Guardians of the Glades Slithers Into Your Living Room May 28

Discovery’s newest reality show airs Tuesdays at 9pm Central. Watch on C Spire TV or on demand via the Discovery App.

Florida has a snake problem – and snake hunter Dusty Crum has assembled the team to tackle it. The Everglades, considered the largest subtropical wilderness in the U.S., is a wetland paradise in the southern tip of Florida that is home to hundreds of unique species of wildlife. Once brimming with an abundance of life, today this swampy utopia and the native wildlife who call it home are in grave danger.

A new predator in town, the Burmese Python, has already decimated more than 90 percent of certain mammal and bird species in parts of the Everglades. Now, one man has made it his life’s calling – and business – to save the Glades from these foreign predators and total destruction.

Understanding Replay TV & Start Over Features on C Spire TV

Understanding Replay TV & Start Over Features on C Spire TV

We’ve had a few customers call in or utilize on online product feedback / suggestion forum about Replay TV and Start Over features. This post is meant to help provide some detail about the features and why there seems to be an inconsistent ability to utilize these features across networks and programming.

Why aren’t all channels available via Replay TV?

The reason not all channels are available via Replay TV is that not all networks grant us the right to offer what is called ‘Look Back’ in the TV industry. The TV Networks (ABC, TBS, ESPN, etc.) tell C Spire if we can record their content automatically and allow our customers to view previously aired shows.

And to take this a step further, even for a network that regularly allows for Replay TV content, there can be individual shows that they say can not be included.

To get a better sense of what channels allow Replay TV and which channels do not, please refer to our online channel lineup.

Why don’t all shows have Start Over feature?

The reason not all shows allow you to rewind to the beginning is that not all networks grant us the right to offer this feature. TV Networks tell C Spire which shows and channels can have this feature and we simply enforce the rights that we are given.

We’re very excited to announce that our C Spire TV platform has received a top national television technology award from Cablefax for the 2017 introduction of the nation’s first app-based, live streaming digital commercial TV service.

We will be formally honored along with other award winners on March 6th during a special breakfast program at The Yale Club in New York City.  The program recognizes the industry’s most outstanding practices and products powering television technology and digital communications.

We built C Spire TV from the ground up based upon the needs of our customers. During various stages of development, we invited customers to help test and provide direction on what features and functionality they wanted most.  And since launch we continue to rely upon our customers to help navigate the course for this amazing new TV platform.

Snuggle In For a C Spire Holiday Movie Marathon

Just in time for your Thanksgiving weekend, we’ve created a new curated list of some of our favorite Holiday season movies!

On your TV, access the list by navigating to the Movies page. And on mobile devices or on http://cspire.tv access the list right on the main Featured page.

Our Holiday Movie list includes both currently viewable On Demand as well as upcoming releases. And with our iPad, iPhone or Android apps, you can watch your holiday fav’s on almost any device you can think of! See, technology can make life better.

Have a favorite Holiday film you don’t see in our list? Use the Search feature in the main menu, type a few characters, and we’ll start showing you results so you don’t have to spell out the whole title. Pretty cool huh?
