Great news everyone! Now there are more ways to enjoy your Pik TV App on the big screen as we have made it available on Chromecast with Google TV and Sony Smart TVs. This Android TV app is also available on Nvidia Shield and Nvidia Shield Pro.
If you are currently subscribed to Pik TV and already have one of the eligible devices, download and install the app on your Chromecast with Google TV or Sony Smart TV from the Google Play Store, then sign in with your My TELUS username and password.

Wonderful news. But please make the app available to Sony Android TV 2015 models as well. Sony has provided an update to Android 8 last year. It would be great to be able to watch all my channels in one app.

Are they going to make it compatible with normal Chromecast?
Long, long overdue!

I recently got Optic TV installed after the Telus promotions people I talked with assured me that I could cast from my iPhone to my chromecasts using the Optic TV app. Everything I now find on the Telus website indicates this is NOT possible. I utilized this extensively with my Shaw TV app and cannot understand why Telus is unable to support this when Shaw has for a long time. Is casting to Chromecast coming soon?

No, you can’t cast Optik from iPhone to Chromecast. You can install the PikTV app on appropriate hardware listed above. Telus has not described a timeline for availability of casting, if ever. Usually the broadcasters determine what is allowed to be cast, and Shaw may be in a different place, as they own so much content, where Telus is only a rebroadcaster of other company’s content.
