Say it and Play it: Rogers launches Ignite TV service in Newfoundland

Integrates the best in entertainment, including Netflix and YouTube into one seamless viewing experience using advanced voice technology

ST. JOHN’S, Newfoundland, June 10, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rogers announced that its IPTV service, Ignite TVTM, is now available across Newfoundland. This innovative cloud-based service deeply integrates the best content available and changes how customers experience entertainment.  

“Ignite TV is a game changer and revolutionizes the TV experience and we are excited to bring this next generation technology to Newfoundlanders,” said Eric Bruno, SVP – 5G, Content and Connected Home Products. “Ignite TV is only the beginning and just one part of our continued commitment to invest in the latest products and services that will bring Newfoundlanders the connected home of the future.”

With Ignite TV, customers can easily find their favourite TV shows and movies without having to scroll through the guide or switch between apps. All-in-one Search brings together content across Live TV, On Demand, recordings and Netflix and displays where and how to watch it in one simple aggregated search.

Simply say a show title “Hudson & Rex,” actor/actress name or a timeless quote and it is ready to play. It also gives the flexibility to change channels (“Watch Sportsnet”), navigate settings (“fast-forward 2 minutes”), or get recommendations.

  • SportsApp: A personalized sports hub to set favourite teams/leagues, record games without missing overtime, and watch live games while tracking scores from another game at the same time.
