The subject in question refers to the application provided by Spectrum (Charter Communications) that allows subscribers to stream television content directly on TCL-brand smart televisions. This eliminates the need for a separate set-top box for accessing Spectrum’s cable television service, provided the television is connected to the subscriber’s home internet network.
The availability of this functionality provides considerable convenience. It reduces clutter by removing the requirement for additional hardware. Historically, cable television services required dedicated equipment at each viewing location. This capability represents a shift towards integrated, software-based content delivery, offering increased flexibility and potential cost savings by minimizing equipment rentals.
