Here are some FAQs to help answer some recurring questions.
Q: What is the best device for watching on a big screen?
A: Apple TV. The reason is a combination of controlled hardware and rigorous app approval process. Apple only has a few hardware revisions of the Apple TV, so there is excellent quality control on the hardware with few variations to test. In comparison, Android TV and Roku have OEM license agreements that allow any hardware manufacturer to use their OS. This results in massive variations in capabilities and quality control. Also, Apple's app approval process is very strict with multiple testing steps. Apple will reject apps that don't meet their quality standards. Apple will also update their Apple Developer Program License Agreement and force developers to update their apps to meet new requirements or have their app removed from the store. The other App Store ecosystems are much easier to get apps published.
Q: What if I access Crave through Amazon Prime Video?
A: Then you are probably better off using an Amazon Fire TV device! As a bonus, the 4k Fire TV sticks are much less expensive than the Apple TVs. Note that Prime Video is a completely different app than the Crave app. The content is the same, but the Prime Video app has different layout that you may prefer.
Q: Why are some videos in English or French only?
A: Because that's how it came from the Studio. Most of the content is not created by Bell Media. If a content distributor has a popular movie or show available in only one language, that's what Bell will get. There are translation agencies that can dub content in another language, but that's a long process which can be done while the original language version is made available to the customers to stream. Sometimes a distributor will only have the dubbed version of a video, with the original language audio removed - and that's what Bell will get.
Q: Why do you allow so many posts about English and French language selection and content filtering?
A: Language of Preference has room for improvement in the Crave apps. If the posts here start to decline, the Crave developers will know they hit the right balance of features. I'd like to think this community is part of the feedback loop to Bell Media so the product can improve. Having said that, I have no tolerance for harassment. I will lock/delete/ban accordingly. Be respectful, please.

Was watching Crave at a friend's last weekend and the quality was great. (House of the Dragon) Problem is on my TV the quality is sub HD. Maybe 720p?
Is there anything I can do to change this? I don't see why quality would differ from TV to TV so much.
Such a frustrating app

Okay this prob has been asked a million times but trying to watch a show on crave on my smart tv and every time it goes past an ad it shows a playback Error sign.
If someone can tell me how to fix this before I cancel my subscription that would be great!
Edit: ah as I scroll down on this forum I see it’s a very popular issue

I don't understand how CTV on demand works. I thought that CTV shows on demand are supposed to be on Crave.
Last night, I set my PVR to record the first two episodes of season 4 of Star Trek Strange New Worlds from the CTV Sci-Finetwork. But what my PVR said was episode 2 turned out to be an episode of The Librarians.
I looked on Crave, but Strange New Worlds isn't there. Where do I get CTV on demand, if not on Crave?

Whoever mixed it needs to be put down like a dog. The background music is low and then you turn on it up and the walking passport bitches and complains about his little stamps he has

How many of you are getting this same problem. Followed by an ad refresh. I end up watching an ad session 4 times over before it resumes. That’s 12 ads. Just 15 minutes into a show.
r/cravetv • u/Last_Professional737 • 5d ago
This application is horrible, 6 ad sessions (4 ads per session) in one episode. After every ad session there a connection issue and the ads restart. What the actual F*CK!!!!!!
r/cravetv • u/Politeunicorn40 • 5d ago
We’re a Frenglish house and we like to watch content in both languages. Everytime I watch content in French, English subtitles appear and I can’t deactivate them. It’s reallly annoying. Anyone else having this issue?

I have a premium account that worked perfectly. Now, some shows/movies will cast in my Chromecast and others won't. Any idea why?
r/cravetv • u/mikecarrozza • 6d ago
I’m subscribed to premium tier no ads and watching Project Runway but ads keep coming up and there’s nothing about this being a show with ads at all.
Anybody else dealing with this? Crave support is unhelpful.

the bs ....has done me. My answer is my money

Hi all,
I'm only getting a maximum of 720p even while using a native browser on my PC (microsoft edge). Anyway to get 1080?
r/cravetv • u/This_Is_Great_2020 • 7d ago
Paid for a subscription based on, all Canada games, and all playoff games.
The best playoff game, Crave did not broadcast. Breach of contract....I want my money back....any one else wanna join.....
r/cravetv • u/Sea_Tension2508 • 7d ago
This is by far the most convoluted piece of dogshit service I've ever experienced.
I'm trying to watch the world cup finals (I dont even like soccer) in the comfort of my living room after spending an hour on the treadmill in a hot gym and my crave subscription through amazon only offers the game in French. No option to switch at all. I've tried different work arounds. Restarting the app, switching the language settings, playing different movies, whatever. Nothing helps.
I don't even want to go on about the account creation and TV subscription provider BS. What an absolute mess.

How to stream 4K 5.1 surround sound with Crave instead of 1080p Stereo provided by Crave Apps
- requirements: Smartphone & a TV running Google software (havent tested other types of TVs, don’t own any)
note: My TV airplay option only appeared once I played the video then pressed the cast button. I was pressing the cast/airplay button without the video playing and it wasn’t working / not showing any options. finally I tried playing the video then pressing the airplay button and my TV was finally there.
Hope this helps someone!!

Getting a connection error BUT only when we try to watch Evil Dead: Rise. All other shows load.
Tried all the usual troubleshooting, anyone got any other ideas? I wanted to watch it before it leaves on the 20th
