    Spectrum TV customers: "Why won't my Roku work?"

    BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) - The switch over to 100% digital cable television continues in Buffalo - but some Spectrum customers are discovering that their digital devices, like Roku's, Xbox's and smart TV's, will not work with the Spectrum App that is required to view TV channels.


    It is a problem affecting Spectrum TV customers who get their internet from other providers such as Verizon.


    A company spokesperson confirmed to 7 Eyewitness News that Spectrum TV customers need to also have Spectrum internet is order to view channels through their digital equipment like Roku and smart TV's.

    People who wonder if the glass is half empty or full miss the point. The glass is refillable.

    I bet it does because other services' apps, like Dish Anywhere, DirecTV Anywhere, etc work with any internet connection
    Let me articulate this for you:

    Does the ROKU user have wireless connection in the house? If yes the ROKU can work, any question let me know.

    Net Neutrality, which Trumps guy killed?

    That question raised, my phone only accesses “some” of the Spectrum Channel’s when on, in my case, Verizon phone/IPad internet.

    If Spectrum doesn’t provide adequate service dump ‘em. I get wireless from Verizon, my tv from DirecTV but everything else seems to work ok.
