Traditional TV used to be simple: turn it on, flip through channels and catch whatever’s live. Eventually, updates like DVR and On Demand were introduced through certain providers. Then came streaming. Suddenly, viewers could watch shows and movies on their own time – no cable box, no schedule. For a while, it felt like streaming and cable were in competition. But with Spectrum, cable and streaming work together to provide all-in-one entertainment because Spectrum TV® includes the streaming apps you want at no additional cost – read on to learn more.
Many households are finding that a mix of both cable and streaming offers the best experience. And with Spectrum, you don’t have to choose. Spectrum TV plans now include popular streamings like HBO Max Basic With Ads, ESPN Unlimited, Hulu, Disney+, Paramount+ Essential, Peacock Premium, FOX One and more - providing over $100/mo in value, all at no additional cost to you.

Streaming gave viewers more freedom. Platforms like Netflix, Hulu and Disney+ put thousands of titles at your fingertips, accessible on your schedule. For many people, streaming meant:
Watching on-demand shows and movies
Flexibility to watch on any device
Easy control: pause, rewind, fast-forward
