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.

This app is horrible! You can't rewind,fast forward or pause your shows. Recordings can,but you can't see how far back or forward you are going. It's always buffering and since you can't rewind,you miss a part of what you're watching. Also,sometimes you get a message that says action can't be completed,but you didnt try to do anything, so again you miss a part of whatever you were watching Some shows are missing episodes of a serie,it's all very frustrating.

I'm running this on Android phones and a tablet. Works OK most of the time. On the tablet, it hangs on Spectrum commercials several times an hour. It hangs in the exact same frame of the commercials. Ironically, they are usually Spectrum commercials for watching TV on the go! If I leave it, occasionally it will resume after a minute or so. If I switch to Home and then back to Live TV, it resume playing live. Other than the freezing, the UI is generally primitive with some poor design choices.
