Well, yes and no.

The big thing is the hardware that Telus has chosen to use. I'm guessing it's the cheapest that was available. My parents used to have MTS TV in Winnipeg, and they used Motorola boxes that looked like Shaw's 2XXX boxes. You would have 1 box somewhere in the house, and then output via coax to other TVs; I think a total of 3 TVs could use 1 box. Each TV had to use it's own remote; which was UHF.
