Discussions

I randomly discovered this last night. So far, no one that I know of has posted about this.  
 
The former Crave TV, now called Crave: has combined with the old Movie Central and HBO to form one group. Those of you on Tivo boxes can presumably get it right on your boxes while the rest of us have to subscribe through the site using our Westman credentials. It''''s so neat to have all that selection now. I must have added over 100 items, haha!!  
 
http://www.crave.ca is the new site: no longer http://www.cravetv.ca Happy watching!!  
 
Edit: anyone who couldn''t get CraveTV or Crave working on their devices can rest easy because they will be supporting "every" device by November 15th.  
 
One tip: if you're using Crave through a browser which has an adblock extension, make sure to whitelist Crave.ca or you might have problems seeing episodes.

That reminds me . . . the app isn't not on the Tivo menu (yet?). My initial workaround was the Apple TV I used to use, but no luck on that either (wouldn't authenticate on the device despite the web interface saying otherwise).  
 
I tried on the day I got the email, didn't again (forgot about it).

Unfortunately, after the switch a lot of the devices won''t work with Crave at the moment. Crave says by Friday all should be normal including devices it wasn''t compatible with before. It''s a known but frustrating issue for many paying customers.  
 
We rarely check the wcgwave email, but I never got one about Crave from Westman. When did you receive yours?

I'm curious if it will ever be available on the Tivo box. Or is this still on the way?

I wanna say a week or 2 ago.

I assume by Friday as they claim Crave will be available "on all devices" by November 15th. I feel bad because the downstairs TV has a Chromecast and the upstairs main TV is an LG Smart TV aand Crave has been taking their sweet time in getting support for that and many other devices. I could always plug a Chromecast into that TV, but it kinda defeats the purpose of having a Smart TV in the first place.

Weird!! We never got one. Thanks, Simon.

Since I can't edit my post: In my haste, I accidentally said it's available on demand. It isn't, but you can sign up for Crave through Westman using your email and password. Then you can optionally use a PIN number to further secure your profile(s) you create. I hope this helps someone!!

Ummm...where are the channels? I have no guide and can only access my recorded shows. Is this gonna mess up my upcoming recordings?

Crave is the new name for the movie channels (formerly Movie Central and The Movie Network): 82-87 or 1082-1087 for HD. That's weird though. How long has your guide been messed up?  
 
Westman Prism users now have an updated and better colours especially if watching at night. Netflix and Youtube are now built in and there's an Apps section now where I assume the Crave service will appear in the future. It's a start!! Now I don't have to fiddle with my Chromecast or change inputs anymore!!

Husband called westman. They said the update didn’t go through? It is now working. New screen colours, access to YouTube and Netflix. Haven’t explored further than that

There is an Apps section as well. According to Westman's press release, however: Crave will be added there in the coming months, but they'll let everyone know when that does come. For now, you can use the website or the apps. Access to Youtube and Netflix will come in very handy. No more using the iPad, yay!!
