I’m frequently on the go but I want to watch football or other content on channels like CBS, It’s the spectrum app will not let me watch over my mobile network.
But some other channels it will allow me to watch while away from my Wi-Fi network.
Does anybody know why this is? It just makes me go find streaming site instead.
it’s kind of a licensing issue where they allow mobile access only to certain channels. sure, it can be quite a buzzkill.
however, i reckon some channels probably don’t have such restrictions and that’s why you are able to stream them on-the-go. i totally understand why you’d feel like going to a different streaming site - the restrictions can be quite frustrating, to say the least.
It’s part of the carriage agreements with those networks. You can usually go grab the network’s app to watch content (often live) by signing in with your spectrum account.
The NFL is also its own beast pertaining to streaming to my knowledge.
