The typical way one would expect to cast from the spectrum app to your tv would simply be to click the cast button in the spectrum app. Unfortunately, there is no cast button. From within the spectrum app, you can only select your set top boxes to (cast) stream. With other stream players like fire tv, nvidia shield, you can not stream to your tv from outside your home network...it says "please remove the secondary hdmi"
A way around this is to log into spectrum using the Chrome browser and a chromecast device (nvidia sheild, chromecast, etc.) connected to your tv.
In this example I will explain how to stream to your tv from your tablet for Spectrum cable.
First login to the spectrum webpage with your spectrum login info. Then click "watch live tv."
This brings up a window with the live tv and options for guide, on demand, etc. Once you see this on your tablet, simply click the three dots in the upper right hand corner of the chrome browser and click the word "cast". It will ask which chromecast to cast to, select the one you want and voila, you are streaming (casting) from the spectrum web page to your tv - you are able to watch live tv and on demand (though some channels are blocked if you are outside your home network). You control what you are watching with your tablet and the TV acts as a secondary, main display.
