Additional fees to consider
You will notice that your monthly cable bill will be a bit larger than the quoted monthly service price. That’s mainly due to fees that most ISPs charge:
- Broadcast TV Service Charge: Federal law allows U.S. broadcast TV stations to negotiate with ISPs in order to obtain consent to carry their broadcast signals, like hosting a regional sports network.
- Equipment fees — There are fees attached to your receiver, remote, DVR services and CableCARD.
- Setup and installation fees — Spectrum does charge a fee for professional installation.
Benefits of Spectrum TV Select
Free HD

Free Primetime on Demand
Spectrum TV Select includes access to 30,000 TV and movie titles that you can view at home, on mobile, your tablet or Roku, Xbox One or Samsung Smart TV.
Spectrum TV vs. live TV streaming
Cutting the cable cord in favor of picking up a live TV streaming service like DIRECTV STREAM has been a trend for a few years.
We take a look at the pros and cons of cable vs. live TV streaming:
Spectrum TV
Spectrum offers a good price point at $49.99/mo. for 125 channels
No contracts
Unimpressive DVR. Expect recording conflicts with Spectrum’s DVR, which allows for only two simultaneous recordings.
Fees can run up your bill. After the Broadcast fee, DVR fee and charges for each TV box you need, monthly fees for Spectrum TV add up to over $30.
DIRECTV
DIRECTV STREAM is plug and play. No cable box or appointments are needed.
DIRECTV STREAM’s channel lineup includes more popular channels than any other streaming service.
DIRECTV STREAM is one of the pricier live TV streaming services, especially when you add sports.
Sports cost more. You’ll only find regional sports networks (RSNs) in $89.99/mo. plans and above.
