i would stay far far away from TelusTV, at least until they upgrade their entire network to ADSL2. and this isn't just because i work for Shaw, i have a few friends at work who are testing TelusTV on the company's dime to see how good it is. and let me just say that our corporate heads aren't worried at all

5-10 seconds to switch a channel, almost the same channel lineup as Shaw (and no center ice), max of 2 TV's supported, no HDTV, no PPV, and if you're watching TV your internet download speed is cut in half (and Telus will only install their TV service if you're also a phone and internet customer of theirs). hell even when they rollout ADSL2 i can't see them actually competing with Shaw, a twisted pair phoneline is just no match for a coax cable for bandwidth
