optik tv tablet app and telus home internet - bandwidth used or no?

I realize my Optik TV boxes aren't using my Telus internet bandwidth - but what about when a tablet/phone Optik App streams tv shows? Does it function the same as the remote TV box, or is it burning through data the same as my amazon prime app or youtube apps do? I suppose I can do a test, but that would take some planning for people in the household to avoid alternate data streams over the course of a day or two.
