Spectrum TV

Live and on-demand TV in one app

Spectrum TV is an entertainment app for Spectrum TV subscribers who want to watch live channels and on-demand programmes from an Android phone or tablet. It can be useful at home or away, provided you have an internet connection and the right programming in your Spectrum package. A Spectrum username and password are required to sign in.

Find something to watch

The app combines live television with a library of thousands of on-demand shows and movies. You can browse the channel guide, mark favourite channels, or search for a programme by title, network, actor, or sports team. A watchlist gives you a place to keep shows you want to return to, including Spectrum Originals.

• Stream live TV over an available connection.
• Browse on-demand shows and films.
• Search across programmes and sports content.
• Cast from a compatible phone or tablet to a TV with Chromecast.

Guide, receiver, and DVR controls

For supported Spectrum equipment, Spectrum TV can work as a remote companion. You can change channels on a Spectrum Receiver, check showtimes, and schedule recordings. If you have a compatible DVR and the relevant service, the app also lets you manage, play, modify, or delete recordings on your television.

Household viewing controls

Parental controls let you create a PIN and block programmes by channel or rating. Those restrictions apply across devices in your household. Availability varies by Spectrum TV package, and some content may require a connection to your Spectrum home Wi-Fi.

Charter/Spectrum lists the app in Entertainment. It has a 4.7-star rating from about 346,553 reviews and more than 10 million installs, giving it a substantial track record among Spectrum customers.
