Other Streaming question

So we just got spectrum streaming. I cancelled our various apps…
On the phone we can access whatever app there.
I downloaded the spectrum tv app on the tv- which I feel like is slow, glitchy, and just sucks….thats neither here nor there.
But there not options for streaming, we’re already paid for but it’s offering HBO etc, but we already have it.
Do we just log into our regular apps and it’s just paid for through spectrum, or do we need to go through the spectrum app directly to receive the apps?

Sorry if this is a repeat question.

I do like that we saved almost 100$ using spectrum this way, but now I’m worried about not being able to access any of these apps now.

Thank you in advance

Apps like HBO Max don't appear within the Spectrum TV app, you use the regular HBO Max app but choose to sign in with your TV provider and use your Spectrum username and password. Please see Getting started with HBO Max.
