We have been seeing and increase in the frequency of our optik tv and our internet connection "freezing" this started several months ago and was happening every two weeks or so. This "freezing" now happens daily, even though i have been restarting and re-initializing the Optik TV boxes at least once per week. The TV boxes are direct Ethernet connections to the Telus modem. Most internet users in the home are wireless but the freezing also occurs on the wired PC(s). We have a doubled ADSL connection as Telus has Zero plans to install Fiber to our neighborhood. Has anyone experienced this and if so, was there a remedy? To date online customer service Techs have not been able to replicate the issue and have only recommended that i periodically restart the modem and set top boxes. Given the amount of money my household is paying to Telus each month this has become a waste of money.Solved5.2KViews0likes1CommentReturn Your TELUS Equipment in 3 Easy Steps

I have scheduled recordings of some shows and the timing doesn't match the show. I've noticed it especially with several HBO programs. The recording starts up to 10 minutes before the show actually starts and ends early, cutting it off. I think the TELUS guide isn't synced with the actual program times.96Views0likes5CommentsStreaming on TELUS - Februrary 2026
Hey everyone! Hope you're doing well and enjoying the new year! February is right around the corner, and another month means another new batch of great movies and shows to check out on Optik TV! Remember, you can catch all the hottest new content as part of our awesome Stream+ package to get Netflix Premium, Disney+ and Prime Video all at a discounted rate! Let's take a look at some of the highly anticipated titles streaming in February as well as what I'm hooked on now! Coming in February February 5 - The Lincoln Lawyer (Season 4) - Netflix The return of Manuel Garcia-Rulfo as the iconic lawyer, back to tackle another thrilling case in this smash hit based on the series of novels. February 19 - The Night Agent (Season 3) - Netflix FBI agent Peter Sutherland returns in another season of the hit political thriller series. Most Anticipated The Lincoln Lawyer (Season 4) - Netflix Based on the bestselling novel series by Michael Connelly (also responsible for the fantastic 'Bosch' books/series), The Lincoln Lawyer is back. Manuel Garcia-Rulfo returns as Mickey Haller, Los Angeles' most dedicated defense attorney. Trouble seems to find Mickey in every season, and things seem no different this time around. After the shocking finale of Season 3 (no spoilers!) there's more than ever at stake now that Mickey himself is the client. With his reputation, and his very life, on the line, he'll need to do everything he can to prevail in the end. I'm a huge fan of this series. The writing is quick, the acting sharp, and there's enough cliffhangers in almost every episode to keep you coming back for more. Garcia-Rulfo definitely shines as the titular character, with a great supporting cast that's both well-rounded and hilarious. If you're a fan of political or courtroom thrillers, The Lincoln Lawyer is for you. All three seasons are streaming now so you have time to catch up before the new season drops February 5 only on Netflix! What I'm Watching Now Fallout (Season 2) - Prime Video I'm so pumped that Fallout is back! The megahit post-apocalyptic series based on the worldwide phenomenon video game series has returned for an action-packed second season! In this story, there are the haves and have-nots. Set about 200 years after the 'end of the world' bombs dropped, the denizens of a series of luxury fallout shelters underground are forced to return topside into a world full of radiation, mutated creatures, raiders, and countless other dangers. This series centers around Lucy MacLean, a citizen of Vault 33 as she returns to the surface chasing after her father, who has a lot of things to answer for after the nuclear decimation of the planet. She partners unwittingly with Cooper Howard, a former actor who has since mutated into a ghoul, making his way as a gunslinger and bounty hunter. While fans of the video games will undoubtedly love the series, there's a lot to love for the uninitiated. If you're a fan of over-the-top humor and action, combined with a star-studded cast and fantastic special effects, you're sure to love Fallout. Both seasons of the hit series are now streaming on Prime Video. It's a super fun series to kick back with and enjoy! ICYMI: Not subscribed to Stream+ yet? No worries!
