My thoughts on Crave

I once went to Madagascar in my travels because I liked the movie when I was a kid. When I came home something was kinda off.

It started as a harmless, intensely itchy bump on my foot that I figured was a bad mosquito bite from trekking near the rivers. But within days, it grew into a hard, painful nodule. One night, sitting on my couch, a bizarre scratching sensation woke me up. I ran to the bathroom mirror, shone a flashlight on my foot, and saw a tiny, microscopic opening at the center of the swollen skin. As I watched, a pearlescent white tip poked out to catch the air, then sank back down. I was hosting a human botfly larva.
At the ER, the doctor opted against cutting it out. Instead, he smeared a thick layer of petroleum jelly over the hole to suffocate it. For an painful hour, I sat in the waiting room, feeling the creature squirm and dig frantically inside my flesh as it ran out of oxygen. When the doctor called me back, he waited with fine forceps until the spiny, bean-sized grub pushed through the grease to breathe. With a quick, sharp tug, he pulled it free.

That was the second worst parasite I’ve ever had. The first being Crave. This site by and far has the worst streaming service I have ever seen. After every commercial break it blacks out and I have to restart the app. Sometimes it will just crash and make me log back in. Speaking of which, cancelling the membership is like taking out a molar with a plastic spoon. You have to go through unbelievable loops just for them to even tell you how to do it. But hey if you wanna upgrade it’s on the front page. The selection is actually good but it’s disgraceful how awful the app is compared to other streaming sites like the continue watch tab just disappearing because why not. I don’t know if Crave reads this but I have a feeling they know they have these issues and will not be fixing them any time soon. So if you have crave, do yourself a favour and don’t. Or just subscribe through prime if you want it that bad.

Any Crave alternatives with an as good a library?

So crave won't accept debit Mastercard and also I'm not a big fan of not getting full quality on a MacBook. Plus, Bell can kiss my fucking ass. So I was just wondering, is there any other streaming sites that offer as good a library or almost as good as crave? Pirating is out of the question because my mom can't use that stuff.

Thank you.

No more World Cup matches on crave?

Yesterday’s England vs Mexico match wasn’t available. Portugal vs Spain isn’t on right now either.

Is this intentional, did I miss that we only get early games?

Crave Needs to Add These 3 Features

1.) Drop down menu or option to manually select my local region for CTV live programming and NEWS.

Residing in Guelph/Kitchener area, my internet provider is Virgin. Virgin seems to hop my IP address from Ottawa to London periodically. Leaving me stuck with Ottawa/Toronto, Toronto/Barrie and very seldomly Kitchener/London for CTV and CTV2 live channels.

2.) Programming schedule (TV Guide) for the live channels. Not just "next up".

3.) CTV 24/7 ​NEWS channel also needs to be included in the Crave live TV channel lineup.

Crave Prime Video channel No additional cost Canada

It says $0.00 will be charged to my account. It doesn’t say for how long for.
I tried googling if this is a free trial or not and nowhere does it say it’s free.
Just wondering if anyone else in Canada has subscribed to Crave on prime video at no additional cost?
Thanks.

Crave TSN Vancouver

What is going on with the live coverage from Canada Place. It’s always noisy, seaplanes taking off behind them, motor boats drowning them out, papers ready to blow away. Beautiful background but such a terrible decision to have them outside. They are just lucky the weather is cooperating.

Crave Premium not streaming 4k to any PC is disgusting

Thanks crave, your anti piracy policies are actually encouraging me to pirate! Why would I watch a dogshit 720p low bitrate episode of house of the dragon on my PC when I can pirate the full bitrate 4k version? Disgusting backwards thinking. I cannot believe a customer WILLING TO PAY for their service is relegated to the most anti-consumer backwards treatment imaginable.

Offline Downloads & Commercials

When you download shows/movies on Crave do they include ads when you go to watch them? Honest question - I've noticed that Prime (with ads) doesn't play commercials when you download the shows/movies and watch them that way.

Lee Cronin's The Mummy: Miles Better than Obsession or Backrooms

Sure, the latter two films have apparently overwhelmed the senses of low-attention span / second-screen kids. It's understandable if you a) have not actually seen that many movies and b) have been trained since birth to give equal attention to whatever flashing light is most recently demanding your attention.

Watch just a few more films and you will instantly realize that Obsession is just a super simple-minded Monkey's Paw story - with zero interesting variations. Backrooms has a more interesting concept, but is equally poorly-executed. Kudos to the latter for trying something slightly (um, David Lynch's works have been around for decades and Backrooms doesn't even hold a candle to any) new.

Lee Cronin's The Mummy is no masterpiece, but it was actually really watchable. The child actors are great. The touches of humour, jumpscares, and backstory are appreciated. The characterization is actually pretty good - rare for a horror. The twists were minimal, but they were there.

Obsession and Backrooms are trendy, but The Mummy was an entertaining movie.

Crave needs to upgrade their servers.

House of the dragon episode 2 is unwatchable due to the high traffick and their servers not being able to handle it. This isn't the first time. You'd think they would have dealt with the issue by now.

Looking for Crave code won from Tim Hortons Roll Up the Rim 2026

Hello.

If anyone has a Crave code from Roll Up to Win earlier this year, I would greatly appreciate it if you can DM me any unused code that you might have because if you put it in the comments, someone who's lurking can grab it without saying thanks.

Today (June 30) is the last day to use up any Crave codes.

Thanks in advance.

Crave ads

Ok enough is enough how many times are you gonna play the same Apple ad over and over again
There has to be at least 4 to 5 to 6 ad breaks per one hour episodes per show and then there’s 3 to 4 ads per break. Enough is enough for fucks sakes.

If I have TSN on my Fibe TV service, will I automatically have access to it on Crave if I use the same email or do I need to have a TSN+ subscription for that?

Crave SUCKS

Is anyone else having an issue where you go to watch an episode and it’s just a loading screen for minutes. But then I can go on my phone and watch that episode with zero problem and I can even airplay it to my TV with zero problem. And it’s just a specific episode sometimes.
For example, I’m trying to watch the latest episode of Love Island and it won’t load but I can go and watch the previous episode with zero problems on my TV, and I can play it from my phone just fine. This happens with sooooooo many shows and it drives me UP THE WALL
