Ignite cuts out and freezes frequently

[Jake33]

Just like my title states, this happens all the time, I never had these issues with my old cable, have spoke to Rogers many times, total waste of time. Thinking of going back to normal cable.

Hey @Jake33!

This is so disappointing to hear :(, and I assure you it isn't the intended experience that should be delivered from Ignite TV. Have you had a technician out there to investigate? Has technical support advised you of any signal issues or WiFi signal level issues to your Ignite Box?

A lot of times these issues can be caused by one or both of those things and they are most certainly addressable. Can you confirm for me if this is occurring on all Ignite boxes in the home?

That is one question.. if this is on LIVE or on recorded.

There is a known issue right now with the recorded playback.  Any signal, etc wont make a difference on this.  Its something on the back end.

But LIVE TV, there generally shouldnt be any issues.  As long as everything is set up right, and that the signal to the modem are good, and that the wifi is set up right and that each box is getting a signal.
I have no issues with live TV, but my modem signal is pretty darn good, and the wifi is very good to each box.


Other than the recorded playback issues.. i think 9/10 of the other issues we see on here.. stem from POOR setup.  Techs not taking the time to check modem levels.  To do a proper wifi assessment on the house, etc.

My Ignite does the same on Live TV with any box. Have had everything rebooted to no avail. Been weeks in contacting Rogers and they say "they are working on it " WHEN????
It is very annoying to the point that I am almost ready to cancel everything. This wasn't the service I signed up for

[Jake33]

Nobody has come out to rectify it, they just reboot everything & tell me it should be fine but it isn’t. I’ve swapped the little boxes with other TV’s I don’t use as much but it still does it. Happens on all the Tv’s.

[Jake33]

It only happens on LIVE, I haven’t noticed issues on recorded shows.

As far as I am aware, the only specific issue they are working on overall which is back end related, is the recorded quality issues, etc.

Live TV 'SHOULD' be fine.    Its working fine on my end.  So i doubt is a back end issue.

FORCE the issue when you call in, tell them they need to send a tech out.
Check the wireless signal for quality at all of the boxes, etc.  As well as make sure the signal at the modem is good.
Tell them to send a senior tech, etc.

We are having the same problem.  TV, computers and phone all on Ignite constantly dropping.  Try watching the playoffs with this or using the internet.  First call in said was it was a problem in the house, tech was here an hour and a half and said problem on the street, another call back says problem in the house, second tech here 3 hours said problem on street, call back saying problem not on the street, now a third tech coming tomorrow....Wish I would have check this forum before switching.  Techs are trying to be helpful, but something is wrong with this product/service.  Have not heard from anyone in customer service.  May as well switch back, or better still, look into Bell Vibe.
