Sharing Ignite TV

DwayneP
I've been around

We are a family of 5 and I just got Ignite TV.  I have my account registered with MyRogers and can use the Ignite TV app easily.  My question is how do others in my family login to the Ignite TV app on their devices?  Surely I do not have to share my MYRogers ID and password with all 5 family members.  There must be a NetFlix type option where each person has their own ID/PWD and preference settings right?

Ignite does not currently have an option for user profiles.

All users must login with the registered email and password.

Years ago there were separate logins and passwords for the account and for any other services.  Rogers, in its wisdom decided to use the same login and password for everything, despite the issues that you point out.  Very unfortunate indeed.

I plan to stick around

I know its an old thread... but the more I read and hear about ignite (that I was seriously thinking of stepping into sooner rather than later...) the more I keep thinking I'd rather stick to my Nextbox 2's and 3's.. and my Digital VIP grandfathered plan...

it didnt help when I called about a ignite box I saw for sale and they 'strongly discouraged' me from even trying to buy an independant box... they want us paying $10 per I guess...

Digital VIP, up to 5 or 6 TV's was fine.
Ignite, 1 TV per $10 fee.

What about security.  Having people sharing your account seems like the oddest thing to do.  You might be sharing it a with a family member who is not so tech savy.  Or who is quite young.  Is this even legal.  I’m pretty sure this is even against their own T&C’s.

Okay here is the T&C:  “

through Rogers or our third party storefronts is for your own personal,

lawful, non-commercial use. You agree that you will only use the

Services and this software and content in accordance with your

applicable Agreement and any applicable licence agreements.

Sharing an account no longer makes it “personal”.  It needs to be reworded as “you or any other person you have shared your account with”.    The word “you” now applies to me and everyone else I shared my account with.

 

Al,
