Quick Answer: Spectrum’s three main TV plans are Stream TV Signature (150+ channels, $100 a month on promotion, $130 standard), Stream TV Pro (160+ channels, $110 promo, $140 standard) and Stream TV VIP (230+ channels, $145 promo, $175 standard). They are the old TV Select Signature, TV Select Plus and TV Platinum, renamed from September 16, 2026, with no change to channels or price for existing customers. Pick Signature if you want the big cable networks plus the bundled streaming apps, Pro only if you need your local team’s regional sports network, and VIP only if you would otherwise buy both of Spectrum’s add-on packs.
What does each Spectrum Stream TV plan cost and include?
The prices below come from Spectrum’s own plan price sheet as checked on September 24, 2026. The promo rate is for new customers, and the standard rate is what the plan costs once that offer ends. Channel counts are Spectrum’s rounded figures and move a little from one area to the next. For the channel-by-channel list under each plan, see our full Spectrum channel lineup.
| Plan (2026 name) | Old name | Channels | Promo / mo | Standard / mo | Regional sports network | Premium channels |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| TV Lite | TV Stream | 85+ | $40 | $45 | No | Paid add-on |
| Stream TV Signature | TV Select Signature | 150+ | $100 | $130 | No | Paid add-on |
| Stream TV Pro | TV Select Plus | 160+ | $110 | $140 | Yes | Paid add-on |
| Stream TV VIP | TV Platinum | 230+ | $145 | $175 | Yes | Included (STARZ, ad-free HBO Max, Paramount+ Premium) |
| Stream TV Latino Más | Mi Plan Latino | 170+ (70+ in Spanish) | $75 | $90 | No | Paid add-on |
Which streaming apps come with each plan?
All three Stream TV plans include the same core set of apps at no extra charge: Disney+, Hulu, ESPN Unlimited, HBO Max Basic with ads, Peacock Premium with ads, Paramount+ Essential, AMC+ with ads, discovery+, FOX One and ViX Premium with ads. Spectrum puts the value of that bundle at about $119 a month if you paid for each app yourself. Pro adds the Tennis Channel app (Spectrum’s figure rises to about $129), and VIP adds STARZ (about $141). TV Lite does not include the app bundle.
Worth knowing: the apps only save you money if you cancel the copies you already pay for. If you keep a separate Disney+ or Peacock subscription running, you are paying twice.
Is VIP worth it? Do the add-on math first
Spectrum sells two add-on packs. Sports View costs $10 a month and adds 16 channels, including NFL Network, NFL RedZone, NBA TV, MLB Network, NHL Network, Golf Channel and CBS Sports Network. Entertainment Pack + costs $25 a month and adds 80+ channels, including ad-free HBO Max and Paramount+ Premium. Put both on top of Pro and look at the total:
| What you buy | Promo / mo | Standard / mo |
|---|---|---|
| Stream TV Pro | $110 | $140 |
| Plus Sports View | $10 | $10 |
| Plus Entertainment Pack + | $25 | $25 |
| Pro with both packs | $145 | $175 |
| Stream TV VIP | $145 | $175 |
The totals match VIP to the dollar, and VIP throws in STARZ as well. So VIP is a fair deal only for a household that would buy both packs anyway. If the only extra you want is NFL RedZone, VIP costs you $35 a month more than you need to spend.
Note: after the rename Spectrum calls the sports pack “Sports Pack”, but its price sheet still used the Sports View name when we checked.
Pro or Signature plus Sports View: which $110 is better?
At promo prices these two combinations cost exactly the same, and after the promo both come to $140. What differs is the kind of sports you get.
| Feature | Stream TV Pro | Signature + Sports View |
|---|---|---|
| Regional sports network for local MLB, NBA and NHL teams | Yes | No |
| NFL RedZone and NFL Network | Only if you also add Sports View | Yes |
| NBA TV, MLB Network, NHL Network | Only if you also add Sports View | Yes |
| Tennis Channel | Yes | Yes |
| Price, promo then standard | $110, then $140 | $110, then $140 |
If you follow a local pro team whose games air on a regional sports network, Pro is the one to buy. If your sport is the NFL on Sunday afternoons and you have no local team to follow, Signature plus Sports View is the better $110. Our NFL RedZone on Spectrum guide shows where RedZone sits in the lineup, and if a separate sports charge ever shows up on your bill, the regional sports fee guide explains what it is.
Which Spectrum plan should you pick?
| If this sounds like you | Pick | Why |
|---|---|---|
| You watch local news and a handful of cable networks, and already pay for your own streaming apps | TV Lite, $40 | 85+ channels without paying for an app bundle you would not use |
| You want the main cable networks plus Disney+, Hulu, HBO Max and Peacock on one bill | Stream TV Signature, $100 | The cheapest plan with the full app bundle |
| Your local baseball, basketball or hockey team matters most | Stream TV Pro, $110 | The lowest tier that carries regional sports networks |
| You watch NFL RedZone every Sunday but have no local team | Signature plus Sports View, $110 | RedZone, NFL Network and the other league channels |
| Your home would buy both the sports and premium packs | Stream TV VIP, $145 | Same price as Pro with both packs, plus STARZ |
| You want Spanish-language channels and some English ones | Stream TV Latino Más, $75 | 170+ channels, 70+ in Spanish, with ViX Premium and Paramount+ Essential |
What will your Spectrum bill actually come to?
The plan price is not the whole bill. Before you order, add up these four things:
- The Broadcast TV Surcharge. Spectrum bills have listed it separately for years, and it reached $25.75 a month in many markets after Spectrum’s January 2024 increase. Spectrum has since been moving newer offers toward all-in pricing, so whether it appears on top of your plan depends on your market and the offer you take. Look for it on the order summary before you confirm. Our broadcast TV fee guide explains why the charge exists.
- Equipment. Spectrum’s Xumo Stream Box was priced at $5 a month or $60 to buy outright when Spectrum last announced box pricing. A traditional cable receiver costs more per month.
- Taxes and local fees, which depend on your city and state.
- The promo cliff. On Signature, Pro and VIP the standard rate is $30 a month higher, so a $100 plan becomes $130 plus fees when the offer ends. Set a reminder a month before the end date so you can ask about a new offer or change tier.
Note: we could not confirm the 2026 surcharge figure for every market, so treat $25.75 as a guide, not a quote.
Already a Spectrum customer? What the rename means for you
Nothing changes except the name. In its August 14, 2026 letter to New York regulators, Charter, Spectrum’s parent company, said existing customers keep the same package, channels and price. The add-ons were renamed the same way: Sports View became Sports Pack, Entertainment View became Entertainment Pack, Entertainment + became Entertainment Pack +, and Latino View became Latino Pack. The only thing you need to do is recognize the new name on your next bill. To check which plan you are on, sign in to your account (our Spectrum login guide covers every way to do that) and look at your TV service.
Common problems and quick fixes
| Problem | Likely fix |
|---|---|
| My bill says “Stream TV Pro” and I never changed plans | That is the new name for TV Select Plus. Your channels and price are the same. |
| An included app such as HBO Max or Peacock asks me to pay | The app has probably not been linked to your Spectrum account yet. Activate it through your Spectrum account rather than starting a new subscription inside the app. |
| My local team’s games are missing on Signature | Regional sports networks come with Pro and VIP, not Signature. |
| I can’t find NFL RedZone | RedZone is in Sports View (now Sports Pack), a $10 add-on, and it is included in VIP. |
| My bill went up by about $30 | The promotional rate has ended. Ask Spectrum about current offers, or move down a tier. |
| I need a channel number for my area | Numbers change by market. Look it up in the TV Channel Finder. |
