I had exactly same issue.

That's a glitch, when one tries to do it from their website. Pls call Telus cust rep, they will fix it.

It's base with 5 premium for 20 bucks... no additional as it shows in your screen shot. Once you select your 5 premium, you cannot change them in 30 days.

And with Telus internet bundle it costs just 10 bucks.

Also reminder for OptikTV customers must contact loyalty to switch to PikTV.
If we try PikTV for a month and don't like it, we won't be able to return to our previous Optik pricing correct?

Depends... People usually switch to pik TV because of the channels they watch and lifestyle. Nothing is guaranteed if you switch back and forth.

I just called into retention to cancel Optik TV to go with Pik TV. There is a slight change in the deal:

$10 per month Pik TV for existing Telus customers
First month is free
$25 for the Android TV box (instead of $100). There is no $75 credit and the $25 pricing is reflected immediately.

Thanks HoboEater!

If someone doesn't have TV with Telus, form the website, it looks like actually Internet 25 and Pik TV for $65 /month (+hardware cost). Internet 25 itself is $76/month after any promo period, so really you get a discount ont Internet 25 and free Pik? Am Ireading this correct?

Was thinking about jumping over to PikTV but lately I noticed I'm having trouble finding shows available On Demand using the Optik On The Go app/website. For example the latest episode of Supergirl (don't judge) is available On Demand on my Optik box, but not online (Optik On The Go).

Then I found this thread:
https://forum.telus.com/t5/Pik-TV/Signi ... td-p/75304

Pretty much makes PikTV a non-starter in our house as we won't wait a week or more to watch an episode.

Please pass this feedback on to the TELUS overlords @HoboEater
and a warning to everyone else: be prepared to watch your shows

Someone posted all over the Internet a bad review about Pik TV so I was a little unsure about it but with the free month and $25 hardware I gave it a go. I must say I have been surprised about the quality of the image, it definitively rivals the Optik TV service and Shaw's offerings in regards to picture and sound quality. Not too many channels are available yet but with kodi and Netflix installed I am not missing much. I get hockey and news from Telus and the rest from Kodi. Previously I was paying $5 for an IPTV service (TPK) that most of the time didn't work and was frustrating every time the dtream would needed to load. Just the hardware for this Pik service makes it worth it because its an android box that almost matches my FireTV in performance, lots faster than those Chinese quad core boxes, plus you get a decent remote.

So the box seems to be a Google TV box judging by the look of the UI, Are you able to cast to this box via Chromecast?

Does “on demand” mean all episodes of all shows viewable on that channel?
I’m with Shaw and some VOD shows are full seasons while others are only 2-3 most recent episodes

Hmmm is this still $10? I think this would really interest a friend of mine.

Thanks

Do note, box doesn't work with Google home so that's a big disappointment.

Is BNN likely to be a channel option for Pik customers? It's not a deal killer if not (BNN has a subscription option direct), but I am wondering about channel availability growth in general more as a curiosity. What about FX? I'd love to catch up on episodes of The Americans. ;-)

I like the overall idea of Pik... we watch very little broadcast TV and have an OTA setup if we really wanted to, but watch few non broadcast selections - CBC NW, HGTV, Food, BNN and the ubiquitous Netflix.

One question related to FX - Telus is a supported provider on the FX Canada website - one can log on and see old and current episodes (I presume... Shaw is not a supported provider). As a Pik customer would I be able to access that content or is that restricted to Optik customers?

Former (looong) time ago Telus customer with a Telus fibre drop at my home, seriously considering this, American's or not.

Lately wifi reception on this android box ain’t so great. It’s either that, the channels themselves, not too sure as the other devices around the house gets wifi just fine. The channels would stutter and freeze, requiring a reboot. The price is right, just wished the service is more reliable.
