    I still can't access the Apple TV+ app through Optik.  Tech support told me to phone Apple.

    When will Apple TV be available through my Telus + box? I tried to access through the 'apps' button, tried to click on Apple TV - it says 'item not found'.  Apple TV is in the popular apps section, but it is not in the installed app section.  When will it be installed?

     

    thanks

    The TV streaming jungle! I have been unable to confirm that Telus or Arris has authored an Apple TV client that will run on the current Telus 4k set top boxes (per ROKU and Amazon Firestick).  There is apparently an IOS version of the Optik TV client that will run on the Apple TV set top box -- this is described on the Telus website, but it's not what I want.  The only way that I can currently run Apple TV content on my 12 year old Samsung TV is to run that content on my laptop's Chrome browser and connect the laptop directly to the TV's HDMI port or cast to a similarly attached Google Chromecast device.  Or, I can of course weaken and contribute $200 to the Apple oligopoly by purchasing an Apple TV set top box.

    It doesn’t show up on my digital box either. How do I add this?

    I have a 4k Telus set top box (3 years plus) but do not see Apple TV when I hit the apps button on the Optik remote.  Had a few exchanges with Telus support.  They did not seem to be aware that this capability exists..
