I guess it depends where you're coming from when you say it does "everything". There are certain features that Rogers Digital Cable does that Ignite does not. Some of these features are missed by some people. Some are not. Here's a link to that discussion.
One item I forgot to include in that post is the lack of a clock on the Ignite box, which some people miss and need to find a workaround or alternative. I know I also often look at my Digital Cable box for the time, so I would also need to find an alternative.
Greetings @dfwm,
Welcome to the Rogers Community Forums! Congratulations are in order as it's your very first post! 🙌 I hope you're staying safe and sound. 😊 I've actually had my Ignite TV bundle for eons now and it's been fantastic!
It's a completely different experience from our legacy digital cable packages as it's a wireless-based service. Every bundle comes inclusive with an Ignite-Voice Activated Remote, Ignite Cloud PVR, one Set Top Box, and an Ignite Home Phone which is optional. With that being said, if you are still not sold on the idea of Ignite TV, we can definitely review your current services with us to see what we can do! 👍
If you can kindly send us a message at @CommunityHelps we'd be more than happy to have a look into this for you. In the event that you're unfamiliar with our private messaging system, feel free to Click Here.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
RogersJo

The dreaded end of promo is here, and I have to gather up my strength to call Rogers, and find out what they can offer for home phone, cable and internet (I'm on digital). Will they force me to switch to ignite? I definitely want to stay with digital.
I am also a former Rogers Digital TV customer (and former Bell Fibe TV customer) and my experience with Ignite TV has been VERY positive since I switched back in spring, 2019.
@RogersJo 's comments were spot on. Ignite TV provides a very different experience, and it has many nice features that are not present on the legacy platform.
I haven't been to a Rogers store since the COVID-19 outbreak. Hopefully they still have an Ignite TV display where you can try the service out for yourself to see how you like it.
@gregorysykes00 : Looks like your post may have been moved to this existing thread - read earlier posts. Have a look at the following thread comparing Digital Cable with IgniteTV. I'm assuming you currently have Rogers Digital Cable.
As for an older TV, if it has an HDMI input, you should be fine once the Rogers TV box is properly set up. If the TV doesn't have HDMI, then you would need an adaptor since Ignite TV box only has HDMI out.
If you are currently having any issues with Rogers Internet, get those fixed before switching since IgniteTV is sensitive to internet issues since it's IPTV.
Also, IgniteTV is currently on Self-install during COVID-19. If you're not comfortable setting things up yourself, you may wish to wait.

Don't waste your time and money with ignite. It has been nothing but a nightmare.
If Ignite TV was not installed correctly, if you have problems with your Rogers Internet connection or if your in-home network is not entirely stable, then Ignite TV will be a nightmare. For me, it has been trouble-free.
