If you have multiple TV's, 3 or more, I'd go with satellite. TELUS/Bell are the same service so if you have TELUS home phone or internet go with them. If not Bell is the main carrier and ya, might as well go with them. I guess. I dunno.
Shaw is good in so far that they have fast internet but to me their TV is only good if you have 3 or more TV sets and can't get satellite. Too many glitches and little bugs.
If you and your housemate each want a separate PVR that are private, dont go with TELUS. If you don't care if you watch each others shows, then optik is very interesting in that way.

Thanks for the reply.
As it is now I'm with Bell. So to get another PVR would be a few hundred. Then we'd have two PVR's and have to have schedules on both TVs. So to suddenly trade TV watching areas if I said "your show is annoying, go upstairs" and she didn't have it recorded upstairs we're hooped.
What it seems the Shaw as, and from your reply Telus too, is the ability to watch TV anywhere that's been recorded on one box.
That sounds vastly superior to ANYTHING I saw on the Bell site (or that I have with Bell).
Not to mention with Shaw the cost of buying the box and two remote or other boxes plus my current internet is the same on a month by month basis as my current internet plus my Bell package that includes no hardware (I bought it two years ago).
Thanks
