But if I hit guide or menu I can get the tv to work including on demand and PVR. It seems like the box is being stubborn and I will try to play with the connection tonight to see if I can route it differently to make it happy. If I can't get it to work though I think I will cancel the TV service before I go back to the slower internet.

I dread tech support as I am pretty sure they will just blame the router
What I ended up doing with my system is as follows:
Use the Telus Optik Modem for the TV's and branch off the Internet line to the new good router. This makes it so the TV's function for the most part and the internet the way it should as well. Maybe this will work for you too?
