Use your Xumo Stream Box voice remote to go directly from a voice request to live gameplay — no searching, scrolling or extra navigation required.
When live sports tuning is available, your Xumo Stream Box identifies the game you want to watch, selects the best eligible live showing and takes you directly to it.

How to tune to live sports with your voice
Press and hold the voice button on your Xumo Stream Box remote, then say the team or event you want to watch.
For example, say:
- "New York Knicks"
- "Tigers at Cubs"
When an eligible live showing is available, your Xumo Stream Box can take you directly to live gameplay without requiring you to navigate to the game yourself.
How live sports tuning works
Live sports tuning occurs when your Xumo Stream Box can confidently identify a single eligible live showing and navigate directly to it.
Live tuning happens when:
- Your voice command identifies a specific team and is unambiguous
- A showing is available, included with your subscriptions
- The event doesn't have duplicate showings
Live sports tuning can also work while you're already using an app. Depending on where the best eligible showing is available, your Xumo Stream Box can tune within your current app or exit the app you're using to take you to the best showing.
For example, live sports tuning can:
- Tune into Spectrum: From anywhere on the Xumo platform, take you directly into the Spectrum TV App when an eligible live sports showing is available there.
- Tune within the Spectrum TV app: Take you directly to the eligible live showing within the Spectrum TV app, without requiring you to exit and re-enter the app.
- Tune from another app: Exit the app you're currently using and take you directly to the best eligible live showing in another app.
What happens when live tuning isn't available?
Sometimes your Xumo Stream Box can't tune directly to a live showing. When that happens, your voice request may instead take you to:
- The page for the team or event
- An in-app search
- Search results
From there, you can browse the available options and choose what to watch.
If the game has eligible showings on multiple platforms, you'll be taken to the team's page, where you can choose which showing to watch.
