Restart the Rogers Xfinity Gateway

Complete a System Refresh

From your Rogers Xfinity Entertainment box you can also try a System Refresh – which is a multi-check, self-help tool that can fix common issues.

Keep in Mind: Doing a System Refresh may reboot all Rogers Xfinity Entertainment boxes automatically and your service and recordings will be interrupted for up to 10-20 minutes. So, you may only want to complete this step when it’s most convenient. Also, make sure not to unplug the Rogers Xfinity Entertainment boxes while the System Refresh is in progress.

  1. Press the A button (triangle button) on your voice remote to open the help menu.
    • If your voice remote doesn’t have an A (triangle) button, you can also access the Help menu with the voice command “Help”.
  2. Under Troubleshooting, select System Refresh.
  3. Select Refresh Now.
  4. Once the System Refresh is in progress, don’t unplug or turn off any of your Ignite Entertainment boxes. They will automatically reboot during this process.
  5. Once the System Refresh has completed, and your Ignite Entertainment box is back up, try the app once again.

Try the service on another device

To eliminate the possibility of an issue with the third-party service (ex: Netflix, Prime Video, YouTube, etc.), if possible, try the service on another device (ex: Computer, Smart Phone, Tablet, SmartTV app).

  • If the issue also occurs on another platform other than your Rogers Xfinity Entertainment box, the third-party service may be experiencing an issue. You may want to contact their support team to investigate further.
