This blogging stuff is cool.
I warned Telus I'd do everything in my power to inform
as many people as possible about this company.
I will be starting my own blog with extensive horror stories regarding Telus.
Apalling service and outright lies…the phone staff always
sincere apologies…oh right…they're being recorded…

Okay, first I have used Telus TV for over a year and a half as one roomate is an employee.
This is the worst product I have ever used and the service received during complications is horrendous.
Telus does not have the qualified people or they do not know their job positons well enough to support the downfalls of TV over IP.
I have been so frustrated with pixelation, dropouts, complete blackouts for days on end - spuratically over the last year and a half that as soon as I move out on my own I would never use telus tv even if I was getting paid to do so.
It has been a nightmare and the poor service I receive when calling in a problem has been so bad that I will never again in my lifetime buy any product from the mass unorganized company that is telus.
My grade on TTV is F-. Save your money and headaches and ensure you will not invite friends over for big events that will not work by staying away from telus. They do not understand the technology or know how to support it.

Mark, I think I've commented before here that Bell does offer IPTV or at least what I think is the same thing. They keep changing the name every other week. Anyway, I have the Bell VDSL service.
I have to admit it rocks pretty well. Implementation is very nice too. One set-top box can stream to 3 TV's. Only thing required at the TV's is an RF remote and a little dongle antenna type device that goes between the cable line and the TV input.
The set-top box also provides my Internet connectivity. Although I didn't want this I was forced to go this route due to technician incompetence.
The channel lineup is very very similar to satelite ExpressVu although I think I get a few more new channels that aren't on satelite yet.
The picture quality as far as I can is better than any Rogers cable I've had in the last 10-15 years.
