TV offerings/Confusion

[cathycrone]

Contract about to expire in a few weeks.

Looking for feedback about programming.

Am I able to have only Essentials (as the base tv programming), yet be able to use preexisting subscriptions to Amazon Prime, Netflix, and Britbox?

@cathycrone  I just had a look at the bundles. Essentials does not have amazon net or brit. They are in the more costly bundles only. I have telus satelite and buy what i want useing smart tv

You should be able to stream Amazon Prime, etc to any smart TV, independent of your Optik subscription, but need to be aware it will count against your data allowance if you have one.

Thank you!

We do not have a smart TV. We have a Panasonic that is many years old, however , still works( LOL).

We are seniors, who use only a quarter of our 300GB monthly allotment of data, every month.(Shame we can't pay for just what we use.

You should be able to do this for at least Prime and Netflix. I paid for these services before they were availble through Telus and they are paid to the providers directly, not Telus. So they would be available regardless of what offerings I have through Telus.

Thankyou !

We have paid for these services , directly to providers ,for many years, prior to Telus availability .

We do not have a smart tv either.

Contemplating options, especially being locked in ,yet again ,for another 2 years.
