VANCOUVER — Telus Optik TV customers will soon be able to access Netflix directly from any Optik TV set-top box in their home, Telus announced today.
Accessing Netflix directly through an Optik TV set-top box removes the need to switch hardware and source inputs or fumble with additional remotes, Telus said in a news release. Access to Netflix will be made available to Optik TV customers over the coming weeks, Telus said.
“The addition of Netflix is yet another demonstration of Telus’ commitment to making our customers’ entertainment experience better and simpler,” said Blair Miller, vice-president of content at Telus, in the news release.
“Nearly half of Telus’ Optik TV customers are also Netflix subscribers, and making Netflix accessible to them via their Optik set-top box is a simple but powerful innovation providing access to all their home entertainment in one place. The way we consume television programming continues to evolve — this latest Optik innovation is a reflection of that evolution and Telus’ dedication to finding new ways to provide our customers with greater choice and control of their entertainment experience so they can watch the programs they want, when they want,” Miller said.
