Hi Group,
After four days of groaning, carping and gnashing of teeth, I played
with the Spectrum TV App for the iPhone and figured out a clumsy but
usable work around for accessing channels. Here's how it works.
1. Launch the app and move to the bottom of the screen and double tap
on the home tab.
2. Near the top is the search field. double Tap on the search edit
field and the field will open.
3. Either using the keyboard or the dictation (I use dictation and if I
speak slowly, it usually works quite well) and enter a search term.
4. Now usually you can go to the top of the screen again and see the
list of results. You can also tap the search button in the lower right
hand corner of the screen and then go to the top and see the results.
5. One of the results will be your desired channel.
6. If you tap on the desired result, you are not taken immediately to
Live TV, but you are given a list of options for the channel. Choose
watch in app and double tap that item. The station will now start
playing live.
Note: you must keep your searches limited to very basic input. For
example, when I searched on WKBW Channel 7 which is my local ABC
affiliate, I got a zero results return. If I just searched on ABC, I
got a bunch of results one of which was my local
ABC affiliate. Now the next time you want to switch channels, you will
see the recent search results in the screen before you enter anything.
You can use the recent search results to more quickly access your most
watched channels--kind of like a crippled version of favorites.
This is clumsy, but at least a usable method until full accessibility is
restored.
