You guys know how to access my iTunes library from my Macbook via the Xbox360 over the Telus optik system? The Xbox is connected to the modem/router using an ethernet cable but the Macbook is connected to the modem/router on a wireless connection.

I searched all over the interwebs and cannot find a solution, I don't want to burn CD's onto the Xbox hard drive or connect the Macbook to the Xbox with a cable.

There's gotta be a way right? I used to be able to use Connect 360 when I had just a Shaw modem plugged into Airport Extreme base station.

Interesting....when I click on that link and enter my information it says I can watch up to 3 HD live programs in my area. But I assure you I can only watch 1, better get on the phone and see what's going on. I would LOVE to be able to get multiple HD feeds at once.

They may have been some upgrades in your area... Let us know what they say!

A question for those who had the services installed. Did you have only one tech come out to install TV/Internet/Home phone? My dad was suppose to have all 3 done today, but only the phone guy came out. Now my dad is on the phone and the rep on the phone can't even tell him if someone is going to come out today or another day to finish the rest of the install.

The install time was scheduled for 8-10am, so needless to say my dad is pretty PO'd.

I don't have the phone service, but I only had one guy show up to install tv and internet.

That's crap. I had one guy show up to install phone, internet, and TV service (on 3 TV's). It took about 2 - 2.5 hours.

it can depend tho, if they are installing in a condo or an area with certain fibre, a seperate tv tech is required.

Where are you getting your info?? what is this certain fibre you are talking about?

They usually send 1 guy to do everything... perhaps the order was messed and couldnt be completed. If you want I can look up the curcuit number and see whats going on with it.

theonlywhiteout · 02-07-2011, 03:23 PM

If someones getting a GPON installation, and the GPON part of the order can't be fulfilled for any reason, the copper telephone installation can sometimes still be done. Telephone techs are not tv trained, but, I assumed you would know this

PsnaP · 02-07-2011, 03:25 PM

If it is a GPON order in a GPON area... then a GPON tech will get dispatched. GPON areas are sans copper.

Not all of them. At all. Many areas are upgraded to GPON and still have copper paths.

I sent you a PM.

This is for a single detached home.

You are correct, most homes are fed with a composite drop (fibre and copper). Now all new communities with have zero copper in the ground.

PsnaP · 02-08-2011, 06:37 AM

Rumor has it that an update is coming this week.

Ethaniel · 02-08-2011, 09:48 AM

Install went in yesterday at my place. Went well except they could not get my phone working So hopefully it gets going here this morning as they figured it would. Apparently it was an issue with their Computers. Didn't have a tonne of time to play with the TV etc (set up my pvr stuff and that is all), but overall it is not bad at all. My only issue at first glance is that the remote seems very touchy sometimes and you need direct line of sight to do anything. This is really annoying as I can not sit in certain places and get the remote to work (telus remote). Internet was noticeably faster as it should be going from Shaw High Speed to Telus Optik Turbo.

Tech ran full Ethernet through the house as I have it already ran to every jack. Also have no copper anywhere at this time and the GPON comes directly into the house so I am getting very fast reception and internet speeds(did a test and hit 30mb/s and 4mb/s up last night).

Over all not bad other than the remote Direct line of site with the box thing, but I can work around that or potentially look at a universal or two.

8sPOT · 02-08-2011, 11:59 AM

So I called up Telus and mentioned to them that online it says my area is eligible for 3 HD and 1 SD programs at once. After some checking around and whatnot they did verify that I am eligible for this upgrade. They are coming on the 22nd to do what they gotta do.

Sounds like the customer has to initiate this sort of thing though, which is fine they told me to check back around this time originally.

Can't wait to be able to record 2 HD and watch a live feed as well!

Yeah that's how I know it's not available for me yet. It only says I have Telus Satellite available.
