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.

On Android 

For Android users, you can easily screen mirror the content using an in-built Cast, Mirror cast and SmartView features. Before you begin, you must enable screen mirroring on Firestick first.

Step 1: Enable Screen Mirroring on Firestick

  1. From the Home screen, go to the Gear icon in the upper-right corner for settings. 
  2. Choose Display & Audio Menu. 
    Choose-Display-&-Audio-Menu
  3. Select Enable Display Mirroring. 
    Select-Enable-Display-Mirroring
  4. You will be on the Display Mirroring screen.(Refrain from pressing any remote buttons while you are on the screen.)

  8. AirScreen will appear on your phone’s screen. Pick the Entire screen or In-app content. 
     Pick Entire screen or In-app content.

Step 2: AirPlay Spectrum TV App to Firestick
