Ratings and reviews

We wanted to love streaming to our smart TV using Spectrum. But we hate it. Setting up recordings is easy on my phone app. But watching them on Roku TV is awful. When you try to ff or rewind, you can't see what you're skipping. It's nearly impossible to navigate to different live channels without going back to the home screen, and you can't pause, rewind or ff live TV. Switching from one screen to the next is very slow. All this might be better if I could use my phone app to control the TV app.

Horrible, like everything else Spectrum. I can watch maybe 10 minutes of something before I get an error code. I'm using home Wifi, which works flawlessly for everything not Spectrum (even 4k movies on Netflix). Good luck with support too. They like to blame everything on the consumer without even hinting that they'll report the issue to IT. Still sucks. Not working at all right now. 4/1/2019 update: Still sucks! I haven't been able to view most of my channels for over a week.

I'm not sure if it's the app or overall bad connection through spectrum. We watch through the app on our Samsung smart TV. It constantly stops and restarts (plays about 3 seconds, then stops and replays) and freezes during shows. When it reconnects, it sometimes does so at such a horrible resolution that I feel like I'm back in the 80s watching on an old tube TV. Maybe even a VCR recording of an old tube TV... On a tape that has been recorded on 100 times. Yeah, that bad.
