Spectrum SportsNet: Live Games

It’s great that I can airplay from my iPhone to Apple TV but I still run into annoying functionality. If I move off the app it will eventually freeze so I just plan on not using my iPhone at all during a game. This is not the biggest deal in the world and I’ll live. In order to get it back I have to kill it, restart it, then my Apple TV just spins. I have to kill it again and it will usually work. I also sometimes get the maximum device error even though I’m the only one using the app. Please please please let us get the app on AppleTV! All these issues could be avoided.

I got a promo for having spectrum wifi and mobile where I get to watch lakers games for free on spectrum SportsNet app since I don’t have spectrum cable. There’s no TV app for spectrum SportsNet on LG App Store so I downloaded on my phone. I was able to airplay directly from my phone to my TV which was great but for some reason AirPlay is now blocked on the app? I tried screen mirroring as a way around it and it blocks screen mirroring as soon as I press play on the app. It’ll screen mirror even after I open the app but when I press play it disconnects. I can airplay from any other videos and app but no longer on this one. Seems like a direct shot for people to have to pay for spectrum cable because why offer the games for free and then take away features so that I can no longer enjoy it? Seems like spectrum likes to just make things annoying until you pay full price for something you don’t really want.

Watching Laker games indeed works on this app and it is fine for that need if you have a cable provider. For the basic use of watching Live games of the Lakers flawlessly from my own use, this app gets a 3 ⭐️ review. Maybe it should be a 4, but the experience ought to be vastly superior, such as AD’s skills! No rewind, forward, or more conveniently is a “jump to Live” button since I noticed I’ll pause the game sometimes for a break but then I will want to watch live and not be minutes behind, unless that’s how I want to watch. To bypass that, the only option I noticed is to exit the app (double tap home button, swipe up) to reset and watch live again. Fox Sports apps allow me to pause Angels baseball games live. Why not Lakers too? BUG Report: Highlight videos will pause midway thru a video after scrolling a couple times thru the same video. There is no play button present after the scrolling, only the still image of where the scrolling stopped to. To get the same video to play again, I have to rewatch another 30 sec ad after I reselect on the same video to reset the bug! Please catch up with Fox Sports, Spectrum devs. You can do it. So-cal sports fans deserve the best!
