Spectrum TV Plans and Channel Lineup 2026

Does Spectrum TV include local channels?

Signature, Pro, VIP and Latino Más are designed to include local and live television, but the exact station list depends on the broadcast market and service address. One city can have different affiliates from a neighboring city, and carriage agreements can change.

TV Lite is the lower-cost streaming tier and generally does not deliver the full set of traditional local broadcast affiliates. TV Latino can include Spanish-language local or national feeds depending on the market, but it should not be treated as a guaranteed replacement for every local station.

Before ordering, ask for the exact availability of:

1. Your local ABC, CBS, FOX and NBC affiliates
2. PBS and The CW
3. Telemundo and Univision
4. Any independent local station you watch
5. Your local Spectrum News channel, if offered

An over-the-air antenna can supplement a streaming plan in some homes, but reception depends on distance, terrain, building materials and antenna placement.

Equipment, Xumo and compatible devices

Do you need a Xumo Stream Box?

No. If your television or streaming device supports the Spectrum TV App, you may be able to watch without a traditional receiver or Xumo box. Compatible platforms include many Roku, Apple TV, Samsung, LG, Vizio, Google TV/Android TV, Amazon Fire TV and Xbox devices, plus phones, tablets and web browsers. Device and model support can change.

What Xumo adds

Xumo Stream Box plugs into a TV’s HDMI port and combines the Spectrum TV App with other streaming apps in one interface. It includes a voice remote, integrated search, watchlists and live-TV pause features on supported services.

Spectrum currently says a Xumo Stream Box is included when adding a Spectrum TV plan and lists additional boxes at $5 per month each. Some offer materials describe the included box as promotional or time-limited, so confirm the exact equipment term—monthly charge, included period, return requirement and ownership—before ordering.

Traditional receivers and DVR

A traditional Spectrum receiver may still be available or required for certain configurations. Equipment and DVR charges can apply per TV or per account. If recording matters, ask whether the offer includes Cloud DVR, how many recordings it supports, how long recordings remain available and which devices can play them.

Equipment checklist before checkout

• Can every TV already run the Spectrum TV App?
• Is one Xumo box included, and for how long?
• What does each additional box or receiver cost per month?
• Is Cloud DVR included or extra?
• Can live TV be paused on the selected device?
• What equipment must be returned after cancellation?
• Are there unreturned-equipment charges?

Does Spectrum TV require Spectrum Internet?

TV Lite and TV Latino explicitly require Spectrum Internet. The box-free Spectrum TV App experience also needs an internet connection, and Spectrum’s offer pages commonly pair the larger TV packages with Spectrum Internet.

For Signature, Pro, VIP and Latino Más, confirm the address-specific ordering rules. A traditional receiver configuration and a streaming-only configuration may not have identical requirements. Even when TV service can be ordered in another configuration, using the full in-home Spectrum TV App lineup depends on being recognized on the home network.

For reliable streaming, Spectrum recommends at least 10 Mbps for live TV, but a household with several simultaneous HD or 4K streams needs more total capacity. Wi-Fi quality and device placement matter as much as the plan’s headline speed.

Spectrum TV add-ons and premium networks

Entertainment Pack+

Spectrum currently promotes Entertainment Pack+ for $25 per month with 80+ channels and premium access including ad-free HBO Max and Paramount+ Premium. Confirm the complete local lineup before adding it.

Sports Pack

The $10 per month Sports Pack currently advertises 16 specialty sports channels. It is included within Stream TV VIP.

Other add-ons

Depending on location and base plan, Spectrum may offer individual premium networks, Latino, international and specialty packages. Add-ons should be chosen channel by channel; a large count does not guarantee the specific network you want.

Why check the complete address?

Large comparison sites can show a national price or match a ZIP code. That still does not confirm the exact local stations, RSN, installation method, offer eligibility or equipment at a home or apartment.

Telemedia Solutions checks the service address, explains the current terms and helps place the order at the provider’s own price.

How the Spectrum TV address check works

1. Share the service address. Include the apartment or unit number when applicable.
2. We confirm availability. We check the Spectrum TV plans, local lineup and current promotions available there.
3. Compare the real terms. Review first-year and standard price, channels, included apps, internet requirement, equipment and installation.
4. Choose—or don’t. If a plan fits, we can help place the order. There is no obligation.

Why trust this comparison?

• Telemedia Solutions is an independent authorized retailer and is not owned by Spectrum.
• Spectrum owns and operates its network and delivers the service.
• Spectrum sets pricing, promotions, eligibility and service terms.
• Spectrum handles billing, installation and ongoing technical support.
• Telemedia Solutions may be compensated by providers for completed qualifying orders; that does not change the customer’s provider price.
