Re: Optik TV app Issuses
First off, thanks for replying. I was expecting crickets... Adding Pause, rewind, FF would be great. If it's there I don't see any indication of the functionality. I do see the volume, but not the others. While I have your ear. The new scrolling is pretty awful compared to before. Especially changing time windows. The blank screen was temporary - I assume an issue on the back end (capacity or maybe the DRM issue you mentioned? - it only affected the World Cup streams). I use Edge and it is not retaining the credentials. This is new behaviour with your new service. Is there something specific I should look for (an Edge setting?). The Shaw equivalent I mentioned could access its local PVR - if they were on the same network (didn't work remotely). I seem to have access to all subscribed channels now - one improvement over the previous version. Interesting you mention the PVR is local storage based, I thought it was a hybrid of local and cloud based due to the storage capcitity it seems to have.4.7KViews0likes1CommentOptik TV app Issuses
Are there plans to upgrade the telustvplus.com service? It's a huge downgrade from the watchoptik.com service, which wasn't very good in the first place. It's slow, forces users to login each time, scolling is terrible, changing timeslots is terrible and much of the time it just doesn't work. For instance today, after logging in (again), I went to the guide and tried watching World Cup - all I got was a blank screen. I don't know if the issue is capacity, licensing or technical incompetence. I've suggested that Telus take a look at the Shaw alternative, it is a much richer and better developed service without some of the restrictions Telus has opted for. (you can watch everything you're subscibed to and you can watch programs from the PVR. Please, please make this better. Maybe have the marketers, planners and developers eat their own dogfood when they come up with new ideas.4.9KViews1like3Comments
