Thank you for your comments! I’m I did a video on the DVR if that is helpful. One note: DVR didn’t show up for me until I added it to my plan. Here is that video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oamJp72gzb7QZ4k.htmlsi=fnnuzg5iLbqnPguR

I run my video sound through a Sony 5.1 amp. Sound is working fine on all speakers. My biggest issue is I get a breif blank screen once in awhile. I know its not my internet speed because I was using a Roku before without issue. I even doubled my internet speed to 500mg when I picked up the streaming box.

Please let me know if I misunderstood your question, but if you were asking the same as the previous question about a Spectrum TV plan without local channels: I think because I don’t have traditional Spectrum Cable box, I am able to get an even cheaper priced “Spectrum TV Essentials” plan without local tv channels. Shows up as $24.99 for that plan on my bill.

@krbry1there is a segment in the newest q and a Wednesday video on the "My List" if you are interested: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qJaCqptz09LGeX0.htmlsi=HqFDDpBQFCGBbbyw Hope that helps!

What is the monthly cost, with, and without local channels?

I only did the without local channels and pay $29 / month for channels plus $5 / month for Xumo box. That $5 charge ends once I reach the $60 payoff amount (similar to a cell phone). And it requires internet, which is not included so you have to have internet of some kind either via spectrum or another provider. The full bill is at 3:30 in this video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h5mcksxmz7uYoo0.htmlsi=GvIZyoxFR3Pu9PZj

I don’t see one either. On my Apple TV, I can pair Bluetooth headphones but I don’t see anything like that in the Xumo setup.

@timwilliams5846 I was wrong about my prior answer, and found a way to add your own universal remote control. Here is the video on how to do it: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mMypic2Asp-4eoE.html

Yes for those like me who don’t have a supported smart TV. I need a streaming box (Xumo or Roku or Apple TV ) on my tv. If you had a supported Samsung Smart TV, that would have the Spectrum app so no need for a streaming box like Xumo. Basically you need the Spectrum TV app to get their content, and it has to run on one of those supported devices mentioned in the video. Here is that link to Spectrum’s supported devices: www.spectrum.com/cable-tv/streaming/spectrum-tv-app?opredirect=cable-tv_spectrum-tv-app&opredirect=cable-tv_spectrum-tv-app

I don’t see a way, here is what I tried to see if this is possible (on this weeks Q & A Wednesday) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qqlniteSs9TTenU.html

I worded my question wrong but you answered it 2 weeks ago on "How do I set the Power On channel". Thanks again! You're a big help!

I’ve learned a better way to show which buttons to push in the two videos on their remote control. Here is the first: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nrpxfJWcvKeqkaM.htmlsi=ewb0ag68yJhJjhs5 and here is the second: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b7qgoZWJlp6pop8.htmlsi=mLKpXEIXJ3X4SK-N hope these are of help!

For what it’s worth, and this is a guess on my part, you might try checking the sleep setting on the box. Did a video answer for this question in this weeks Q & A Wednesday kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qqlniteSs9TTenU.html

@janburrelsman5293 Actually I forgot how to favorite channels already and was also wondering myself. So I just made a quick video with the steps: kzfaq.infoJOWn7r5269c?si=D6SIu6hHF54bu7go

That’s an excellent question - honestly I hadn’t noticed until you just said that.

There are two places. First is the “My Library” which is your DVR content, see question 2 in this video for that kzfaq.info/get/bejne/msikhNuC3p_Mep8.htmlsi=2l--nT15pl-bO8S5 and additionally all of your on demand content can be called up on the tab just to the right of “My Library” called “On Demand”…that’s the content you can watch without having to have recorded it.

I think because I don’t have traditional Spectrum Cable box, I am able to get an even cheaper priced “Spectrum TV Essentials” plan without local tv channels. Shows up as $24.99 for that plan on my bill.

@@puttothetest I think I will call them and see if they will let me get that plan and Xumo instead of cable box. I also use Apple TV but on family member can only use a numbered remote interface.

For what it’s worth, created is a second "how-to" video with remote control shortcuts kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b7qgoZWJlp6pop8.html

Only if it’s recorded and you are playing it back. In that case you first click the center circle button to pause it and the timeline appears, then you click the Navigation circle (outer circle) right to FF or left to Rewind. Hope that helps!

There is a segment in this video showing how to get to “My Library”, its question 2 in the video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/msikhNuC3p_Mep8.htmlsi=2l--nT15pl-bO8S5

It is frustrating, I think the lack of pause is covered in the 2nd Q and A video we did “Q & A 2 with Spectrum TV Xumo Streaming Box - Play, Pause, Record and Set Your Power On Channel” kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n5mhjKyqtJ22on0.html Here is the playlist with all of the Q and A conversations, in case this is helpful: kzfaq.info/sun/PLLbePDmgnMX_82K7X1gLuP8Pb9lZC4T5n But most helpful may be these two we did on remote control hacks: Hacks for Spectrum Xumo Remote Control Part 1: Top 10 Shortcuts kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nrpxfJWcvKeqkaM.html Hacks for Spectrum Xumo Remote Control Part 2: 10 More Shortcuts kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b7qgoZWJlp6pop8.html And if you are subscribing to their cloud DVR, this one might be helpful: Spectrum Xumo Stream Box DVR kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oamJp72gzb7QZ4k.html

@@puttothetest - thanks for the reply. What I did as a "workaround" to give me primitive control of Pause live video was to toss my current TV (actually send it into a bedroom we rarely use) and buy a new "Roku TV" which can Pause live tv on the antenna input. I took the XUMO HDMI output and routed into an HDMI to RF converter into the back of the TV as the "Antenna input" and in that way I have Pause. Now I can pee on my own time not the scheduled programming time, LOL. Of course there's some loss of signal fidelity but one can add (I did ) a remote controlled HDMI switch to switch the HDMI to the RF Converter or the HDMI input of the TV if in need of HDTV for movies etc. All this for the lack of a primitive function that's been around 25+ years!

@btomas225 this is genius! Absolutely genius!! I’ve been looking at the Tablo antenna DVR but never heard of converting the hdmi out into rf and using a Roku tv built in pause function. That is a truly creative solution to overcome backwards (Xumo) technology.
