PIK TV experience and feature request

[jimKnopf128]

I'm running my PIK TV account on Apple TV on TELUS' Internet 150 ... outstanding offerings for the low price ... poor navigation through TV shows and movies and on-demand - I guess Apple's "tile view" will haunt us for years to come ... clear grid view for live programming available ... I have no issues with picture quality ... no freezes ... no rhyme nor reason at times as to which episodes/seasons are made available for OnDemand viewing ...

The biggest issue I have is that it is not possible - to my knowledge - to pause or record programs. Wouldn't it be nice if you could plug in an external HD and record stuff or AT LEAST PAUSE? The Apple TV has a built-in HD, doesn't it?

Not a TELUS issue, but worth mentioning: the Apple TV remote is a nightmare: limited buttons, supper sensitive touchpad area, very small, slippery, no mute button. I got a case ($12 on amazon) that helped some of our issues.

Pause and record are options reserved for Telus’ Optik offering.

The pause/play/record feature was something that Telus asked customers about some time ago in a survey. It would/will/only telus knows be available for a extra monthly fee and if I recall would be all cloud based. Haven't heard anything else about it since the survey though so maybe it got a poor response and they scrapped the idea.
