Optik TV is Telus' IPTV based television service. Video, Interactive Programming Guide and Applications are delivered via [[IPTV]] from the [[Cable television headend|head-end]] to the consumer's High-Definition PVR or High Definition [[set-top box]]. Broadcast channels are distributed via [[IP multicast]], allowing a single stream (channel) to be sent to any number of recipients. The system is also designed for individual [[unicast]]s for [[video on demand]], central [[time shifting]], start-over services and other programs desired by only one home at that particular time. The set-top box does not have a conventional tuner, but is an IP multicast client which requests the stream desired. In the IP multicast model, only the streams the customer uses are sent. The customer's connection need not have the capacity to carry all available channels simultaneously. |

In June 2009, Telus began to resell [[BCE Inc.|BCE]]'s satellite [[Bell TV]] service in parts of Alberta and British Columbia as '''Telus Satellite TV'''. The agreement was designed to allow Telus the ability to offer a [[quadruple play]] of services in markets where it had not yet deployed Optik TV, while also allowing Bell to increase its television market share in Western Canada. The Telus-branded service co-exists with the Bell-branded version of Bell TV, which is still offered in the markets that Telus Satellite TV is offered.<ref name=gandm-telussattelite>{{cite news|title=The satellite surprise: Telus ties up with BCE|url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/the-satellite-surprise-telus-ties-up-with-bce/article1199657/|accessdate= |
