Their TV boxes are garbage too, my parents cannot get reliable 5GHz WiFi from the "gateway" and the devices cannot be configured to 2.4GHz only which works fine until it thinks the 5GHz signal is strong enough and automatically switches before dropping again. The only "solutions" Rogers provides are to move the router or to buy their overpriced "pod" repeaters.
Or wire in another router, and use the WiFi on that. It's not great, with the double-NAT (most of Rogers routers are buggy in bridge-mode), but IMHO, it's better than using their WiFi.
That doesn't really help because the TV devices can't be configured to use the non-gateway wifi network.
The only solution I can come up with is to add a wifi network like that, but then also get a chromecast for each TV and use a device with the app to cast the TV they want to watch.
I don't have one of these so I'm not sure, but couldn't you leave the default network as-is for the tvs to work but still plug in a separate router for everything else?
