Spectrum TV Stream is an internet/streaming skinny bundle service introduced to the market to Spectrum Internet customers who do not subscribe to Spectrum pay-TV service. If that basic description rings a bell, it’s because you’ve been paying attention. On the surface, it appears to be Spectrum TV Choice.
What exactly is the distinction between Spectrum TV Choice and Spectrum TV Stream?
The distinction between the two is almost entirely a matter of taste. Spectrum TV Choice allows users to choose 10 networks from a large selection of options, including access to local network affiliates and several smaller digital tier networks, as well as access to local network affiliates and several smaller digital tier networks. Things like 7.1 and 7.2, which are home to networks like Charge and Comet. Users can even change their lineup by dialing a number and changing it.
Spectrum TV Stream, on the other hand, has a pre-programmed lineup of 25 channels that includes the four major networks, Fox, ABC, NBC, and CBS, as well as PBS and 20 cable stations, one of which is Spectrum News. The cable channels are as follows:
FXM, A&E USA, Animal Planet, FX, FXX, CNN, Freeform, TBS, AMC, Discovery, HGTV, Food Network, Hallmark Channel, Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, E, TNT, Comedy Central, Oxygen, and TLC.
Spectrum’s base channel score is relatively low (125+) when compared to other cable TV providers, and its DVR service isn’t particularly noteworthy. However, keep in mind that Spectrum will buy out your contract for up to $500.
