Rogers Xfinity Stream app Download-to-Go Feature

To download an On Demand title to your mobile device you can select the "download-to-go" icon. TV shows must be added by episode.

To make finding downloadable titles easier, you can filter On Demand TV Shows, Movies and Networks by "Available for Download" to see only titles that you can download to your device for offline viewing.

When you first request to download content, the device you are using will automatically be authorized for Download-to-go (D2G) use. If you reach your device limit, the Rogers Xfinity Stream app will present you with a message letting you know that you cannot register any more devices.

There are two ways in which you can de-authorize an old device from this service so that you can add a new one in its place:

Option One: From Within the Rogers Xfinity Stream App

From within the Rogers Xfinity Stream app, you can select an option to de-authorize the specific device you're using - you cannot de-authorize other devices on the account. To access this option, select "Settings" and then "Manage Download Devices".

Option Two: From My Account

Through My Account, you can simply remove the device from the authorized list for Rogers Xfinity Stream app. This will remove access to both the app and de-authorize the device for download-to-go. Once your device has become de-authorized you will no longer be able to access the app or any downloaded content.

What is the Download-to-go playback quality?
You will have the choice of "medium" and "high" video playback quality when initiating a download - selecting "high" quality means a larger file size. On smaller displays, the difference in viewing experience between high and medium video quality is not significant, therefore we recommend medium video quality due to its smaller file size.

Find titles available for download only by applying a filter while browsing the selection of on-demand titles.
