The Day After Tomorrow Online Stream

[Ilene Dycus]

Unbelievablethat in this day and age, we cannot pause, rewind, FF live tv using Xumo/Spectrum App. We received our Xumo devices this week, hooked them up, thought they were great, until I wanted to go to the bathroom and tried to pause what I was watching. Nope, cannot do that. We are back to our cable boxes. However, I might keep the Xumo devices, since they are inexpensive, for streaming and in the hopes that they figure out how to add pausing live TV.

In order to rewind live TV there needs to be something recording and storing content as it is watched. Even traditional cable needs a DVR to do this, and we do offer a Cloud DVR service which can grant those capabilities through the Spectrum TV app.

At this time no device that has access to use the Spectrum TV app has the ability to pause/rewind/fast forward live TV. That is only an ability of the physical DVR boxes we offer. There is no information as to if or when this function will be available on the app.

I'm sorry, we do have Cloud DVR service that will allow you to start an in-progress recording and then view that recording with rewind/fast forward up until live. I will be happy to forward your feedback about this feature without the DVR.

We just received our xumo and started spectrum streaming. We cloudDVR the national news every evening. It appears that we cannot fast forward through the commercials and unwanted stories with the xumo but our Roku will do it. What am I missing???.

Just found the same issue. These devices have a long way to go. The progress bar on recorded shows do not differentiate between the program and commercials and is not easy for seniors to figure out how to fast foward and remind. Spectrum needs to take some features that are included in many of the other streaming services and add them to this app to make it viable.

If you are not able to you should add the feature because it's a pain to do it without being able to see the picture while it's forwarding to see when you are at the end of the commercial. You have to keep stopping to check and usually you overshoot and have to rewind.

At this time pause/rewind/fast forward on live TV is not available on any device using the Spectrum TV app. This feature is solely available on the physical DVR boxes. I can definitely forward that feedback up for you as well.

Xumo is a rolling train wreck. Constantly get error messages either channel or program we are watching live is unavailable, recordings are unavailable while in midstream (same error message as with channels), switches channels to some random one, shuts off, unable to preview while fast forwarding, cannot page up or down, cannot get to what you want to watch via guide (must input channel number while not in guide), & finally, remote that works only when it wants to. Had tech replace line to the house & now on to the 2nd box. Nothing has helped!

I have the fastest internet available and my xumo box is about 4 feet from the router, but when watching channels in the Spectrum app, it periodically buffers for a few seconds. Sometimes almost as bad as dial up internet back in the 1990s. If it's on a music choice channel, the sound periodically stops for a second or two, then skips ahead a few seconds (I guess to catch up). A teck is coming the day after tomorrow. I'm curious as to weather or not others have experienced similar issues with xumo. Also, doesn't have the option to rewind a show your watching? Seems like it's lacking a lot of features that Comcast and Cox have in outer parts of the country . Fingers crossed the tech can fix the issue.

Thank you for reaching out to us. I am not sure what troubleshooting you have already completed. Have you attempted to reset the Xumo box and the internet equipment. The modem and router can be reset by unplugging the cable line, power line, and removing the battery backup if you have one for both the modem and the router for a solid 3-5 minutes. The Xumo box can be reset by unplugging the power to the box and then reconnecting it. Please try this and let us know if this helps out.

I turned in all my cable boxes naively thinking the Xumo stream box would be advanced enough to allow all functionality. A nice savings, but the inconvenience is not welcome. Get with it Spectrum and get your app updated with these typical functions please!

We are having the same problems. I have called Spectrum customer service 3 times and I feel certain no one knows they don't FF or RW because last week someone sent us two new remotes, claimed there was a defect in some remotes, which of course didn't FF or RW either. Finally, just to get me off the phone, the Xumo specialist said-go to your local store and get them to give you new Xumos, yours are broken. We've been rewinding since what, the 80s and VCRs? Why would they ever think this is an acceptable piece of equipment? I'm very unhappy with Specreum about this.

Why can't I fast forward the active screen. I can only see the time sequence, and not the picture. Therefore, I have to continue to guess where to stop forwarding, then reverse, then fast forward. It has been a year since this was brought up by a customer. Has the problem been remedied?

I'd like to clarify some things regarding pausing live TV. Even with traditional cable TV service pausing was only ever possible with a DVR or VCR actively recording what you are watching to a harddrive in the DVR or cassette in the VCR. It is only Live TV when at the very latest moment available in the broadcast, so you can never really pause live only switch between live and a recording.

Xumo and similar devices do not have the space inside for large storage drives, they connect you to online streaming services who almost all are providing content that is already recorded and saved on a server accessible by the cloud. The Spectrum TV app does provide access to On-Demand programming, which can be paused just like any other online streaming service. The availability of episodes is determined by the TV networks but almost all new shows are fully watchable on demand.

We do offer Cloud DVR service which saves recordings to a cloud server for you. It has many advantages even over regular DVR service, such as being able to view the recordings from any device with the Spectrum TV app not just the DVR that recorded it, and only one fee for the entire cDVR service instead of a seperate fee for each DVR box that is rented. As the Cloud DVR service is not tied to just that one device it doesn't automatically record everything you watch on it, but you can select to start and then view an in-progress recording which will then grant the pause and other capabilities you are expecting,

If anyone has additional feedback on the intended functions of Xumo this thread is the perfect place for it, but @Angelique_M and anyone else getting error messages or other problems that do not seem intended please create a new thread for assistance.

Just the other afternoon, someone in the Epiphan kitchen brought up a great question: what do you think of the future of live streaming video? What is going to be the next big thing in live video? That sparked a lively lunchtime speculation discussion involving holograms and (inevitably) space and time portals. But in all seriousness, that really got us wondering: what might the future of live streaming look like 5 years from now?

This is exactly why the company Cisco acquired a videoconferencing startup called WebEx way back in 2007. They successfully foresaw a future where live streaming is helping people to communicate better.

Live streaming is enhancing the way we learn. Conferences, talks, and events are being live streamed on regular basis. Universities like Harvard and Stanford are taking advantage of live lecture streaming. This gives their students access to knowledge anytime, anywhere, taking down barriers to education. Consequently, students who may not otherwise be present at the lecture are now able to partake.

Live Q&A sessions as a way to receive help immediately and from real, knowledgeable people will become more and more widespread. Similarly to current over-the-phone customer support, live video customer support centers will emerge. Receiving support with real-time visual aids will help solve issues faster.

The potential for AI and machine learning is huge, and there are many specific examples of how it can be applied. Be sure to check out our article on machine learning in live video production for all the full story.

With an increased amount of simultaneous live video traffic, internet users will have a hard time keeping track of all the events. This problem may be solved with live content aggregation services that will categorize streams, help viewers decide what to watch, and even schedule and set reminders for upcoming streams.

We see a future where live video is the standard for remote communication all across the board. In the near future, live streaming video will have the strongest effect on the way we learn, collaborate, market products and services, consume advertisements and entertainment, and receive tech support.

The key purpose of live streaming is to ultimately help us understand each other better despite being physically far away. Our mission here at Epiphan is to promote the democratization of live video production. We believe that live video is the new form of authentic interactive human dialogue and we want to help make it more accessible through our products and services.

For companies to stay relevant and attractive to customers in the future, they need to understand the fundamental changes happening in customer behavior today. During our webinar with Fonecta and Oslo Business Forum, thought leader on customer experience Steven Van Belleghem presented four of the most important changes happening in customer behavior and demonstrated how companies could prepare themselves for customers the day after tomorrow.

In the old world, the largest groups of people were nuanced in their opinion. In the new world where disinformation has spread like wildfire, and social media allows people to hide behind anonymity, consumer opinions are becoming more and more polarized.
