Spectrum TV equipment and fees
Various fees can increase your Spectrum bill — we’ve listed a few that you should keep in mind.Expect to pay between $4.99 to $60.
Spectrum offers video customers the Xumo Stream Box* that enables them to access live TV, On Demand titles, movies, and top streaming apps all in one place. Xumo Stream Box is only $5/mo or free for six months with any Spectrum TV Plan.*
- Broadcast fee: Up to $25.75/mo. All packages come with a Broadcast fee, which will vary depending on your package. This fee helps offset the costs of providing access to local broadcast or network-affiliated stations.
- HD TV box fee: $12.50/mo. per box. You’ll need a Spectrum HD TV receiver for every TV you want service on, and each one will add to your bill.
- DVR fee: $4.99/mo. for one device, $9.99/mo. for two or more. It’s a relatively small price to pay for DVR service, but you’ll have to schedule recordings strategically as you can only record two shows at once. You do have the option to pass on the DVR service; however, making this fee the only one you can avoid.
- Installation: For both internet and TV, Spectrum charges a maximum of $30.00 for self-installation. In some areas, self-installation isn’t available, and you’ll be charged up to $65.00 for professional installation.
- Price increase after promo period: After 12 months with Spectrum, your promo period will end and your Spectrum bill will increase up to $25/mo.
- Late payment fee: $4.75 per late payment. However, this fee is not applied until 45 days after your original payment date, which is a fairly generous grace period.
FREE XUMO STREAM BOX: Offer limited to one box per account; must be redeemed at same time as qualifying Spectrum TV service. Spectrum Internet required. Separate subscriptions are required to view content through various paid applications. Standard rates apply after promo period or if qualifying services not maintained. Xumo Stream Box and all other Xumo product names, logos, slogans and marks are the trademarks of Xumo or its licensors. ©2024 Charter Communications. 01/31/24
