Re: Telus Tv plus app on firestick
Hi there,
I'm thinking of switching to Telus but I can't find any answer if I can get the Optik app on a Firestick? Anything else I should consider besides a Firestick. Google Chromecast is going away so that's not a good solution.

Dmh0605 We wanted to follow-up and let you know TELUS TV+ is now available on Firestick, Fire Cube, and TV sets running Fire TV with FireOS 6 or higher. Thanks for your patience with us!
Read more about it here.
Great news! As a longtime Telus TV, Internet and Mobility customer this is great to be able to add to my viewing options.
Will the FireTV app allow me to view/stream recordings from my PVR?

If you have cloud recordings on your account, then yes you can view them on your Fire TV app (just like you can today on Apple TV, Android TV, mobile and web).
If you have our legacy Optik TV system with a hard-drive PVR, you'll need to talk to a customer support representative about your options.
You can sideload the app onto the Firestick and it works. I don't know why Telus refuses to make it available on the amazon store... all talk, but no action for years. Bell TV and Shaw's Ignite TV are on there.
Where would one find a compatible *.apk file to sideload? I've tried a couple but after installing them the app won't open and just crashes.
