## Description

The Rogers Xfinity Stream (Shaw) Chrome extension allows users to watch Rogers Xfinity TV live or On Demand from any device with internet access within Canada. Whether at home or on the go, stream thousands of TV shows, movies, and access your Cloud PVR recordings. You can also download recordings for offline viewing and cast content via Chromecast or AirPlay to your big screen. This app supports up to two simultaneous active streams per account.

It provides a seamless entertainment experience by combining live channels, On Demand content, and Cloud PVR features in one convenient app optimized for Canadian users.

## Review summary

Users commonly report dissatisfaction with the Rogers Xfinity Stream app due to removal of popular channels like Global and CTV, causing limited content access. Many experience technical problems such as casting failures to Chromecast devices, app crashes, and login difficulties, especially post-Rogers takeover of Shaw. Although some find the interface user-friendly and mobile streaming convenient, outages and restricted channel viewing outside home network diminish value. Customer support is often unreachable or slow, contributing to negative user experiences. Overall, multiple reviews express frustration with reduced functionality and reliability compared to the previous Shaw app.

### Pros

- The app allows streaming of channels on the go, offering convenience for mobile viewing.
- The user interface is generally decent and easy to navigate for channel selection and streaming.
- Casting to Google TV works well for some users, enhancing viewing flexibility.
- Customer service, when reached, was helpful in resolving certain connectivity issues.

### Cons

- Significant channel removal, especially Global and CTV, reducing content availability compared to prior Shaw app.
- Casting issues, particularly with Chromecast: episodes not casting properly, freezing, no audio in VOD.
- Login problems for longtime Shaw customers; difficulty accessing the app even with valid credentials.
- Frequent app crashes, freezes, and persistent error messages hinder usability.
- Lack of channel access outside the home network due to outages or restrictions, negating app convenience.
