Xumo issues I am having-I get the 3 dots of death when watching the spectrum app 10 times a day I have to press the ok button or turn on an doff multiple times to get the program to come back on. This has been going on for months since I received. The Spectrum Tech have been to my home multiple times and replaced the model, cables etc. Signal is strong. I am on a wireless NetGear router, Netgear claims it is not there issue. Spec Tech support has seen this issue but does not know what to do about it. What is the problem???
@puttothetestКүн бұрын
I have not seen that problem yet but had a similar problem on my streaming box where it would have to wait for content to load. In my case, the streaming box was using a mesh network for wifi. To fix, I moved the router to the tv stand and did a direct ethernet cable out of the router and into the streaming box. Still happens, but much less frequently.

Do you know if it’s still possible to get the traditional cable boxes from spectrum. We are an existing spectrum subscriber but got rid of our cable boxes awhile back. And we’d like to get those back as opposed to using this xumo streaming stuff.
@puttothetest8 күн бұрын
Yeah that’s an excellent question! I haven’t been into the Spectrum store in a while but I imagine they still do. Would be worth a stop there this weekend to find out.
@puttothetest5 күн бұрын
@TheNewAgeDeveloper according to the spectrum store rep I talked to this weekend, they still have the traditional cable boxes in stock at the store I was in but are intentionally pushing the Xumo boxes. He estimated a handful more years of having traditional cable boxes in store, but I wasn’t sure if he meant they’d be off the list entirely or just direct ship… either way sounded like they are moving into Xumo on purpose and that it will be harder in the future to walk into a spectrum store and get the traditional cable box. I’m puzzled by them moving tv off of coax and onto internet, they own the coax network after all. Maybe it uses less bandwidth to transmit over internet on Xumo then it does to transmit over coax on traditional cable boxes - giving them more internet bandwidth availability on their coax network. Just a thought.
@TheNewAgeDeveloper4 күн бұрын
@@puttothetest Thats good to know! by the way, can spectrum employees still come to your house to run new coaxial cables and spectrum voice phone jacks? We are planning to relocate our equipment to a different room.
@puttothetest4 күн бұрын
@TheNewAgeDeveloper my guess is a strong yes because they also run their internet service off coax so they would need those technicians around to service coax internet at a minimum. Also once you have the coax in your house, I’ve hired a handyman in the past to extend my coax to our three season porch so if after you move, after spectrum does the initial coax connection to your house, if you need more coax drops for your TV, hiring a handyman is a good option. I used to run phone jacks myself many moons ago when they were analog. Still have the punch-down tool to terminate the line! That was pre-wireless internet.🛜

The Spectrum app constantly crashes all day and night! It is worse than the Spectrum cable box which we all now was a POS!

There are only one, maybe two outlets in the rooms so a travel charger with at least two ports is a must to keep your devices (ex. Phone, tablet) going is strongly recommended. Extra pillows are welcomed to have in case you don’t get enough support. You’re going to want to bring light, thinner backpacks or wide duffle bags to pack your overnight items, either will stow up top nicely. Also any kind of collapsible bag with odds and ends (ex. Light snacks in a reusable grocery bag). Recommend grip slippers for nighttime bathroom trips, rather than going in your socks. Also from the bookstore, some funny books (my fav) and attachable reading lights. And a belt Fanny pack is great for going to the club car or dining car and keeping your valuables safely on you without having to lug a pocket book. Hope this is helpful and have a great adventure on the Auto Train!! Check out the collection of ideas if you are looking for ideas here kzbin.infoSCUCSMMbsxWFa8cM0-pdhYgTo9OgIPY5nTq2g?scp=EAM%3D

About that "+" button... The plus (+) button on an Xumo remote has multiple uses, including unpairing the remote, resetting it, and trying additional remote codes: - Unpairing the remote Press and hold the Back and Add (+) buttons together for three seconds until the LED is solid green. Then, press 984 on the remote and try syncing it again from Xumo settings. - Resetting the remote Press and hold the ← and + buttons for three seconds until the light at the top of the remote turns solid green. Then, press 9, then 8, then 4. The light will blink red a few times and then turn off. - Trying additional remote codes Use the remote to try additional codes or manually pair it using the TV's make and model number.

This video is very helpful. I wish I would've looked this up two months ago because I've had two months of frustration with the remote. I tried all of the features you highlighted and they worked pretty well especially the last channel button. The only tweak to the video I would recommend is #6. Once you are on the guide, the video says to 'press' the middle enter/OK button to receive a filtered guide with options. Instead, "hold down" the middle enter/OK button to see the filtered guide menu he shared in his very helpful video. Now that I saw this video, maybe maybe the remote will grow on me 😮

My mom is done with Dish so I ordered Spectrum for her expecting a large cable box like ours, which we've had for many years and they sent the Xumo. Everything I was reading kept prompting to use an app. I told the guy that she does not have a computer or a cell phone. I'm using my email for her Spectrum phone service so hopefully your video will help. I will come back to it if I need assistance. Every company automatically thinks that everyone in the world has a pc and a cell phone and that is not the case, especially with elderly people that are not up with the times. I'm up with the times but I am not a cell phone app download person. I use it to text, talk, pictures, KZbin and that's it.

Thanks for this I drew my own conclusions, but I'll tell you my issues with your video. You keep going on and on about the blades. As a product that is used to CHOP THINGS INTO TINY TINY BITS it's an absolute plus. The fact that you are afraid of sharp blades, essentially knives, at your age and constantly moan about the fact that blades that need to be sharp are sharp is ridiculous. Next, the noise. You compare it to a dishwasher. (and then you compare it to a dryer... like... what?) compare it to other similar sized blenders, it's a BLENDER it WILL be noisy. A dishwashers rotating motor is far far slower than this, (and larger) not to mention the different enclosure of course it will produce a different much lower noise. Your previous model wasn't the ultra it was a different model. Buy the same type of model and wow magic the container will fit. It's not like that model is discontinued. You bought a DIFFERENT model. Built differently. Of course the accessories are going to be different.
