>Down Arrow>Down Arrow>Down Arrow> however many episodes to get to your first unwatched episode (typicall at the very bottom of the list) REDICULOUS!! But it's even more ridiculous when you're finished watching your show as there's NO EMBEDDED DELETE FUNCTION So when finished you have to hit OK, then Home>Right arrow>Right arrow>Right arrow>Enter into PVR Down>Down>Down> however many times to find your show ENTER, then Down>Down>Down> however many times to find your recording then OK when you finally given the choice to DELETE You hit DELETE then again "DELETE RECORDING So after watching a PVR show you must to hit at least FOURTEEN Remote keypresses just to delete the show you just finished watching. Can't this piece of garbage show a delete button right after you hit OK? Cant it offer a delete function when you reach the end of a recording? REDICULOUS This remote and user interface is the most inept that I've ever seen! <rant over>Solved214Views0likes3CommentsMy Favorite Channels and Recording Settings?
With respect to Optik TV+ 21T boxes, the persistent issues with My Favorites and Recording Settings/Options are in their 2nd year. Is it asking too much: Telus, if you are reading this, are there any resolutions in the works? If so, any updates or ETA? Is cable TV still part of your mission? Last I checked it's still a line item on my monthly Home/Internet Services bill. Cable TV appears to have taken a back seat, or perhaps not even seated next, to Streaming and OnDemand services. Not looking for Amazon Fire Stick just a Telus Glow Stick would suffice for now. A non-complicated, unencumbered TV viewing experience is not a lot to ask; considering, we are committed to 2yr plans for just that!2.4KViews1like4Comments
