How to Get Spectrum App on Vizio Smart TV With No V Button

The Vizio Smart TV comes with several preset apps, however, downloading newer apps can be difficult. In general, you may add a variety of apps to your Vizio smart TV. The Spectrum TV app is a useful addition, however, it cannot be downloaded straight to your Vizio TV. Casting it through a PC, smartphone, or tablet is the only way to get it to function.

The SmartCast platform makes it easy to access content and adjust settings, but it has a limited selection of apps. It relies on its ability to receive apps that are cast from your smart device. What’s impressive is that the implementation of this process is more than perfect.

I spent a lot of time combing through a lot of forum postings in my hunt for more information, and Vizio support was quite helpful.

What option do we have to get the Spectrum app on Vizio Smart TV with no V Button?

Here is the explanation:

To Get the Spectrum App on Vizio Smart TV with No V Button, You will need to get a Roku device, plug in, download the spectrum app, and watch spectrum on Vizio TV without a V button on your remote or smart cast TV.

However, there is another way you can get the spectrum app on your Vizio TV with no v button by using the third-party APP.

Both methods will be discussed in detail below.

Limitations:

• Not all Vizio TVs support the Spectrum app, so knowing which model you have will help determine whether your TV supports the app.
• For the Spectrum app to work, your Vizio TV needs to have Chromecast built-in, which is the case for newer Vizio TVs.
• You’ll need to cast the Spectrum app from your phone or computer to your TV; that is why you need Chromecast support.
• All new Vizio TVs, including the V-, M-, P-series, and the OLED TV, have SmartCast support.
• If your TV remote has a button that says ‘V,’ your TV supports SmartCast.
• Vizio started rolling out SmartCast TVs in 2016, so if you purchased your TV new after that year, the chances that your TV supports SmartCast are very high.
• SmartCast lets you use the TV as a Chromecast and stream almost anything on your phone to your Vizio TV.
