Which raises questions about equipment. I have an Xbox 360, so reading this page it looks like I can use it as an HD receiver. However, it won't be able to record anything on to my Xbox. Does anyone know if that is correct? I can call Telus, just would trust what someone here said first.
Also, I believe the Optik High Speed is 15 mbps, and watching an HD feed uses 3 mbps. So assuming your peak you can actually pull 12 mbps, a 9 mbps connection isn't bad. Plus, I live alone, so I likely won't be downloading and watching TV at the same time.
I'll definitely call Shaw and see what they can do, but this deal from Telus is about 1/3 what I'd be paying Shaw for about the same service. |
The xbox needs to be connected by ethernet (not wireless) to the PVR on your network. You don't record to the xbox. However, it does need to be the xbox 360 with the 250gb drive. It won't work on the arcade version. All recordings go to the PVR. Your xbox accesses the recordings off the PVR and streams them over the network.
