Spectrum doesn't offer a standalone streaming service like Hulu or Netflix. However, they do provide cable TV packages that include the Spectrum TV App, essentially allowing you to stream live TV and on-demand content on your devices. This can be a great option for cord-cutters who still want access to local channels and live sports.
With Spectrum TV, you get a traditional cable TV subscription but with the added benefit of streaming. Once subscribed, you can download the Spectrum TV App on your smartphone, tablet, computer, or streaming devices like Roku or Fire TV. The app allows you to watch live TV channels included in your package, browse on-demand content, and even record shows remotely using the Spectrum DVR app (might require an additional fee).
The overall cost depends on your needs and viewing habits. While Spectrum eliminates traditional cable TV box rental fees, the combined cost of internet and a TV package might be similar to a base cable plan. However, you might find it cheaper with Spectrum if you value features like high-speed internet, unlimited data, and the flexibility to stream on multiple devices.
Even with Spectrum TV, you might still want access to specific streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, or Disney+. The good news is that Spectrum's high-speed internet plans allow you to seamlessly subscribe to these additional streaming services and enjoy their vast libraries of on-demand content.
Spectrum TV pricing varies depending on the package you choose. They offer various packages with different channel selections, starting from around $40 per month (may require bundling with internet). These packages include access to the Spectrum TV App for streaming. Keep in mind that additional fees for premium channels or DVR service might apply.
