Set Spectrum TV as your primary viewing preference

  • Updated

Set Spectrum TV as your primary viewing preference to get the most out of your Xumo Stream Box. Once it's set up, the Xumo Home screen can highlight your Spectrum TV content, making it quicker to jump into live TV and discover shows available with your Spectrum service.

Note: Setting Spectrum TV as your primary viewing preference doesn't change your TV service. It simply tells your Xumo Home screen to prioritize your Spectrum TV experience, making it easier to access your live Spectrum TV channels and related content.

Benefits of setting Spectrum TV as your primary viewing preference

  • Browse Spectrum TV channels from the integrated Live TV Guide on your Xumo Home screen.
  • Discover Spectrum TV shows and movies directly from your Xumo Home screen.
  • Jump into live Spectrum TV from the Currently Playing tile, which displays your last watched channel and what's currently airing.
