SPECTRUM TV APP TUTORIAL. GUIDE, ONDEMAND, CLOUD DVR AND FAVORITES

[@stevepepper2268]

Well spent 15 minutes. Good job, exactly what I needed to see and know.

[@RYNOTECH]

Good deal. Thank man Two weeks later they change some of the features after it being the same for two years. go figure. Lol

[@RYNOTECH]

Spectrum updated a week after I posted this. They changed the guide function . I’ll do an undated version for the guide here shortly.

[@jimholloway1785]

@@RYNOTECH thanks that will appreciated, it seems strange that the remote only has a few buttons , I guess the more I use it , it will become easier.

[@lylywhite2121]

Love it! Thank you so much for this tutorial. I'm thinking about getting Spectrum streaming and was so lost. This will be my first time streaming. This will help me so much. I appreciate you. 😊

[@RYNOTECH]

Hope it helped.

[@smeghead3835]

This tutorial was so easy and exactly what I needed... Thank you so much

[@RYNOTECH]

Thanks. Broken down. It’s easier than it looks. Glad it helped.

[@jimholloway1785]

I just got my Roku Ultra yesterday and I was watching your channel and I came across this video, but it looks like Roku has made changes. I tried to press the left arrow once and it now says to press the right arrow and still it does not give all the settings like the filter. Do you do updates to your KZbin videos when things change like this?

[@RYNOTECH]

Yeah spectrum changed it a week after making this. If you go right and then hold down the ok button it will take you to those filters

[@srobak]

Thanks for this. Some good tips in here. One thing I am looking for is instructions on pausing/rewinding live tv on the cloud dvr like you can with the physical dvr box. Pressing pause or rewind on roku controller (even ultra) does not do that... and I cannot believe that this would not be available for a dvr offering.

[@RYNOTECH]

Yeah unfortunately that’s where they fall really short. That feature does not exist on spectrums app with there cloud dvr. It’s unfortunate.

[@stevenroseboro9548]

Very Nice Job, Thank You!. Extremely Helpful!

[@amylillen5193]

Do you know if it's possible to delete a series of recorded shows? I have 80 of the same show on the same channel I didn't know I had set up to record several times a day. I have other shows that I recorded and want to keep from different channels. Thanks

[@onehitsword6800]

I was going to get Spectrum but I don't feel they're being transparent about the DVR record limit. They say 100 shows but I need more of a storage limit so for now I'm staying with KZbin TV.

[@RYNOTECH]

Probably best. I don’t have KZbin tv but with spectrum you can’t pause live tv. I can’t get a definitive answer on record space either.

[@onehitsword6800]

@@RYNOTECH have you ever done a stress test, by that I mean record a lot of movies and shows and see how long the oldest recordings stay.

[@RYNOTECH]

@@onehitsword6800 no I could do that though. I set it up this weekend and let you know when it’s done.

[@onehitsword6800]

@@RYNOTECH cool, it'll be a great public service announcement to any with Spectrum. I'll keep a eye out for your video

[@danram247]

And if you have the app through a Samsung tv you can actually use the number buttons on your remote to change channels like having an actual box receiver. Saved some money by using the app instead of having multiple box receivers...

[@bruce3773]

very helpful-thank you👍

[@gustavovega9921]

Great tutorial. I really appreciate you. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. I have Spectrum with a DVR, do you have to call them to set up a cloud DVR? I just bought a new ROKU and does show a way to record

[@RYNOTECH]

If you have the dvr service it should pop up on the app.

[@lyndamikejackson6670]

I have spectrum TV, internet & phone. I'm hoping to take my spectrum with me on my new RV. This helped a lot but the record button didn't show up. You said in another post that I need to pay for the cloud DVR. Do I get that through Spectrum. Spectrum doesn't help much when I call them.

[@RYNOTECH]

They should know. It’s a service they provide. It’s called cloud dvr. Next thing I hate to be a bad guy here but the app has limited channels when your not on spectrums internet service.

[@ronhaggerty6209]

i just got spectrum do i need a box or is cloud something different

[@RYNOTECH]

Cloud is something different

[@MamaGman]

spectrum should pay you! honestly, they do not have this information for customers! They send emails with tons of links and information that never really answer your questions when you call for support. Thank you!

[@RYNOTECH]

Most happy to help. They changed some of the features right after I posted this. Go figure

[@ksr1991]

Excellent explanations thank you so much!

[@punknhead23]

Can you still get the secondary guide now that spectrum changed the guide? You now have to hit the right arrow to access the guide. Then neither left nor right brings up the categories you show.

[@RYNOTECH]

Yeah they changed all that a week after posting this video. If you press the top arrow on top next to home you can access it from there. It will be at the top of the screen. You will have home,live tv,guide,my library and on demand. Hope this helps

[@jaylewis9224]

The left arrow doesn’t work like that on mine. How do you access recent channels?

[@RYNOTECH]

I know they changed it a week after I posted it. If you use the right arrow and then hold the ok button it will take you to that feature.

[@cootmaster]

question i have my settings to SHOW FAVORITES in the filter but when i exit the app or turn off on tv why does the favories filter disable and show theguide from ch 1 . it doesnt seem to save like the dvr box o have keep doing it. is there a way to presently save the filter favorites when i start the app every time

[@Wizardof]

Hey why are Hotel Spectrum TV Packages using OTA DTV channel formats like 11-1 or 12.3? What changed? I have not used CATV in YEARS.

[@RYNOTECH]

It’s done with quam to quam. Basically there’s a device in there server room that is hooked up to the internet. That device has all the channels on it through the internet. Then it gets converted to rf that goes to all the room. The TVs in the room get auto tuned to each channel. That why you see like 2.1 and so forth. That’s the basic break down version without getting technical.

[@Wizardof]

@@RYNOTECH Post the technical part if you have the time?? Is it like DTV ATSC? DIdn't digital cable have a longer time frame to go to ATSC??

[@Necrows77]

Bro nice setup

[@RYNOTECH]

I just rearranged the whole thing. Getting ready to build another small gaming pc. Did a Timelapse video that’s up. Almost done with it. Working on the gaming station this weekend.

[@AiBilly]

Do i need a different DVR to be able to record to the cloud because i don`t see my recordings ?

[@RYNOTECH]

The recordings from your dvr won’t show up there. Your dvr has a hard drive in it that stores your recordings. If the app allows you to record it will record to the cloud. Spectrum doesn’t have that feature with the physical dvr s. I don’t think they ever will.

[@dennisharris144]

You need to update this becuase the left menu does not work anymore and I cannot find the settings. I used to be able to set the default channel on start.

[@RYNOTECH]

Yep and I’m not going to. I made this and a week later they changed it after 2 years. It took a lot to make the video

[@RYNOTECH]

If you go right and hold ok that will take you to the list filters

[@seairagoosby8287]

Thanks, this video is so helpful how do we know which things are free eon demand and which cost and our channel like up we just got the service tonight how can we watch streaming service away from home . We can record from ruku.

[@RYNOTECH]

As far as relay a show from yesterday time stamp 4:33 will go over the on demand part of the app. When in there you need to find the network the show is on and choose it. Then find the show then the episode you want. Be mindful some networks don’t release the show the day after aired. Most do but there are some that don’t. I know discovery releases a week later for some reason. To the second part of your question I’m in the process of gathering information to make a video on the mobile app features and the limitations of it when your not on your network. I’ve had to take a couple of months from being in front of the camera and I have my son help me. I won’t be able to go in front of the camera until late October. I’m in the process of multiple mouth surgery’s that have caused me the inability to understand my speech. Its getting better. I hope this I’d helpful I wish I could put that second video out sooner. Any other questions feel free to ask.

[@seairagoosby8287]

@@RYNOTECH Awe I pray all goes well with your surgery . I understand what it's like to have speech issues . Thanks so much for your help . I am not sure I'm keeping this service tho cuz I don't like ads and commercials so looking for a streaming provider that has own station Oprah's and BET for 20 a month

[@joeygarza4270]

Awesome job

[@katd6580]

when you add a Ruko device to your tv, do you need their remote or can you just use the Ruko remote? I purchased two Ruko and found out they don't have a volumn button...might exchange them..

[@RYNOTECH]

That one you will not be able to. The lower end models give you the bare minimum. You can buy individual roku remotes the will allow you to but at that point you might as well have bought a little better one. The one you bought to be honest isn’t that great. The cheeper Rokus aren’t that great

[@katd6580]

@@RYNOTECH I see one that is $40 that has volumn control. But my main question is....will you have to use two remote controls or just the Roku?

[@RYNOTECH]

@@katd6580 you will be able to use just the roku for the most part. If you need to change the input on the tv you will have to use the tv remote for that. Otherwise everything is on the roku

[@JasonSmith-qx3zh]

How do cut off the message are you still watching spectrum????

[@RYNOTECH]

I don’t but many people still do. i get it free and that’s all I’m going to say.

[@eliasramirez3039]

I don’t have the record button on mine, just watch list I’m not too sure why

[@RYNOTECH]

You sure you subscribe to the cloud dvr?

[@maille5243]

Thanks...good info

[@RYNOTECH]

Thanks. They change part of the app a week after I made it but the rest is still relevant. I spent about 72 hours on that video. Filming and editing.

How to record on ROKU TV with Spectrum App, but no DVR

[@RYNOTECH]

Unfortunately you have to have the dvr service activated on it

You were great thank you

[@RYNOTECH]

No problem. Thank you. There was no videos out there for this. So I made one. Lol

So I pay for the privilege of watching commercials? Haven't figured that one out yet.

[@csandst1]

My recordings do not sync with the app 😡 and I do not have the option to record past scheduled end of show 😡😡

[@RYNOTECH]

You may have to delete to app and reinstall it. What device do you have it on?

[@michaelgeist1713]

I don't have the record option on my Spectrum app for whatever reason, its rather annoying

[@RYNOTECH]

You have to subscribe to the cloud dvr for it to be there. Be mindful if you get it, you can only record. It won’t let you pause live tv

[@yolandajarvis6158]

How to pause “live” tv?

[@RYNOTECH]

Unfortunately they haven’t activated that feature

[@antronbrownlee4964]

I want to know how to delete multi shows rather that 1 by 1 that takes forever

[@RYNOTECH]

Unfortunately on the app cloud Dvr they haven’t put that feature in yet. Not sure if they will.

[@mouse122]

doesn't come up when i press up to record

[@RYNOTECH]

Do you subscribe for the dvr

[@RYNOTECH]

There’s a cloud dvr fee. If it’s not on the account it won’t work.

[@naomihall6521]

Where is cbs

[@RYNOTECH]

That’s going to depend on the market you live in.

[@carijohnson2342]

How do I set series recordings for shows that will start next month?

[@RYNOTECH]

You will have to wait till it gets closer to the air date. For some reason it won’t let you do it till like 1 or 2 weeks prior to air if It’s s new show. Also spectrum changed the app right after I made this video and the guide portion changed. It was the same way for 3 years and 2 weeks after I made this video they changed stuff on me.

[@homerovazquez8809]

Trash app on roku

[@RYNOTECH]

Trash on all devices. The app has gone to crap. They can’t get it to work right on any device.
