PVR Recordings don't match when I view
Optik TV: This is one of several issues I'm having with the PVR function of the new Optik TV system. When I select a recording to play, its not the correct one. 1) When I go into some of my PVR re...
Hi, for number 4, there is a rec button on the remote that says "rec (with a red dot)", if you hold it down for a bit, it takes you to the recording page.
In terms of the other bullet points, thank you for the feedback. Several of them are definitely in the works with our development, please stay tuned!
I'm having similar issues. Telus really needs to get this sorted to compete with Shaw.
My issues include:
1. Series recordings for many news programs only record one episode (meta data is wrong)
2. Programs set up for recording do not always record the correct program
3. Cancelling or deleting a recording you are currently watching does not return you to the last live TV channel selected (or alternatively, the guide). It continues to play the deleted recording.
4. Remote does not have a button to directly go to recordings - you need to go Home first and then navigate to the recording bullseye icon. I have no idea why this seemingly key remote function is missing.
5. An option does not exist to automatically go to the last TV channel or app selected when turning on the Optik TV box without having to hit remote buttons.

6. The guide information on screen does not show New vs Repeat status
7. Recordings do not have a delete recovery option (this may be a bigger piece of work)
8. Recordings do not have lead/trailing time extension feature for live programs
Someone in Telus Optik development (BA) seriously needs to go through common use cases and move the development of these use cases to the top of their product backlog.

TELUS Team MemberHi grimmt1 also wanted to provide an update that we addressed #8 with a recent update where we auto extend sports recording by 60 mins for general sports and 90 mins for tennis. Thank you for your patience while we work on improving the product!
Thanks for the update Kate!
That's a good interim solution for live sports, I thought I saw some extra time show up the other day for tennis.
Would still like to have the ability to adjust this myself on all live shows.- Optik-Kate
Yes! The 60 and 90 mins is what we can get out the door fast. We're still working on the full extension feature.
