How to Get and Use Spectrum App on Firestick?

Spectrum app is officially unavailable on Firestick devices. Although you can download the app using third-party tools, you’ll come across the “We’re sorry, Spectrum TV is unsupported on this device. Reference Code: DFE-10001” error message.

Also, when you attempt to open the Spectrum website on the Amazon Silk browser, it asks you to install an updated version or use a supported browser. Since the Amazon Silk browser is incompatible with Firestick, you cannot browse the website too. 

Luckily, the Spectrum TV mobile app supports the casting feature. So, the only workable alternative is to stream it on your device and cast it on Firestick.
