Android box turning my TV off.
I've setup my new Android box and I'm having some issues with the HDMI CEC integration. I'm not always using my android box has i have an android tv and prefer using it for things like Netflix and I also game on console. Unfortunately, HDMI CEC integration won't let me shut off the Telus box without turning my whole TV/soundbar off. I have turned off the HDMI CEC options in the settings in the box.
Access APPLE TV with Optik TV account
Hello A few days ago I signed up for a new plan including Apple TV as a streaming service on Optik TV. How do I activate and use this service? They sent me an activation link by email that goes straight to MyTelus page. Unable to click AppleTV under list of services and despite the FAQ saying I can activate through >services>subscriptions I cant because this tab or section does not exist. All the FAQ and guides on Telus website are outdated or simply does not apply to their current UI/website. I tried on phone browser,phone app, and PC browser incognito. all the same. FB Telus message system told me generic clear my browser or log into AppleTV with my associated account(how would that work if my Apple tv account isn't even linked or cant be linked to telus?). Gave me absolute generic response as if they have never even looked at it and just pulled something out as a reply. of course the 1-888 support number is automated and confused thinking im trying to activate a telus service/hardware and finally redirects me to their closed office to call tomorrow(its 0900 in AB?). I just spent last hour on phone with Tech Support > Customer Solutions > back to Tech Support who then put me on hold and hung up. They tried to call back but sent VM because as I've know through the years they can't seem to get understand or figure out Call Control(A service that Telus happily provides) so it's safe to say he won't get in touch with me because I'll have to call Telus to disable call control within 2 minutes just so he can connect to me instead of him pressing the proper digit asked for Call Control. How do I use my Apple TV?Purefiber connect SFP directly to Mikrotik Router
Hi, I am trying to connect my Mikrotik router directly by plugging in the SFP directly into the router. I got the PPPoE from the telus whitebox (username: [email protected], password is 6 chars long). VLAN is 40, priority is 0. I also set the MAC to the same value that was on the telus whitebox. I plugged the SFP directly into the mikroik and it shows the link is up. It also shows it is trying to connect using PPPoE. It sends one frame over the VLAN, but doesn't get any response. Without any error other than timeout, this is hard to debug. Any suggestions? Thanks, Bruce
Telus AndroidTV Box issue (Model: UIW4054TLU)
My TelusTV - 21T broken again. I have to reset to factory setting 2-3 times a week now. The TV box will hang with no signal (yes i check the HDMI cable). To temporary fixed it, i have to insert a paperclip in the reset hole and hold it for 10 seconds but the white light on the button will not blink or turn off. Which then i have to unplug the power cord for 10 seconds and plug it back in. a few times, i can see it boot up but still no signal then i have to repeat the same process. i can watch TV for a night then turn off the TV. the next morning, i have to reset again with the same procedure above. so annoying. I have replaced 3 of my TV box for more than 3-4 times now over the years. What to do?
Pole Removal
Hello Telus, BC Hydro recently replaced the pole that our electrical and telecommunication lines are on. They used the 'cut and kick' method which left your lines connected to the old rotting pole that was cut down and tethered to the new pole. How do I begin the process of getting Telus to move their lines over to the new pole and removing the old pole? BC Hydro has instructed me to contact you to finish the process. I reached out to your technical support team who made me an appointment with a technician. After nobody showed up for the appointment, I was told by another agent that the incorrect team was dispatched. I'm not confident your front-line call centre staff are familiar with how utility poles are replace here in Canada. I have reached out to you via private message and haven't heard back. I see from other posts you were able to help get the ball rolling. While not an emergency case, I'd like to ensure it does not fall by the wayside. Thank you in advance for your assistance!
