Telus TV in Edmonton for selected employees
I don't have it but a friend does as his wife works for Telus (Edmonton). Only telus employees were offered access to it. I know someone else who's girlfriend works for telus and they weren't able to get it. They were not sure why?
Anyway, my friends experience with it was positive. They went from 'peasant' vision to many channels, so a bit of shock. Right now, employees are not paying for the service ( at least the basic service , I think they have to pay for VOD ). Supposedly, come the summer, they will have to pay to continue to use it and this is supposedly when Telus will offer this to the public. Have not heard a thing about that so who knows for sure. My friend said that when they start to pay for it, it won't be that bad as programs come into a variety of packages. The ones they watch were only in 2 or 3 packages that they would purchase.
I have shaw cable and when I was over at their house, I checked out the service. I noticed that there were a couple of more channels than what shaw had plus they had Canadian timeshifts in addition to the American ones. The VOD seemed like they had quite a bit of content but i'm not a VOD person so Its difficult to compare with SHAW. When I was flipping Channels, I would get the odd outage explaining the picture would be back right away.
I am surprised that there seems to be little information out there about TELUS TV. I hope they start up this summer or fall. Any competition with SHAW can only be good for all of us.
