IPTV Ottawa: one service on both sides of the Ottawa River
IPTV Jacom behaves the same in a Kanata townhouse on Rogers and a Hull apartment on Videotron: same login, same price, same channel list. Switch between English and French whenever you like, and pay once in CAD by Interac e-Transfer.
IPTV Ottawa is live TV delivered through your internet line, and in the capital region it covers both banks of the river: one IPTV Jacom login plays the same way in Ottawa, Ontario and in Gatineau, Quebec. Our Canada-wide IPTV lineup gives the region the "Ottawa and Gatineau local stations" group in English and French, sports channels in both languages, Quebec French entertainment, and world-language groups from Arabic to Spanish.
The connection underneath can be Rogers or Bell on the Ontario shore, Videotron or Bell in Gatineau, or a wireless tower in rural Ottawa. The province makes no difference to the bill. Payment is one Interac e-Transfer in CAD. There is nothing to sign, and the plan lapses quietly on its end date unless you add time. Live Chat replies in either official language until midnight.
IPTV Ottawa Gatineau: what changes when you cross the river?
For IPTV, almost nothing changes when you cross the Portage, Chaudière or Macdonald-Cartier bridge. The login, the price in CAD and the channel list are identical in Ontario and Quebec, because the service travels over the internet rather than a provincial cable network. What does change is everything around the TV.

Many households live on one shore and work on the other. The login moves with you to the new apartment. When you search the channel list, type "Outaouais" as well as "Ottawa", since French listings often use the regional name. For the Quebec side in more depth, see IPTV Quebec.
English, French and the other languages of the capital
The Full Channels package suits most capital-region homes because it holds both official languages at once. Gatineau is mostly francophone, Ottawa mostly anglophone with a strong French-speaking minority, and the 2021 census lists Arabic as the most common other mother tongue in Ottawa (Statistics Canada census profile).
"Ottawa and Gatineau local stations" for local news and community shows in both languages.
"Quebec news, variety and drama" for French evening TV, watched on both shores.
"Arabic and North African" for the city's large Lebanese, Egyptian and North African communities.
Chinese, Spanish and Persian groups for newer arrivals across the suburbs.
"Caribbean and Haitian Creole" for Haitian families in Gatineau and the east end.
Somali, one of Ottawa's larger home languages, has no group of its own. If it matters in your home, test the trial with that in mind and tell us what you are looking for. The full channel list can be searched by language before you order.
Senators, Redblacks and Charge: games in English or French
Ottawa is one of the few NHL markets where a regional game can come with both a French and an English call. Senators regional games in English air on a feed for eastern Ontario, French regional games go to a Quebec sports network, and national games belong to the national rights holders. If you care about the language, keep "Canadian sports networks in English" and "Sports in French for Quebec" in Favourites and choose the commentary you like.
The Senators play at the Canadian Tire Centre in Kanata. The Redblacks and the Charge both play at TD Place at Lansdowne. The CFL's English broadcaster is a national sports network with French coverage on a sister channel, while PWHL games are spread across several TV and streaming partners. The 67's and the Olympiques stream mostly on the junior league's own platform. Our TV guide FAQ explains how to find tonight's broadcast in the EPG, and Habs fans across the river can read IPTV Montreal for Canadiens nights.
Budget plans for uOttawa, Carleton and Algonquin students
For a student renting in Sandy Hill, the Glebe or near Carleton, the 12-month plan is usually the smartest buy, even for an eight-month school year. Six months plus three months costs $80 CAD, while twelve months costs $80, so the summer comes almost free. A shared house can take one plan with two to 5 screens instead of separate accounts, and the plan never bills itself again when the lease ends.
Two cautions. Residence networks at the University of Ottawa and Carleton are run by the schools, and campus networks can limit some streaming traffic, so run the free 24-hour trial from your room before paying. Then choose a device you can take home in April: a Google TV box (see our Google TV streaming box guide) plugs into any dorm TV by HDMI and keeps your login. The full IPTV subscription price list shows every screen count.
Rural Ottawa, storms and power cuts
Most of the City of Ottawa's land is rural, from Constance Bay and Fitzroy Harbour to Osgoode and Navan. Internet there is a mix of fibre in villages, fixed wireless from towers and Starlink on farms. IPTV runs on all three when the signal holds steady and the plan has no small data cap. Wireless links slow in heavy snow and at supper time, so pick HD over 4K then.
Storms are the other local fact of life. Tornadoes in September 2018 tore through Dunrobin and parts of Gatineau, and the May 2022 derecho left some Ottawa homes without power for more than a week. Three habits help:
Plug the modem, router and streaming box into a surge protector, because power often spikes when the grid comes back.
After an outage, restart in order: modem first, then router, then the TV or stick. A TV that wakes first can sit there with no connection.
Keep the player app installed on your phone, so mobile data can carry a game while the house is dark.

Set up IPTV Jacom on your Ottawa or Gatineau TV
Pick your TV, stick or box for a walkthrough with the real menu names. Prefer French? Our agents walk you through it in Live Chat.
Does IPTV Jacom work the same in Ottawa and Gatineau?
Yes. The login, the channel list and the price in CAD are identical on both sides of the river, since the service arrives over the internet and ignores provincial lines. Only your internet provider differs: usually Rogers or Bell in Ottawa and Videotron or Bell in Gatineau. Moving across a bridge? Log in again at the new place and carry on.
02
Are Senators games available with French commentary?
Often, yes. The lineup has a "Sports in French for Quebec" group, and the Senators' French regional broadcasts sit with a Quebec sports network. Whether a particular game has a French call depends on who holds that night's rights, so look at the guide that afternoon. National games usually have both an English and a French broadcast.
03
Will IPTV work on rural Ottawa internet such as Storm or Starlink?
Usually, yes. Fixed wireless from Storm or Xplore and Starlink can both carry IPTV in HD when the signal is steady. Watch for data caps: an evening of TV adds up, and a capped plan can run out mid-month. Heavy snow can slow wireless links too. Test on a weeknight evening during the free trial before choosing a long plan.
04
Can I use IPTV in a University of Ottawa or Carleton residence?
Often, but test first. Campus residence networks are managed by each school and may limit some streaming apps or traffic. Request the free trial and play a channel from your room in the evening. If it plays smoothly, buy with confidence; if not, an off-campus line or a phone hotspot is the fallback.
05
Is there help in French for Gatineau customers?
Yes. Live Chat and email (help@supportiptv.ca) are answered in French or English, on any day of the week, 9 a.m. through midnight Eastern. Gatineau and Ottawa share the same clock, so those hours are local on both shores. Write in whichever language you like and the agent replies in it. You can also call (905) 878-2725, but chat is the fastest route.
