How do I add the spectrum TV app to my Apple TV app on my LG TV? I would like to stream that through Apple TV. I have the Apple TV app and have it set up but can not figure how to add the spectrum TV. I do have it on my Apple TV external box.

How do I add the spectrum TV app to my Apple TV app on my LG TV? I would like to stream that through Apple TV. I have the Apple TV app and have it set up but can not figure how to add the spectrum TV. I do have it on my Apple TV external box and that works. But since my new super smart TV has the Apple TV built into it, I was wondering if I could do the same on the TV so that I would no longer need the external Apple TV box connection to stream spectrum TV through?

The Apple TV app on supported smart TVs has a fixed number of services. The Apple TV app is not a full replacement of the Apple TV box, which does much more, including providing an App Store for other apps and services.

You have to ask Spectrum what devices they support. I know they support the Apple TV box (4th generation or later). They may not support your LG TV natively. Then you will need to connect a streaming device to your TV, e.g. the Apple TV box.
