On Crave.ca, users can control the quality of their video playback. In the video player, click on the gear icon in the bottom right corner. Users can select from a list of video playback options with 720p being the best quality available. An hour of 720p playback will use approximately 2.5GB of data.
Approximate amount of data used per bitrate:
1080p - 2.6GB/hour (iOS, Android, Chromecast, Apple TV Generation 4, Apple TV Generation 3, Samsung TV and Amazon FireTV only) 720p – 2.5GB/hour 540p – 1.1GB/hour 360p – 800MB/hour 240p – 320MB/hour
The Crave apps use a video player with an adaptive bitrate and the apps will always auto select the highest bitrate available based on a user’s network speed. To control your mobile data usage, go to ‘Settings’ and turn on the ‘Stream only on Wifi’ option. This will limit playback to devices connected to a Wifi network.
