Suggestions for improvement
Switched recently but passed 30days so I am commited at this point. Will be saving considerable money compared to Shaw. My concerns echo a lot of the folks here, but am starting to get used to it. ...

Community Power UserThe skip forward/rewind feature is disabled by broadcasters of the channels, TELUS has to abide by the right holders request. The PVR is not meant to be a permanent way to store all recordings indefinitely and forever. The guide does label shows as "NEW". I believe added record times was suggested in ideas at one point.
The software keeps getting revised and updated, perhaps things will roll out in future updates if on the roadmap.
- Thanks for the info. I am not expecting to keep things on the pvr forever, but you should be able to save them for longer than 45days, much longer. In terms of going from a local hard drive to cloud based, this is a step backwards in versitility for the customer. No one was being charged extra to save things to their own storage before, only to be nuked before a couple of months have passed.
Now that you mention it I realize, I have seen the NEW header for some new episodes but it sure isnt consistant with some of the programs that have failed to record for me.
I have also witnessed recordings delete themselves spontaniusly, before 45days. That one may have been due to a bug because I tried adjusting series recording options and poof went an episode.
Like I said, good tech and picture but vast improvements and flexibility are needed for this to be successful long term.
It sure good that Telus has a good range of previous episodes on demand because without that, there would be no reason for anyone to choose telus for their tv.
Big bummer to hear about locking tracking on previous programs. They go to on demand with less commercials and the ability to skip, what's the difference ?
