I am excited and once/if it does get installed I will let you guys know how it is!

So far I love the service. The interface is slick. Picture quality is great. PVR anywhere and 2HD + 1 SD streams at a time are quite appreciated given that this is season premiere time. The internet speed is lower than Shaw and does depend on how many active streams you have running on the TV. For me this is not a big deal but for others it will be a deal breaker. My parents have Shaw and the difference between the two boxes is like night and day. Optik TV is fast, slick and easy to use. Their Shaw digital box service looks and operates like it was lifted from the color scheme of the old Channel 4 Broadcast news from 1985. The picture quality is just as good but I find the Optik service to be better overall.
Be sure to register for the remote recording. You can access your guide, set up recordings and manage recorded shows from any PC or an Apple iDevice. It does not sound like that big of a deal. However I guarantee you that it will come in handy when you forget to set up that Flames game/movie/documentary that you wanted to watch.
