Re: Optik TV online channel selection not available
Also I've marked this as an accepted solution because, at the very least, I can now make my channel selection online (hopefully it ends up applying to my telus box).

Re: Optik TV online channel selection not available
Hi there! Thank you for your reply. So yes, this interface worked, and it allowed me to access the channel selection interface. However, all the channels I had already selected over the phone (World News, CNN, CNBC, Cartoon network, Discovery Science HD) were already selected (green checkboxes). So I can confirm that the selection has been done to my order by the phone tech support person. However, the selection has never been applied to the telus TV box, despite countless reboots and factory resets. The 5 channels I listed are not selectable from the telus box. I changed the selection from the web interface and submitted the order and went through full checkout. I will see if doing this will have the effect of flushing it through. Maybe tomorrow morning I will see that the channel selection has finally been applied. In the meantime, a few questions: On the Telus TV box, I want to confirm that there is no need for me to login, the association to my account is based on the IP, correct? The login is a google login for android TV integration, that has nothing to do with my telus account. But, just confirming that I'm not supposed to do any other setup on the box to apply the channel selection. What was different with the web interface you asked me to go through? If I go to my telus, I still get the "legacy" thing with a note to call tech support for channel selection. But through the link you sent me, everything shows up. I still see my old address in Kitsilano, in addition to my current address. I couldn't find a way to remove the old address. My current address is still wrong, it doesn't specify "West" in my street address, and North Vancouver also has an "East" equivalent of my street and house number. In my telus profile, the postal code is wrong. I don't think it's harmful, but it's odd. Thank you.

Re: Optik TV online channel selection not available
Hi there, I still can't see the channels I selected over the phone with telus support. One of them was CNN, that's easy to remember. They could confirm they saw it as part of my selection. This was the conversation I referred to up here. I've even reset the device (the button on its side) and reconfigured it, and still don't see the additional channels. If it's possible to deal with the problem through this forum, I would prefer that. Phone support is very hit and miss, and it can be quite a while before you actually get to speak to a human. So there's two problems: I can't make my channel selection on the web The channel selection I did over the phone with support does not seem to be applying. Thank you.

Re: Optik TV online channel selection not available
Hi there. I called customer service to ask why I couldn't select my channels from the website. I was told that it's because there is a discount on my optik tv rental ($10 IIRC), the channel selection is not made available on the website to "ensure that the discount remains when the channel selection is changed". This seems like a very strange reason to me. Note that I am on a month to month, no contract. As for my address, the same person told me that they cannot change it, this is what they entered for the postal service, and the postal code that appears is driven by the system, not by manual entry.

Optik TV online channel selection not available
Hello, I subscribed to Optik TV about 2 weeks ago, I took the Essentials, no frills. Now, I would like to customize my channel selection (I get 5 picks), but I can't seem to do it online. When I select my Optik TV service from MyTelus, I simply get a note saying that "To manage your current package, please call 1-888-811-2323". See screenshot. Any idea why this would show up? Is anyone else here able to make their selection online? Also, called the number, gave them the channels I wanted, but it's been a few hours now and the selection does not seem to have applied yet despite power cycling the optik TV box. I don't know if this is for the same reason that I can't make my selection online... Finally, note that my home service address is not quite the same as my billing address, it's been very trying to get Telus to fix this. I don't know if this is could have anything to do with the online selection not working. Thank you.
