TELUS Team MemberHi pointbob, I have the latest equipment with the Google Assistance button in the middle of the remote (the colorful button), and if I press it, it will prompt me to give commands. You can command basic actions such as changing channels, open guide, launch apps, navigate content, and some general TV navigation.
Does your aunt have the latest TELUS TV+ Digital Box? What's the behaviour of the voice control not working?
ALso my aunt has your slim remote 2 - there's nothing on it with a google or alexa button.
ps...why can't i edit posts here?? I have to keep making new posts.
- What model of Optik box do you have? It sounds like confusion over models. You need the newest box with cloud DVR functionality, it has a “Google Assistant “ button in the middle of the remote. I’ve not heard of any other Optik box models that work with voice command.
