Hi Telus,
Is there any plan for adding specialty channel like Treehouse, Multicultural Channel like ATN etc.? Hope Telus should be competitive with other streaming service provider like VMedia?
Thanks, Saty - PikTV User
Solved! Go to Solution.

I'll guess the competitive product from Telus is Optik.

Nah! VMedia is streaming channel like Pik TV (Optik is cable TV, not intener streaming). However VMedia lot more options when it comes to choosing channels.
VMedia Skinny Package $17.95 vs PikTV $20 (almost same), but they have options for the user to choose individual specialty channels on top of that. Cost wise Optik is almost double price @ regular rate (after initial discount offer period).

Then Optik TV should offer competitive price package as VMedia. Optik skinny package are much higher priced @ regular rate.

You are free to spend your money how you please for a service that best meets your needs. In the case that the exact service you desire does not exist, some decisions will have to be made.

Truth is neither Pik nor Optik offer what VMedia offers. It's cheap in basic package like Pik TV and offers specialty channel like Optik TV... Telus nowhere close when it comes to cost.
As such I cancelled the Pik TV right away.

Update - Telus listened to us (customers), added lot more options on specialty channels now... mandarin, hindi.. other language channels available now on Pik TV as pick n pay options. Great going.
