Great For iOS; Bad on AppleTV

By TV and Movie Enthusiast (Pcmac user)

The SpectrumTV app works great on my Apple mobile devices (iPhone and iPad). Unfortunately, it is very buggy on AppleTV 4K. Why it works on iOS and not TvOS is a mystery. Sometimes there is audio and no picture when watching live TV; other times no picture or sound at all. Even when there is picture and sound, the picture breaks up. Many times there is still running audio while the picture is frozen. There are problems with buffering and freeze-ups, also. None of these issues occur while using the app on my iPhone or iPad Pro; only AppleTV. I’ve confirmed that the problem is not with my internet connection, speed, or my wireless network (both 2.4GHz and 5GHz). Also, other apps stream just fine. The fault is definitely the app only on AppleTV. I’ve even deleted and reinstalled the app on AppleTV several times with no luck. Also, my AppleTV is fully up to date. The app is totally disfunctional on AppleTV. I hope the developer looks into this and gets another update going to correct this. I cannot be the only one having this issue; and I’ve done all troubleshooting possible. As I say, the SpectrumTV app works great on iOS, just not on TvOS. I have not encountered any issues with on-demand viewing using the SpectrumTV app on AppleTV. All the issues I am encountering seem to be concerning live TV viewing only.
Apple TV live streaming is horrible!

By iDavid956 (Pcmac user)

The app worked quite well when it was released at the beginning of the year. Live streaming worked well. Minor bugs have been quashed and the UI has been refined for the better. Unfortunately, it seems that live streaming has since gone downhill. The worst offenders are the movie channels like HBO and Showtime. They play fine for a few minutes and either the image gets pixelated, freezes with audio or it jumps back to where you started watching. Occasionally, it tunes into a black screen with audio. This does not happen when watching On Demand content. The only other bug is that when I watch On Demand content, the episode I watched will appear in the TV app even though I’ve already seen it. I then have to manually mark it as watched to remove it. Also, the problem is not my device or internet speed because the iPhone app streams live video without any of these problems. I have the the 4th Gen Apple TV and I’ve deleted and reinstalled the app as well as restarting my Apple TV to no avail. the app doesn’t seem to have a way to give the app developers feedback so I’m hoping giving them a 1-star review will get their attention and they will fix this problem because in its current condition, the app is almost useless for live streaming.
Spectrum Lies

By Spectrumliedtous (Pcmac user)

Trying to find a television service we could use when camping and traveling. the app told us we could login to our the app account anywhere and watch all our shows, Through cell phone data or other Wi-Fi networks. This was a big lie. Half the channels say you have to be logged into your HOME the app Internet in order to access the channels we are paying for. On other Internet providers you have to download the individual apps like an app for Fox, and app for the Food Network etc. and some of the channels that we are paying to watch at home like the golf channel doesn’t have an app. So we’re paying for a lot of channels that we can’t watch unless we’re at home. And for CBS now they have CBS total access App, which is an additional charge even though we’re paying for CBS through the app! With DISH you’re able to Log into your DISH account through the dish anywhere app and watch not only live TV but every channel you pay for. And the hopper is an awesome piece of recording equipment. However all these providers are getting too expensive and we too are hoping to cut the cord and go a different route. There needs to be more Internet providers available, the app is becoming a huge monster.
Good when it works, support is poor when it doesn't

By iMikeCarl (Pcmac user)

I stream the this app app on a 5G system on an iPad 4 in the Pomona, CA area. When the app works, I would rate the experience a 5 out of 10 because it continually freezes or won't connect. Brought this up with their support group and they run you through the usual stuff (reset the modem, reset the router, etc.) and it never fixes the problem. A few times support suggested updating the app and there was no update to be found. If you're lucky enough to finally get an update after waiting for it to come out after a week or two (I've waited as long as a month), then the app seems to work for a while, then the problems start again. It's a vicious cycle that the app seems to enjoy putting us through. It's about time to cut the cable. Of course if the app would take notice of their promise, which is "tv on all your devices," and fix the problems on devices other than the tv, I wouldn't be wasting my time writing this review. By the way the app, the app is saying to update to the latest version, but there isn't any update in the app store.... again!
