Are there any benefits to the new box vs a third party option? (Apple TV)?
Signed up with Telus a few days ago and just got my Optik tv boxes in the mail. We already have an Apple TV, so I downloaded the Telus TV+ app while I waited for the Telus boxes, only to be disappo...
i apologize in advance that this reply doesn't answer your original problem but...
1. may i ask what channels do you lose in appletv-telustv+app that you get in Telustv-21T (android) tv box. can you list the tv channels?
2. also you said "i manually changing settings on my TV to match what I’m watching" . what setting are you changing exactly on your tv and do you have to do that everytime you turn on Telustv-21T box?
- Absolutely,
1. The only channels I don’t get on my Apple TV 4K is the 4K sportsnet channels, SNOne4K and SN4K on channels 920 and 921. I’ve been searching these forums and others all day to see if it’s a planned feature, but all I’ve been able to find is people confirming 4K channels are currently tied to just the Telus TV box.
2. The colours are very inconsistent between HDR content that I’ve been streaming via Netflix, and anything that isn’t HDR. Rather than the box adjusting to the program/app, I’ve was manually tweaking my colour settings on my TV to try and fix the picture the few times it happened.
The Apple TV I have, has an option to colour, resolution, and frame match whatever content is being streamed, while the Telus box doesn’t appear to have any option like that, making swapping between HDR and standard HD, or even other 4K programs feel like I need to have a new preset for each one in order for the quality not to suffer.
I haven’t noticed issues when I turn it on or off yet, it’s mainly the lack of adaptive features to the different stream types.
