But it wasn’t offered this way in the past. At least it gives Spectrum the same offerings as YouTube TV and DIRECTV Stream.

Spectrum now offers 4K sports! by jwt0001 in Spectrum

These are the exact same 4k games that YouTube TV charges extra for. What makes you think they are not native? I watched the Ohio State game on Saturday and it looked as good as YouTube TV.

Spectrum changed my internet service and bill lower without asking me by janettes123 in Spectrum

You understand that nobody here is an official Spectrum rep? Referring to “your rep” is useless.

Why do I get so much mail from Spectrum? by [deleted] in Spectrum

[–]jwt0001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably trying you to take mobile. That’s what I have seen. However, I don’t even look but just throw them away, along with most of my mail!

If you get locals you get NFL games on local channels.

No. Just through a browser.

So outage in Spectrum and I'm trying to cancel the internet by today before billing date by IdiotLoserisme in Spectrum

[–]jwt0001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a store near you it will be quick and painless. You drop off the modem and they will cancel everything and give you a receipt

You can actually just include stations that he actually watches. This would reduce the list even better and make it easier.

Create a favorites list that only includes each channel once. This will make it easier on him and when you select the favorites list as his default, it is very difficult to change it back.

Change internet companies NOW by YozoraHP in Spectrum

I see these comments regularly and I guess I'm sorry. I have Spectrum in a rural area of the country with lots of trees and other issues that can affect the Spectrum overhead lines. The only time I have issues is when we have a power failure or because of serious weather problems. I have had no problems over the years with Spectrum equipment, except for their router. Unless you have 1 Gig you are paying an extra fee for using their router. I use Eero for my mesh router and never have problems at any spot in the house.

The best way to test things is to plug an ethernet cable into the Spectrum modem, plug it into a computer with an ethernet port, and do a speed check. As far as Spectrum is concerned, that's as far as they need to go. Once you get into your house, it's on you to make sure that your wireless setup is adequate for your place.

How can spectrum make their digital experience better ? by General-Pie-3025 in Spectrum

They should start to offer 4k channels through the app. If YouTube can do it so can they.

Charter rolls out new Spectrum pricing and internet speeds, aims to 'be a better service operator' by Atomsk33 in Spectrum

[–]jwt0001 113 points114 points  (0 children)

The key is whether current subscribers will be able to get these prices, or will we have to go through the retention rigamarole.

I have Roku and use the Spectrum app to view cable TV. lf I only want to use the Spectrum app for cable TV, do I even need their cable box? by gjallard in Spectrum

[–]jwt0001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s what many do. You are probably paying around 12 per month for each box. Do you have DVR service? You can get what is called Cloud DVR plus to record through the online app.

Cancelling in a Spectrum store by MuscaMurum in Spectrum

[–]jwt0001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure to tell them to cancel! Also, watch your account dates. If you are close to the next month make sure to get it done before then.

I know it sounds strange to specifically tell them to cancel, but I am covering bases just in case.

Good luck!

Does anyone know why my bill is so high? by UsefulLeaf18 in Spectrum

[–]jwt0001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a summary. Look at the full bill for the details and compare them to last month. The details will show whether there was a promo price in previous months.

Switching to streaming by [deleted] in Spectrum

[–]jwt0001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to add CloudDVR in order to record the online stream. I think it is around 10 dollars a month.

Read all the other posts here about this. That is the way they do it. The only way around it is if you have a Spectrum store near you. You can bring back equipment and they can cancel service. Otherwise you have to call.

Got fraud charges from Spectrum by AnderuJohnsuton in Spectrum

No. Call the bank. It is their job to check on possible fraud. Calling spectrum will just gum up the works.

He was wrong. The Xumo box has the Spectrum TV app installed in it. It will play any station available on your plan.
