Quick app snapshot
Ignite TV is a free Android application from Rogers Communications that brings live channels, on-demand titles and cloud PVR recordings to mobile devices. It lets subscribers download stored recordings for offline viewing and watch programming whether they’re at home or moving about the country.
Core capabilities
- Save cloud PVR shows to your device for offline playback.
- Watch live broadcast channels directly in the app.
- Browse and stream a large library of movies and TV episodes on demand.
- Cast video to a TV using Chromecast support.
- Set up, change or cancel PVR recordings from the app.
- Apply the “Available Out of Home” filter to find programs you can stream away from your home network.
Connectivity and account requirements
Ignite TV requires a MyRogers account (username and password) and an active Ignite TV subscription. Streaming and downloads need a stable Wi‑Fi or cellular data connection; performance depends on your network speed and data plan.
Watching when you’re away from home
Subscribers can stream channels and access saved PVR files across Canada whenever they have an internet connection. Downloaded recordings remove the need for a live connection, so you can view them while offline.
Other apps to try
- Star Sport Live — a sports-focused streaming option.
- Sports Guide — an app for schedules and live-scores with some streaming links.
- Free streaming alternatives — various ad-supported services that offer selected live or on-demand content at no cost.
