Why do you have a VPN profile to begin with?
From the symptom I suggest that some entity-parent, school or business, wants all iPhone usage to go through their network so they can monitor it.

Is your iPhone managed by parental controls, Mobile Device Management from a business or school, or does it have a business or school email account on it? In all of these cases you may be restricted to only connecting using VPN.
Contact your VPN support folks and ask them how to completely remove the VPN.
You will be able to connect your TV to Spectrum at this point.
If you must have a VPN.......(the only valid reason to even use a VPN would be that your company or school requires a VPN to connect to their network)......you can try to reinstall the VPN at this time.
You may....or may not....be able to connect your TV at this point.
You should be aware...... despite what you might have heard, or the fancy VPN advertising might claim.....a VPN provides less......not more....security for your network.
So, unless you are required to use a VPN by your company or school, your best and safest move would be to avoid using a VPN.
Remove the VPN profile from your phone.

Likely that or the OP was conned into installing a VPN profile by deceptive advertising, popups, or magazine articles peddling advertisers products as useful at the expense of their integrity.
How do I stop my iPhone 16 from automatically turning on VPN?
