Telus Tv plus app on firestick

[Doc99]

When will Telus introduce an app on Firestick?

[Nighthawk · Accepted solution]

Already asked a few times. Same answer from Telus: they won't announce anything until it's ready. They have been looking into the Firestick but have not announced anything.

@Doc99 We're excited to announce that TELUS TV+ is now available on

Dang just signed up for two years got my spare TV’s outside and extra sporting game tv in basement both have firestick and Telus + app isn’t available. Had I known I wouldn’t have signed up with Telus. Oh well lesson learned back to Shaw in 2 years.

Telus clearly states which platforms are supported on their website.

That being said, Fire has come up a few times on the forums and it is supposedly in the works but Telus hasn't announced the progress or possible release date.

"TELUS TV+ - Android TV" app from google play works on my Firestick if sideloaded.

[koffmcsp]

Hi,

Thanks for letting me know I’ll have to look into that not sure what side load means lol. But I was able to also just dL the Sportsnet and TSN and CTV apps which will work for my sports so that’s great. Sent from my iPhone

Hi @koffmcsp Don't forget you have '30 days' to cancel...

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. 

[Nighthawk]

This gets asked frequently. You can find the answer to the last time it was asked here.

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.

[reiddab]

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.

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?

[TELUS_Support]

Hello reiddab, feel free to have a quick look here and let us know if you find your answer, thanks! A New Way to Stream: TELUS TV+ is now available on Fire TV!  

We also have @KHR and @Danishg who can help you! https://forum.telus.com/t5/TV/TELUS-TV-is-now-available-on-Fire-TV/td-p/169640

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.

There appears to be no way to install the Optik TV app on a firestick. i have tried every trick I can think of. With a lot of people including myself signing up for Starlink for our RV's this is a pain in ass. I notice the competitor, Shaw has an app built in so does bell with a firestick. This gives them a  competitive advantage. I do not want to switch, as I get an employee discount on Telus and it's a matter of loyalty,  They really  need to get their act together. A lot of us are getting Starlink for our RV's and want to use Optik without having to hook a laptop up to use it. How hard is it to get their app added to Amazons app store.

@telcoman I can't confirm Firestick will be supported in the immediate future but we do plan on expanding support to more devices. If/when we support is available, we'll be loud and proud with it.

@telcoman Great news - TELUS TV+ is now available for Firestick, Fire Cube, and TV sets running Fire TV with FireOS 6 or higher.

Does anyone know if Telus has any plans for a Amazon Firestick app. Surprised they don't have one already as soo many people have it.

[WestCoasterBC]

I would imagine it will likely come at some point and time. Once everything is running perfect on android tv, Apple TV.

[KHR]

A TELUS TV+ app for Firestick is on the horizon. I can't elaborate on details about timing other than we should have something to share at some point in the new year. There are a TON of different Fire devices, from TVs to sticks to cubes, and different policies on FireOS upgrades depending on the device, so testing and QA is complex.
