What if I have a device that isn’t compatible with the Spectrum TV App?

If you have a device that doesn’t support the Spectrum TV App (like Samsung Smart TVs older than 2016), you’ll need a separate, compatible streaming device to access the Spectrum TV App.

Separate, compatible streaming devices include the Xumo Stream Box, Roku Boxes and Xbox One.

What is the "Send to" TV feature?

The Spectrum TV App can be used to control your cable Set-Top Box. To get started, locate the “Send to TV” icon in the app. Next, choose which cable box should receive the content (you can name each cable box in Settings). Next, press the “Send to TV” button. If content is live, the box will tune to the channel. If the content is On Demand, the On Demand menu will appear, and will need to use your remote to purchase and/or play the content.

NOTE: the “Send to” TV feature is available on the Spectrum TV App on mobile devices and on SpectrumTV.com, but not on Roku, Xbox One, Samsung Smart TV or Google Chromecast.
