When cord cutting became a big trend, Spectrum was quick to hop on board. They offered TV boxes and a streaming service. In this tutorial, I’ll walk you through installing the Spectrum streaming service on Roku.
Spectrum TV is the name of the service. It’s like a cable contract, but without the commitment. Instead, it’s a monthly subscription that lets you add or remove premium channels whenever you want. It’s a bit pricier than other cord cutting options, like DirecTV, but it’s still popular.
Setting up the Spectrum TV channel on Roku
Getting the Spectrum TV channel on your Roku is a piece of cake. Just make sure your Roku is connected to the internet and that you have a Spectrum TV account.
- First, open your Roku and go to the Channel Store.
- Select the Spectrum TV channel and click Install.
- Once it’s installed, open the Spectrum TV channel and sign in using your Spectrum TV account.
- Agree to the licensing terms and start using the app.
Now that you’re logged in, you can use the Spectrum TV channel however you like. The content you see will depend on your subscription, but you can browse, search, and watch just like with any other channel.
But beware, the Spectrum TV channel does have a few quirks. Some users have reported issues with it not opening, closing unexpectedly, or not streaming content. If you run into any of these problems, there are a couple of things you can try to fix it.

If you’re having trouble with your Spectrum TV channel on Roku, like it keeps shutting down or won’t open at all, you’re not alone. Many people are experiencing this issue, and it seems to affect all Roku devices, not just one. The good news is that there are some steps you can take to try and fix it.
First, let’s talk about removing and re-adding the Spectrum TV channel. This can be a hassle, especially if you have customized your setup or have lots of channels. But it might be worth a try. Here’s how you can do it:
- Go to My Channels and select Spectrum TV.
- Press the * or Options button on your remote.
- Choose Remove Channel and confirm.

Encountering RLP-1999 and RLP-999 Errors? Here’s What They Mean
If you’re seeing the RLP-1999 and RLP-999 error codes while using Spectrum TV, don’t worry, you’re not alone. These codes usually indicate connectivity issues between your Roku and the Spectrum TV servers.
To troubleshoot this, you can start by testing another app on your Roku. If that app works fine and streams without any problems, then the issue is likely with Spectrum TV. However, if other apps also have streaming issues, then the problem may be with your network.
If you suspect it’s a network issue, here are a few things you can try:
Restart the Roku: This simple troubleshooting step can reset the network connection and potentially resolve the problem.
Restart your router and/or modem: Another basic step is to restart your entire network. You can also check other devices, like a web browser or phone, to ensure your network is functioning properly. But a reset never hurts.
Switch from WiFi to Ethernet: While this step may be a bit more involved, it can help if WiFi is being unreliable. If possible, switch to a wired connection and test the Spectrum TV channel again. If it works fine, then you’ll need to troubleshoot your wireless network. However, if you’re still experiencing issues, it’s not on you.
If none of these steps resolve the issue, it’s time to reach out to Spectrum TV customer services. After all, you’re paying a premium for this service, and it’s frustrating when you can’t access the content you want to watch when you want to watch it.
