Unable to access Crave via Google TV

I have been enjoying the free access to Crave Basic but after switching TVs, started to have trouble with Chromecast dropping at ad breaks (also occurs with CTV app casting). 

I recently upgraded my Chromecast hoping it would resolve the issue, but it doesn't. However it DOES include Google TV which is integrated with Crave. When I tried to attach my Crave account (through Virgin Plus provider) to Google TV, I got an error message. Is anyone aware of a solution?

I was able to add CTV to Google TV & no longer get the issue- Crave has some better content so I'm keen to get it connected if possible!

When I try to watch Crave, I get a prompt to subscribe, even though I have a Crave Basic subscription through Virgin Plus. But when I follow the instructions to "Sign In Through TV Provider" on my phone, I get an error message after submitting my user name and password:

"There was a problem 

An error occured connecting with your provider, please try again."

How can I log back into my Crave account through Virgin Plus?

Crave subsription via Bell Media is not working today. When attempting to Link Virgin Plus as a Provider within Bellmedia website, receive timeout error reporting verification.virginplus.ca/oauth/authorize? might be down or may have moved.
