A good cable TV plan is essential for any household. It not only helps you to stay up to date with the news but also helps unwind and relax with the best shows and movies. Or, if you’re a sports buff, your favorite game!

It plays an important role in setting the tone for your home life and even your social life. Sure, the market is evolving and streaming platforms are all the rage, but they have far to go if they wish to eliminate cable TV. With the recent innovations in cable TV service, one thing is for sure, it’s going to be an uphill battle.

Spectrum, for example, has launched its own streaming app. Now, along with a live TV and a free on-demand library, you can stream your favorite shows and movies on your mobile devices at no additional cost. All you need is a subscription to Spectrum Cable TV and Spectrum Internet, and you’re good to go. All Spectrum TV packages offer the free Spectrum TV® app, so you can access all your subscription features on any screen you want. The best part though is that you won’t have to rent multiple set-top boxes!

With a smart TV, you can easily download the app and start watching in no time without compromising on the picture quality. And, if you have a Samsung Smart TV, it gets even easier. Samsung is one of the two companies whose smart TVs are compatible with the Spectrum TV app, the other being Apple. So, if that’s the big screen dominating your living room, you’re in for some luck.

Just follow the steps below and you’ll know all that you need to get the Spectrum TV app to work on your television set.
