Mark, I have the Spectrum TV Choice package which is a streaming only package. Gives me all my local channels and 10 Cable channels for like $25, and then on top of that I pay $5 for the DVR service...which allows me to record 50 programs. I forgot that the Spectrum TV app also works for the traditional packages...but I don't know if you can add the DVR for that. I'm actually surprised that you have the DVR tab, because from my understanding you should only have that tab if you have the streaming DVR. They have only had this for about 3months. Think it was 4/23 or there abouts when they released it, and they still have some bugs to work out.
Sorry for any confusion. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of M.

From within the Spectrum TV app, I go to the DVR tab, I can see my recorded shows but the only option I get is to play them back, on my TV; this is to say, on my table-top cable box. Does one have to pay a fee in order to get DVR playback to work from within the Spectrum TV iOS app? I have searched the web for the answer to this question but have had no luck, so far. And as for calling Spectrum customer service? No way. They almost never give the correct answer to anything.

All other places you are watching live TV and hence can't stop it .. Doesn't work like a traditional DVR. I'm not really sure why they have that as part of the controls .. maybe they will add it at some point. I have contacted them several times about issues .. and they have been pretty responsive... If you use the Apple TV app, you can speak a lot of the commands .. like changing the secondary audio .. skipping back and forth while watching a DVR recording and such...sometimes results aren't consistent, but they are getting better ... -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Jim Fettgather Sent: Monday, July 15, 2019 7:11 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Some Interesting VoiceOver Accessibility Facts About the Spectrum Cable Service, It's getting Better and Better 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.

This works for me in the direct tv app during streaming audio. On 7/14/2019 11:37 PM, M.
