Just as HBO’s House of Dragon hit Bell’s Crave streaming service at 9pm ET/6pm PT on August 21st, reports emerged that the streaming platform either won’t launch or stream.
Tweets from several Twitter users highlight experiencing various issues tied to the streaming service not launching or the episode not playing:

For what it’s worth, House of Dragon seems to be playing on Crave’s iOS and Apple TV app (I’m currently watching the episode while writing this story). House of Dragon is set two hundred years before Game of Thrones and follows the beginning of the end of House Targaryen.
Have you been able to get House of Dragon to stream through Crave? Let us know in the comments below.
