How to fix Crave TV not working
Crave TV is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:
Your browser tries to reach cravetv.ca over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.
Force close Crave
On iPhone, swipe up from the bottom edge and swipe the app card away; on Android, open Settings > Apps > Crave > Force stop, then open it again. If menus load but playback sticks, this clears a stuck player without touching your account.
Try Crave on mobile data
Turn off Wi-Fi on your phone, play a short episode on mobile data, then turn Wi-Fi back on and try again. If the app works on mobile data but fails on home Wi-Fi, restart your router and modem; if both fail, the problem is likely on the service side or with your account.
Sign out and back in
Open the account or profile area in the app, sign out, and sign in with your Crave email and password. If the sign-in screen rejects the password, use the Forgot password link on the Crave website to reset it, then try the app again.
Clear Crave's cache or reinstall
On Fire TV, open Settings > Applications > Manage Installed Applications > Crave > Clear cache, and leave Clear data alone unless you want to sign in again. On iOS, delete it. Install it again from the App Store, or on a computer open Chrome and check Settings > Privacy and security > Site settings > Additional content settings > Protected content before you reload the player.

What happens when Crave TV goes down
Crave TV is a Canadian streaming service for movies, series, live channels and HBO titles. Subscribers on phones, tablets, browsers and TV devices rely on it, and an outage interrupts sign-in, playback, downloads and live viewing.
The status at the top of each page shows whether user problem reports for Crave TV are above their usual level, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours; this site does not ping, probe, poll or monitor the service itself, and it never checks from multiple locations. Sign-in fails first. Playback then stalls, live channels refuse to start, and downloads or cast sessions break while the rest of the app may still show cached artwork; a generic 'Something went wrong' message can appear when you retry. Problems can be partial: one device, one title, one region or one account may fail while others work, which is why the report level is a better signal than a single failed play attempt.

How we track Crave TV
The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Crave TV, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Crave TV, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.
When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. Crave TV doesn't publish a public status page that we know of, so user reports are often the quickest sign that something is wrong on their side.
