Optik TV on Firestick 2024

[Dmh0605]

Hi there,

I'm thinking of switching to Telus but I can't find any answer if I can get the Optik app on a Firestick?  Anything else I should consider besides a Firestick.  Google Chromecast is going away so that's not a good solution.

This gets asked frequently. You can find the answer to the last time it was asked here.

You can sideload the app onto the Firestick and it works. I don't know why Telus refuses to make it available on the amazon store... all talk, but no action for years. Bell TV and Shaw's Ignite TV are on there.

Where would one find a compatible *.apk file to sideload? I've tried a couple but after installing them the app won't open and just crashes.
