@likoni & @Riley_  --  You can do it:

  1. The BlueCurve TV players communicate with the BlueCurve PVR over WiFi, so that each TV can simultaneously show different TV programs (live or recorded);
  2. Connect the BlueCurve PVR to HDMI #1 on your PIP-capable TV;
  3. Put the TV player near your TV, and configure it to communicate via WiFi with the BlueCurve PVR;
  4. Connect the TV player to HDMI #2 on your PIP-capable TV;
  5. Use your TV's remote to activate PIP, and choose your desired mode (side-by-side, or small picture inside large picture).

The most-difficult part will be selectively "aiming" your Shaw remote-control at either the BlueCurve PVR or the TV player, to get one unit, but not both, to change channels.  If you have one extremely-long HDMI cable, consider putting the TV player as far away as possible from the BlueCurve PVR, in a different corner of the room, to able to "aim" your Shaw remote at the TV player.

The second-most difficult part is to NOT get both channels of sound coming out of your TV at the same time.  🙂

Good luck!

Shaw has two options: "skinny-TV" (similar channels to what you got when you still had an antenna on the roof of your house), plus add-on bundles, such as "news" or "sports" or "entertainment", versus their "Total TV" offering of over 100 channels.  

its user unfriendly with the new boxes compared to telus

The Telus on-screen menus are no better than Shaw's menus.

> they got rid of the PIP which eas great and now its annoying without it.

Please read the message chronologically just before yours.  PIP can be done, with a PIP-capable TV.

You can connect up to 3 BlueCurve devices in your home.

So, feed the output from 2 of the boxes into your PIP-capable TV.

Since the BlueCurve remote-control is "omni-directional", and broadcasts "up to 50 feet", you may have a problem "pointing" your remote-control to just 1 box.  Also, NOT getting two audio-feeds coming out of your TV might be another problem.
