Default Telus turns Xbox360 into PVR client

http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/t...ian-xbox-360s/

Anyone with Optik (myself included) know how to turn this on? I am at work, so I don't imagine I can simply go home, turn on my 360 and boom have TV?! There must be a download?

lol, probably never. I think they have those names licensed so they can use it in the training material.

Looking at the TELUS website it looks like there is an extra 5 dollar a month charge to use the 360 as a set top box. The fine print also mentions that a tech will have to be sent out and that there is a $100 fee. This might only apply to a service call for an extra physical box though.

Wow!

Sucks that I'm not eligible for Optik in my condo, this would actually be worth a consideration otherwise.

On another hand though, I'm not that surprised. TELUS was extremely quick to jump on the advertising bandwagon with Microsoft when they did those two seasons of 1 vs 100. I thought 'good on them for embracing new mediums and taking advantage of the adspace.'

You might want to try a retention call.
