Unfortunately, the two finger double tap does not work in this app, you must
select a different tab, such as Guide or On Demand.
Even when you enable the video controls, there seems to be no pause or Stop
button.
Audio description may be enabled, but no way to stop the video that I have
found.
Thanks.

Does the two finger double tap work? This works for me in the direct tv
app during streaming audio.

Jim and Everyone,
When in the Live TV section of the Spectrum TV app for iOS, is there a way
to mute the streaming audio sound so that one can more easily hear
VoiceOver?
Thank you,
Mark

I agree for the most part with all of the assertions and observations that
have been made regarding this app.
However, I am experiencing something in the Guide, which I am wondering if
anyone else is having the same issue.
Select the Guide Tab, tap on any station, and then tap Network Schedule.
I am hearing the following:
Time: Name of show.
Time: Name of show.
In other words, the time of day for airing of the program is not
announced, only the word "time."
Now, if you decide to record the show, then the start and end times are
announced, but that is a bit inconvenient.
Otherwise, the app is quite useable and accessible.
Thanks.

Subject: Some Interesting VoiceOver Accessibility Facts About the Spectrum
Cable Service, It's getting Better and Better
This is for all of you who subscribe to Spectrum Cable. I realize that
Spectrum is a Canadian company but I can only report my experience here in
the U.S.
1.
The Spectrum Mobile for iOS app appears to be 100% VoiceOver accessible.
This is to say, I have yet to discover any area of the app that does not
work with VoiceOver.
2.
The Spectrum TV app, for iOS, appears to be 100% VoiceOver accessible,
also.
In fact, I have been using it for several days, now, and am amazed at how
well it works with VoiceOver. I have installed it on both iPhone and iPad
and both experiences are marvelous.
3.
Did you know that any Spectrum subscriber can add upto 5 limited users to
his account? In order to access various features to which the primary
member is subscribed? For no additional costs.
So, for example, if you are subscribed to Spectrum for your television
cable service, not only can you install the Spectrum TV app on all of your
devices so that you can enjoy all of your allowed stations, from within
your home and a subset of those stations when a way from home, you can
authorize up to
5 limited users to have access to that same channel line-up on their
mobile devices, as well, on their respective mobile devices. I say
limited because these users cannot access your actual account in terms of
receiving bills, seeing your account number, etc. They can only see the
items that you allow them to see. I am using the TV tool, as merely an
example. Each of your authorized limited users will have her own login
user ID and Password, separate and distinct from your own. You can change
their account access permissions or remove them from your account at any
time, at which point the Spectrum TV app and any of its related features
will be immediately disabled.
The best part is that the entire process of creating and managing users,
is completely VoiceOver accessible in Safari for iOS.
Now I stipulate Safari because the more advanced features of Spectrum
account management can only be accomplished via a web browser, not the
mobile app. The app, to dayte, simply does not allow for such advanced
account management.
So if you are a Spectrum Cable subscriber, and you have not yet done so,
create your Spectrum online account, sign in, download, and enjoy.
Mark
