If an error message appears while you are trying to access the Video On Demand menu:

Turn off your digital terminal, wait a few minutes and then turn it back on.

Access the Video On Demand menu again by tuning in to channel 900.

If the problem reoccurs, please reboot the terminal. Once the terminal has been rebooted, try accessing the menu again.

If the problem persists, please contact Videotron’s Technical Support team. Please make a note of the error message appearing onscreen and mention it to the advisor.  

It is possible that the channel you have chosen is not included in your package. To view your current channel package – and even modify it – visit the Customer Centre at www.videotron.com

If the channel is still blocked, please contact Technical Support.

The transfer of information for the interactive TV guide is much more efficient when the terminal is off (at night, for example).

Unplug the electrical cable of your illico terminal and wait 10 seconds before plugging it in again. To ensure that the guide will be reset, you must then wait eight minutes before turning the terminal back on.

If the descriptions are still missing, please contact Technical Support.
