Why did TELUS change Smooth Jazz channel access in the guide?
Answer
TELUS often regroups music channels under Stingray or a profile picker, so the guide path can change even when the channel number still works. Restart the set-top box, try channel 7647 or another Stingray music channel, and complete any Select your profile prompt with the household profile you normally use.
Follow these steps
Power-cycle the set-top box
Unplug the TELUS set-top box from power for about 30 seconds, plug it back in, and wait until the guide finishes reloading before opening Smooth Jazz again.
You should see: The guide reloads fully and either returns to the old one-step path or still shows the new selection sequence.
Tune the channel number directly
On the remote, enter 7647 (or the Smooth Jazz number shown in your current guide) instead of browsing through menus.
You should see: The channel tunes, or you see a clear message that the channel is unavailable on your package.
Complete the profile prompt if shown
If Select your profile appears, choose the profile your household normally uses for TV, then open Smooth Jazz again from the guide or channel number.
You should see: The music channel starts without looping back to the same prompt repeatedly.
Compare with another Stingray music channel
Try one or two other Stingray music channels from the guide. If they use the same multi-step path, the guide layout change is service-wide rather than a broken Smooth Jazz tile.
You should see: Other music channels behave the same way, confirming a lineup or guide change.
Check package and contact TELUS if needed
Sign in to your TELUS account on the official website or My TELUS app and confirm music channels are still on your plan. Contact TELUS support only through official channels if the channel number fails or the profile prompt loops.
You should see: You confirm the channel is included, or TELUS support can refresh the guide authorization.

Extra tips
What to look for: Whether the guide shows a Select your profile screen, whether channel 7647 still tunes Smooth Jazz, and whether other Stingray music channels open the same way.
Before you change anything: Confirm you are using a TELUS Optik TV or similar TELUS set-top box, not a third-party streaming app. Note the channel number shown for Smooth Jazz in the guide. Avoid factory-resetting the box before trying a simple power cycle. Do not share account passwords with anyone who calls or texts unexpectedly.
