Renewed and can't use tv anymore.

Renewed my Crave Subscription, kind of confusing but chose the cheapest since I never need more than one tv at a time. I use my Ps5 to watch crave on the big screen.

But ""Crave's ad supported options are not currently available on PS5. To continue with PS5, upgrade to Premium ad-free or visit Crave FAQs for more information on device support"".

Sucks to find out right after I paid for something, and yet this worked yesterday on my PS5.

Movie suddenly only available on Starz

Long story short, my kids have been watching the 1995 Jumanji on Crave pretty much on repeat for a month or two. Today we tried to play it and find that it is only available on Starz - how can this be? The newer version of the movie is still available on Crave. Further, on prime, the 1995 Jumanji is still listed as being available on Crave (not Starz) I am so suspicious 🤨

Prime Video Crave Channel

A couple of day’s ago I subscribed to the Prime Video Black Friday Crave Channel 2-month discount. I started watching a couple of series (The Penguin, Montreal Canadians Rebuilt) and I’m pleasantly surprised about the improved video quality. Seems like a much improved video resolution than I recall from using the native Crave app on my Apple TV 4K last year.

Anyone know if the Crave programming is streamed from the Amazon servers or trough the Bell servers?

Cancelled Crave and then resubscribed for better deal

To maintain my subscription, they wanted $147/year. I thought that it was silly to charge me more than the $130 promo so I cancelled my annual sub, it lapsed today, and I was curious how much it would be to resubscribe with my same account. It was $130.

Silly that they make you jump through a couple of hoops to get the same price being offered to new subs. :p

I guess I can not commit to watching the Dune TV series now. :p

I never crash or have any sort of bad experience when using crave.

Nah just kidding. Quite the opposite!

Funny though cause when I sail the high seas... no crashing... no hassle... it's so smooth. Seriously this app is trash. I'd be embarrassed to tell people I worked on it.

Can’t sign in

I am trying to sign in. It authenticates and I get to profile selection. Select my profile and I’m kicked back to sign in. I just re subbed to the premium plan.

I’ve tried deleting the app. Clearing data. I’ve tried signing in directly through crave and through provider. Both allow me to sign in and then immediately kick me out.

On Nvidia shield pro 2019.

Crave black Friday sale

Hey everyone! I’m currently getting an offer to upgrade to Crave's Premium plan for $130 CAD (plus tax) for one year. I've been using Crave for a while now, and last time I tried to cancel, they offered me $11 for 6 months, which was a great deal. This time, I was considering the Standard plan, but it has ads, so I’m sticking with the ad-free Premium plan. premium plan set to renew for one year on 14 December.

I'm planning to share the account with up to 4 people. Those people will have their own profile. I’m thinking of offering it for $35 CAD for one year if anyone’s interested. I can provide proof of the offer if you want to see it.

I also have the Starz add-on with Crave. Let me know if you want in or have any questions!

CraveTV Subscription Cancellation Failed, Refund Refused

In November of 2023, I changed my crave account to "do not auto-renew" (This was the way of cancelling at the time). After completing this action from their online account console, I removed the apps from my devices and no longer used the service.

One year later, I get a notification that my service was going to auto renew again. This prompted an immediate call to Crave in which I was informed that the service did in fact bill me last year and was going to bill me again.

They confirmed that I indeed stopped using the service but as I couldn't prove that I had actually cancelled the service, they refused to provide me a refund. Until this renewal notice, I received no other information that would lead me to the fact that my service had continued. Being that the renewal was among my other December (Christmas Shopping), I seemed to completely miss it on my bill (Honestly, with what I spent on Christmas, I likely didn't even look at the charges and just paid the credit card bill).

I have absolutely no question that I did completely follow through with the modification to the account. It wasn't an obvious process and the memory of doing so has easily persisted. After 3 hours on the phone, a Crave representative had indeed verified that I had indeed stopped using the service prior to the renewal date but refused to provide a refund or any kind. I was however invited to enjoy the last 7 days of service I paid $225.89 CAD for.

Any company that can easily see that they billed you and you did not receive the service, should in good conscience either provide a refund or atleast offer you the next subscription year. I would also like to note that I pointed out several other posts of people having the exact issue at the same time I did, but was ignored by the Crave representative.

The worse part of this is that I was considering restarting my subscription this Black Friday, now I will refuse to use their service ever again unless they correct this situation.

Dune 2 in 720p only?

Trying to watch Dune 2 on PC, I made sure to use Edge (native browser) but I still get only an option for 720p? Is Dune 2 available at just 720p or is anyone else having a similar issue?

Now have ads

I have Crave as part of my cell phone plan. It used to not have any ads but now it seems to have ads.

I started my plan two months ago and it didn’t have ads. On Thursday I signed up for Fibe and it was turned on Thursday. Would that have something to do with it?

Oh and the cell plan said I get ad supported crave but never had to watch ads.

PSA: casting can 'solve' the app freezing, data hogging Ads

Like everyone here, I'm frustrated by the huge amount of ads, and the fact that they force full HD mode even on data saving.

I tried casting to a chromecast (presumably a smart tv would work the same) and it would just stop during the ads, occasionally playing them. HOWEVER after the second or third time trying to restart (by hitting play on the casting device), it will play perfectly WITHOUT ADS AT ALL.

Normally I wouldn't try to block or bypass ads because they're 'part of the deal' but I suggest we do this until advertisements stop freezing the entire app and bypassing data saving mode.

Only playing movies on French?

App language settings set on English. App says the movie is available in English and French. But some movies only plays in French?!? Anyone else have this problem? Two specific examples: Heat and Constantine. App says both movies are available in English, but will only play on French. Can anyone else get these movies to play in English?

CraveTV Ads is Horrible & No Customer Support!!!

What's wrong with this site? 5 ads in a row??? and then 8 minutes later, another 5 ads in a row!! it's ridiculous! I paid for 1 month and have already cancelled. Also, when I watch a show then stop a minute or two after a round of ads, when i reload that show, it skips back and starts a half minute before the ads! So, I get 5 ads opening, 1/2min show, and 5 more ads!!! No customer support, no live chat like the site says, and when i call their number, it just hangs up on me after an annoying message. AHHHH!!

Prime video app only goes up to 1080p on PC, so is Crave limited to 1080p too in the app?

And are there more limitations like no HDR?

Being forced to get prime to when u only want Crave is a bad deal, especially if limited to 1080p. Glad I have a PS5, they really are a necessity lol

Edit: Yes I meant the prime video app on PC, Not thru a 3rd party service

Why are search results different on the TV app and Mobile app?

Same account.

I searched for documentaries on the Bell crave TV app and only get one result with "documentary" in the title

I search on my phone on the crave app and I get plenty of results from the category of documentaries.

How can I fix search on the tv?

Can we expect a Crave channel on Apple TV

I noticed that Amazon Prime Video now offers a Crave channel. Can we expect a similar channel on Apple TV (chromecast/google tv app) as well?

Ad on crave

Hi ! I saw an ad on crave that was an anti Doug Ford commercial just filled with facts and data about how bad the province has gotten since 2018.

I am unable to find it online because i don't remember the company/slogan they used!

Did anyone else come across it?! I think it was like 'ontario first/Ontario forward' or something like that?

Would love to find it again!

Thank you!!!

Frame stutters when watching content on Crave app

Hello. I’m currently subscribed to Crave through my ISP (Rogers). When watching from my Rogers Xfinity tv box, everything works great. But when watching from the Crave app (either through Google TV or Roku), a lot of content stutters (dropped frames) every 10-15 seconds. This has been widely reported so I know I’m not the only one.

Does anyone know if the Crave app works better (without those stutters) on an Apple TV box?
