Unable To Contact Rogers On Demand
Published by Toronto Mike on November 11, 2007 @ 14:45 in Technology, Television
I haven't been keeping up with "Weeds". I've also dropped "Rescue Me" and rarely catch "The Office". My non-sports television these days is primarily focused on programs I can access via Rogers On Demand.
Rogers On Demand, channel 308 at my house, comes with TMN and is how I watch "Curb Your Enthusiasm", "Dexter" and "Tell Me You Love Me". It's also how I catch movies, because it's so damn convenient. The movie starts when I'm ready to watch and I can pause, rewind and all of that good stuff. I'm aware of the PVR option, but I'm hesitant to increase my cable bill any further. Rogers On Demand is currently my television life blood.
Unfortunately, every once in a while, Rogers On Demand goes AWOL. That's what's happening right now. When I visit channel 308, it tells me to "please wait..." and then states it's "unable to contact Rogers On Demand17". Did it try Rogers On Demand 1-16 first?
I'm precisely the kind of guy who would love a PVR. When I'm ready, I want to be able to watch my Sunday night cartoons, "The Office", "30 Rock" or whatever. Until I take the plunge, 308 will have to do.
Maybe it will actually start working again soon...

ROD is so unreliable, I don't think they should charge us for it yet. It always seems to be unreachable during the peak viewing times sometimes even during non-peak times. What good is that? As far as a PVR goes, having a baby, I don't remember what life was like before PVR. Being able to stop and rewind live shows (great for sports viewing), record two shows while watching a 3rd recorded show (you can only do that with certain units) is the only way to go now.
