In this guide, I will introduce two proven methods to watch Spectrum TV on your Fire Stick, along with an alternative option.

Let’s get started!

Method 1: Use Amazon Silk To Access the Spectrum Live Website

Amazon Silk is a web browser launched by Amazon in 2011 and allows you to access the internet from tablets, TVs, and Fire Sticks. 

What this means is you can go directly to the Spectrum Live website and log into your account from there, allowing you to stream your favorite content as you would if using the app. 

To achieve this, follow these steps:

Step 1: Once you have plugged in your Fire Stick and are at the home screen, select the  Application icons and then find the Silk Browser and launch it.

Step 2: After the app has loaded, type “https://watch.spectrum.net/” into the search bar and press “Go”. 

Step 3: Enter your login credentials for your Spectrum account.

At this point, you should be brought to the main page of your Spectrum TV account via the Fire Stick’s web browser. You are all ready to enjoy your favorite sports, shows, and news channels.
