Do you need help with getting a Spectrum app on LG smart TV? It’s not a big deal to access your favorite TV shows and movies through Spectrum App on LG TV. 

There are a couple of ways to get the Spectrum app; even if you’re unable to find the app in LG Content Store, you can use the Airplay feature, screen mirroring, FireSticks, and Chromecast, etc., to access this streaming app. 

In today’s guide, we will talk about all these methods, so you can choose the most preferable procedure according to your choice. 

So let’s dive into it.

Is Spectrum App Available On LG TV?

Just like Android TVs have Google Play Store, likewise LG smart TVs come with LG Content Store. There are bundles of apps available on the LG content store, but does it have a Spectrum app?

Unfortunately, the Spectrum app is not available for WebOS. Therefore, you can’t directly down the app on LG TV. Rather you have to opt for a few alternatives that are also effective and work very well. 

I’m personally using an Amazon FireStick with my LG NanoCell 65” TV to get the Spectrum app and other streaming services. 

LG WebOS lacks some of the big apps like Daily Wire, Crunchyroll, ESPN+, and some other streaming services. 

But you don’t need to worry, and I’m going to share the exact methods that will help you to stream Spectrum app on LG TV. 

1- Use Airplay Feature

Installing Spectrum App on LG TV

Being an iPhone user Airplay feature is one of my favorite thing that lets me share content from my iPhone to LG TV. Thankfully, with Airplay, you can mirror content on TV in its peak resolution. 

Unluckily, Android phone users can’t use this feature, so they can skip this step. 

Secondly, the Airplay feature is only available on LG TVs that are running on WebOS 4.0 and later versions. So if you’re using a 2018 model LG TV or upper versions, then you can take advantage of Airplay. 

The Airplay feature is available across all Apple devices, including iPhones, Macs, and iPads. So if you have any one of them, you can easily get the Spectrum app on LG TV.
