Option 1: If you prefer to use up your existing Calm Premium subscription before adding Calm through Optik TV.
Turn off the annual or monthly auto-renewal in the Calm app, iTunes or Google Play. Once the subscription has expired, sign in to My TELUS and follow the steps to add Calm to your Optik TV service. See more on how to check your expiration date.
Tip: If you already added the Calm theme pack to your Optik TV service but prefer to finish using your existing Calm Premium subscription, swap out Calm for another Optik TV theme pack in the meantime by logging into My TELUS. Visit telus.com/channels for our full theme pack selections.
Option 2: If you prefer to access Calm On Demand through Optik TV right away.
Follow the steps to add the Calm theme pack to your Optik TV service, and then get ready to relax with Calm On Demand by visiting channel 351.
Be sure to also turn off annual or monthly auto-renewal in the Calm app, iTunes or Google Play.
