I got a small 24” TV set for my exercise machine. It is our third TV for our house. I was thinking of getting a digital box from Telus. I haven’t done it since their sight said 40 minutes for the wai...

Hi Shikyo , we don't usually recommend buying or selling boxes on FB marketplace due to privacy & security concerns. That said, if you do plan on purchasing anyway, you may want to look into the 4K models (you will need a breakout cable to connect to a RCA TV). In addition, if you are on Copper, you may need to call in to register the STB. 2 PVRs will technically work, but may have registration issues, especially on Copper as the system won't allow adding 2 PVRs to generate the registration codes, and the codes are unique to device type. hope that helps with your search.

Thank you both of you for your inputs
I have been studying about wireless digital box and found there seem to be no verification process with Telus
for adding a digital box and another TV to an existing account. I will keep studying this further.
I still want to know is the PVR box is capable of receiving Wifi signals when the PVR was used as a digital box. Our PVR is hard wired and the 2nd TV set is wirelessly connected. I am wondering the PVR is capable of sending wifi signals however, it is incapable of wireless receiving signals.
If someone could verify this, I would appreciate. Thank you.

3 years agoPVRs are hardwired only. You would need a wireless set top box. The reason you may not notice a verification process is that when you order a box from Telus and/or an installer puts a new box or service in at your home, the box is already registered with Telus and your account. You would have to talk to someone at Telus directly to register an additional box if you happen to buy it second hand.
