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 also used the Apple TV 4K box for Telus before my boxes came and I must say on Apple Tv the app was very clunky and slow. While my Telus Digital box is smooth and faster.
I also don't need my Amazon Firecube anymore because the Telus Digital box is android so I have all my apps in one place. Plus how cool is it I can watch Dishnetwork Anywhere and Telus Tv on the same box!!!
One thing I noticed Telus Android Box is missing Love & Nature 4K channel. I used to get it on wireless boxes.

Interesting, I’m experiencing the opposite. The Telus box has a noticeable stutter when changing programs through the guide, the explorer interface, or browsing other apps.
It seems to be using a lot of resources to constantly be playing the Telus program you were watching, and operating the Telus UI. where as the Apple TV I could turn off background app refreshing and close unused apps.
If i force close the Telus TV app, it becomes significantly more responsive, likely due to the reduced resource usage.
