Stream and save

Optik TV combines modern streaming services and live TV in one convenient package for one low price. With just one plan, you get access to all of the events, shows, sports, and news that are exclusive to live TV, plus your favorite streaming services like Netflix, Crave, Hayu, and Prime Video. Optik is the only TV platform in Western Canada that allows customers to save big by swapping out channels they don’t watch with streaming services they do. Without the bundle, you’d have to individually subscribe to streaming plans on top of your live TV package. One of the best things about Optik TV is that you can protect yourself and your wallet by locking in the best deals on your favorite streaming services for two years. Rates will not increase during that time, and if streaming providers do raise their prices, the increase won’t be passed on to you, so long as they’re included in your Optik package.

Features and perks

Every customer gets a free movie rental included in their plan, which can be used on one of the thousands of options in Western Canada’s largest On-Demand library. With the Optik app, you can surf live TV and stream content on multiple devices simultaneously, including your phone or tablet, and even manage your recordings from your phone and sync them with your PVR at home. To top it all off, you’ll never run out of things to watch as TELUS offers the most HD and 4K channels, plus the largest selection of multicultural channels in Western Canada.

Plus, you get access to hundreds of movies, shows, and more with the largest On-Demand library in Western Canada. You can even view it all on the go with the Optik TV app on any compatible mobile device or tablet.

Hulu with Live TV Free Trial: Everything you need to know
Hulu on Roku.

As great as online streaming platforms are, some people miss the cable and live TV days -- not necessarily because of the prices or confusion, but the option to catch whatever is on at a given time. It can be frustrating trying to find a decent movie or show to watch or even make a selection with so much available these days. If that sounds like you, that's where the best live TV streaming services come in. In fact, Hulu has its own live TV streaming service in its Hulu with Live TV package, which is one of the largest streaming platforms by subscriber count (more than 4 million, in case you were wondering). It's a more comprehensive streaming service than basic Hulu, though, so it's naturally a bit pricier. The higher price may warrant a testing period. It's always good to give something a try before spending your hard-earned money, which leaves you wondering: Is there a Hulu with Live TV free trial available? Here's what you need to know.
Is there a Hulu with Live TV free trial?

Just as there is no Disney Plus free trial, there is also no Hulu with Live TV free trial at the moment. That said, there is a Hulu free trial for the basic ad-supported service if you want to give that a try to see if Hulu's non-live catalog of shows and movies is worth it. You get to try Hulu for 30 days, too, which is ample time to explore the catalog and then decide if you want to upgrade to the full Hulu with Live TV package to get those television channels that basic Hulu is missing. Other than that, though, you'll have to pony up the cash if you want to sign up for Hulu with Live TV -- but that doesn't mean you have to pay full price.
