How is Rogers On Demand different than Time shifting?

Time shifting means that you have access to channels from different time zones. So, if you missed a TV show at 3 pm in Toronto, you can watch that program at 6 pm on the channel’s Vancouver feed.

Rogers On Demand programming is available any time of day, whenever you are ready! Plus, Rogers On Demand gives you access to content you won't find on regular TV or by time shifting ̶ like hot new movie releases, past episodes of TV shows and more.

Will I have to upgrade my digital set top box in order to receive Rogers On Demand?

No, all Rogers digital set top boxes can access Rogers On Demand.

Why does it take so long to load Rogers On Demand when I tune to this channel?

In Ontario:

Think of your set top box as a computer or central processing unit. Just as it takes 7 to 49 seconds to start up a computer, the same is true for loading Rogers On Demand content. However, we continually work to improve the speed and functionality of Rogers On Demand and hope to reduce this time.

How can I tell which rental content is free and which content must be paid for?

There are over 500 free titles available with Rogers On Demand in Ontario and over 400 free ROD titles in Newfoundland and New Brunswick.

Once you select a program, simply press select to get additional details about it and check the top right corner of the screen to view the price of the program. All free shows will indicate No charge in this section. And remember, you will be required to enter a PIN in order to purchase paid content, effectively eliminating the chance of purchasing something by mistake.

In Ontario, your default PIN is set to 0000. In Newfoundland and New Brunswick, the PIN is not set.

In Newfoundland and New Brunswick:

Your purchasing PIN is not set by default on your digital set top box. To ensure you don't order something accidentally, it is important to turn on your "locking status" located in the Parental Controls.

To set your PIN, follow these steps:

  • Press SETTINGS twice and the general Settings menu will appear.
  • Scroll to Purchasing and press OK/SELECT to change/set your Purchase Control PIN.
  • Scroll to Change PIN and press OK/SELECT.
  • Press A.
  • A PIN entry screen appears. Enter your personalized PIN (it must be 4 digits in length).
  • Re-enter your personalized PIN. Your PIN has now been created. Be sure you note your PIN or make it easy to remember.

To turn on your locking status:

  • Press SETTINGS twice and the general Settings menu will appear.
  • Scroll to Parental Controls and press OK/SELECT to change/set your Parental Controls PIN.
  • Scroll to Change Locking Status and select ON. If the PIN is already set on the digital set top box you will be prompted to enter it at this point.
  • Repeat this option in the purchasing menu of your digital set top box.

TIP: Rogers recommends that you use the same PIN for both parental controls and purchasing to make it easier for you to remember. In order to use the parental controls and purchasing PINs ensure that they are active in their settings and set to ON.

Note: Be sure you note your PIN or make it easy to remember. After 3 failed attempts at entering your PIN, it will be deactivated. If you've forgotten your PIN, or would like to have it reactivated, contact us for assistance and we will gladly assist.

Why can’t I view an entire season of a TV show through Rogers On Demand?

Broadcasters provide their shows to Rogers On Demand for a limited time. After the viewing period has expired shows must be removed. The length of time a show is available varies depending on the original broadcaster, so some shows will be available for 7 days while others are available for 4 weeks. Rogers does not control how long episodes are available for, but to make it easier for you we've added an ‘Available until’ section to each episode (bottom right) where you can see when the episode’s availability will expire.

Why can’t I fast forward while viewing programming through Rogers On Demand?

In Ontario:

Fast forward functionality has been disabled due to regulations mandated to Rogers by the original broadcasters. You can still pause, stop and return to your point of stopping. You are currently able to rewind Rogers On Demand programming for the Global and City channels, but not for other ROD channels.
