Features included with Spectrum TV packages

Spectrum TV equipment and fees

Whichever Spectrum TV package you choose, it will also come with its share of fees.

• Broadcast fee: $10-$15/mo. All packages come with a Broadcast fee, which will vary depending on where you live. This fee seems a bit unfair, but you can expect a similar fee from virtually any traditional TV provider.
• TV box fee: $7.99/mo. per device. You’ll need a Spectrum HD TV receiver for every TV you want service on, and each one will add to your bill.
• DVR fee: $4.99/mo. for one device, $9.99/mo. for two or more. It’s a relatively small price to pay for DVR service, but you’ll have to schedule recordings strategically as you can only record two shows at once. You do have the option to pass on the DVR service, however, making this fee the only one you can avoid.
• Installation fee: $9.99 for self-install, $49.99 for professional install. The fee for the self-installation covers the cable-modem that you need. Self-install is fairly simple, so if you’re up for it and it’s available, go that route to save $40 off the upfront costs.
• Price increase after promo period: After 12 months with Spectrum, your promo period will end and your Spectrum bill will increase up to $35/mo. You can expect for your TV bill to increase by $25/mo. and if you have a phone bill, that will increase by $10/mo. 
• Late payment fee: $8.95 per late payment. However, this fee is not applied until 30 days after your original payment date, which is a fairly generous grace period. 

If you are wondering how much these fees can add up to, here is an example. If you purchase the Spectrum TV Silver package for $70/mo., you will also have to pay the monthly broadcast fee, the monthly TV box fee and the monthly DVR fee. This adds up to a maximum of $103/mo. After the first 12 months, this fee will increase by $25/mo., totaling to $128/mo.
