It is also possible that one of your subscribed Flex Channels was either discontinued or ceased broadcasting.  When this happens, MyRogers does not deal with the situation gracefully, but you can contact support (or send a private message to @CommunityHelps ) and ask them to swap out the discontinued channel for another of your choosing.

You mean the system does not detect that a currently selected flex channel ceases to exist and open that flex slot.up for user to reselect a new flex channel?

Come on should be easy to program.

One of things that I was going to recommend was noting down all of your Flex Channel selections just in case anything unexpected happened.  If any channels disappeared, you could then ask tech support to swap those channels and get all of your channels back.  [Edit.  Sorry, I was thinking about a post I made in another thread]

 

The Flex Channel management code has been buggy for years.  They never tested cases where subscribed channels suddenly become unavailable.  I suspect that its development was probably subcontracted (to the lowest bidder) and that the company or contractors that wrote the code either disappeared or demanded exorbitant fees to maintain it.

 

If you know which channel disappeared, send a PM to @CommunityHelps and ask them to exchange that Flex Channel for another.  If you are unsure, you can also ask them to clear your Flex Channel selections and reset everything back to defaults.  If things do not get cleaned up correctly, you will see a "Technical Error -- Sorry, there's a problem on our end ..." message pop up every time you try to exchange Flex Channels in MyRogers.

Were you previously subscribed to either MTV or the Cooking Channel at the time that those channels ceased broadcasting?  If so, you will need to contact @CommunityHelps or Tech Support and ask them to manually exchange that channel for another, and you should get all 20 Flex Channels back.

That's strange.  If this was NOT due to you being subscribed to MTV or Cooking Channel, you can try "Settings / Device Settings / Sync PVR" to se if that updates your channel entitlements.  If that does not fix things, try "Help / System Refresh"

I removed HGTV and added T&E. No problem. It seems it is just CNN that's the problem. But still only 19 flex channels. No I did not have cooking or MTV on my list.

I do not know why you lost a Flex Channel but it's likely that something in your account got damaged, or Rogers overlooked something when the new channels launched.

 

It looks like the new Rogers channels are now also available as a free preview with no end date, so no need to assign those to Flex Channels at the moment.
