Is picture quality better with the new Telus+

[rcrh]

I've been subscribing to PikTV for years using an Apple TV and the Telus app (formerly the PikTV app).  Since they rolled out the new Telus+ app I've noticed that the picture quality is horrible.  This is particularly true of the TSN channels.  My contract is about to run out and I'm wondering if:

1) I move to Optik Core will the picture quality improve, and

2) do I have to move to their hardware or can I keep using my Apple TV and their app?

Thanks in advance for any insights you can provide.

Apple TV (and the Android equivalent) TV+ isn't backwards compatible with Optik TV. For what it's worth, TV+ is evolving and improving all the time.

1) No - it’s the same with what you get on Pik

2) you don’t have to use their equipment but you won’t get 4K channels with the ATV
