The Spectrum will work as you as you subscribe to a TV package. Some channels msy be blocked out like your locals and regional sports networks. But if all ypu kept with Spectrum was internet, then the app will not work.

When we dropped DirectTV the streaming app stopped working for us.

Today we have Xfinity internet only and the streaming app does not work.

I assume when you cut the cord with Spectrum they will cut you off from their streaming app in return.

When you drop spectrum, be sure to do it the last few days of your billing period. There is no pro rata refund from them.

Is Spectrum free on Roku? There's no extra charge if you're a Spectrum TV and internet customer. The Roku app is just a portal into content you're already paying for.Jun 21, 2023

We cut the cord with Spectrum TV a few months ago. We continue to use Spectrum for internet...no complaints there, but their TV pricing had gotten ridiculous. Once we eliminated the TV account, we no longer have access to the TV app. Fine with me. We made the switch to YouTube TV, and are very happy so far...and about $30 per month less than Spectrum.

That's what I figured but just wanted to check.

Hey, anyone have a list of the Spectrum cable channels and other locations to get the same programming? That would be a great list. .

I tried that. Didn’t work for me. Everything was delayed or recording. Even local news unless you put up and antenna. I even tried different pay streamers. Seems the was always couple channels that I had to have but wasn’t offer. In the end to get can channels I wanted and local channels the cost was almost the same.

The only programming I miss that Spectrum had, and YouTube does not, is the A & E network of channels. Part of the A & E Network is the History channel, which I enjoyed. For the time being, that is because YouTube does not have a contract with A & E, but that could change,

If we are all set up with streaming, and not using spectrum,
why does it matter whether we cancel the first of the month or the last day of the month?

answer: it doesn't matter, just the sooner the better. .

When you turn in their boxes, save the receipt. Take a picture of it too, in case you cannot find it in a few months when they somehow have no record of you returning that stuff, and want a small fortune to pay for keeping them.
Same advice for XFinity, DirecTV, Dish, etc.

Be careful.

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. If HuluLive and YouTubeTV both have to charge $70/month to cover licensing fees and can only legally carry the local stations from the region you are in, is it likely that $150/year for a package that includes all the US local channels is legit?

It's gray market, basically stolen. They better be running a VPN and using a virtual credit card for payment so it can't be tracked back.
