Home page when opening TV
I recently switched my grandparents over from ShawTV. Previously, we would open the tv and it would resume the same channel from when we closed it. Now with Telus we’re getting a lot of pop ups saying...

TELUS Team MemberHi Lammindy , just wanted to add that if you press the back button it will dismiss the home screen and the screen will play back any content that was last played. For example, if you played live TV, then it will tune into the last channel played, but if you played a movie/VOD last, then it will play the movie/VOD!
Thanks Kate, yes I think theoretically that’s what should be happening but even when we press back it stays on the home page.
I did find this link though and it has an option to disable the home page? https://www.telus.com/en/support/article/optik-tv-home-screen-feature

The home screen disablement is for the older boxes on a different platform. For the new TELUS TV digital box the feature is still in development. For now, the workaround is dismissing the home screen via the back button on the remote. Can you try holding down the back button? I'm thinking perhaps the box hasn't been updated, so you'd need to press and hold the back button for dismissal.
- Hi Kate, just wondering is there anyway to get an older model of the box so that we can fix this issue. the back button works now thanks.
Now we’re having issues w “low or no signal”- Optik-Kate
Hi Lammindy , I'll share my colleague's response regarding the support for legacy boxes. https://forum.telus.com/t5/Optik-TV/Potential-new-customer-what-are-options-for-TV-boxes/m-p/146708#M14223
