Streaming? Casting? Mirroring? Whatever the Platform, Spectrum TV® Has Customers Covered

With a bevy of binge-worthy shows and innovations in video distribution, it’s never been so easy, or confusing, to watch TV.

Today, people don’t just watch TV. They stream, cast, and mirror. They watch live news and sports and movies on demand, through a set-top box, on apps, or over the air. They watch TV on huge flat screens in their living room, on laptops at the kitchen counter, and on mobile devices on the go, or on the couch.

“The way customers are consuming video content is changing every day,” says Jodi Robinson, Senior Vice President of Digital Platforms for Charter Communications, Inc., which operates the Spectrum brand of TV, internet, voice and mobile services. “We are always looking to innovate and find ways to make our video products easily available to all customers so they can enjoy their Spectrum TV service wherever and whenever they want.”

 

Getting the Most Out of Spectrum TV

Watch the video below to learn more from Robinson about how Charter is making it easier for customers to find and watch their favorite content. She also provides the following tips to help customers make the most of their Spectrum TV subscription:

Learn the lingo. “Streaming” means watching video via an IP-connected or wireless device. “Casting” and “mirroring” both refer to sending a signal from one device, usually a smartphone, to a larger screen or TV. But they differ in that when casting, users can still use their phone without interrupting the video, whereas with mirroring, exactly what is on the phone screen is shown on the larger screen.
