Charter’s Spectrum TV, which recently began offering 4K live sports on its Xumo streaming devices, announced today that it’s expanding 4K availability to compatible Apple TV 4K and Roku devices with the Spectrum TV app.

“With the addition of Apple TV 4K and Roku, more Spectrum customers can enjoy the clarity that 4K brings, all within the Spectrum TV App,” Elena Ritchie, Spectrum TV’s senior vice president for video, said in a statement. “Viewers can experience their favorite 4K live events with stunning picture quality, vibrant colors, and razor-sharp detail, making their viewing experience more immersive and enjoyable.”

In the next few weeks, the Spectrum TV 4K lineup will include:

• ESPN College Football’s 4K Game of the Week. (This week’s game matches Missouri vs. Oklahoma at noon ET on Saturday.)
• Fox’s Big Noon Kickoff and live college football games.
• NBC’s broadcast of the Syracuse vs. Notre Dame college football game on November 22 at 3:30 p.m. ET.
• NBC’s broadcast of the Indiana vs. Purdue college football game on November 28 at 7:30 p.m. ET.

Spectrum TV customers can find 4K programming on the home screen of the Spectrum TV App. When using a Xumo box, customers viewing HD content that is also available in 4K will be prompted with an on-screen message providing the option to switch to the 4K channel.

To watch 4K content through the Spectrum TV App, customers need a Spectrum TV package that includes access to the ESPN, Fox or NBC network carrying the live 4K game. You must also have a 4K TV connected to a Xumo Stream Box, Apple TV 4K 2nd generation and later, or compatible Roku TV or Roku streaming device, using a 4K-supporting HDMI cable.

The picture resolution settings on the device should be set to 4K or 2160p, depending on the device.
