8 Best Spectrum TV Choice Alternatives Right Now

Existing Spectrum internet users have a choice to subscribe to Spectrum TV Choice, a live TV streaming service that gives you access to 25 cable channels, 15 of which you can handpick. At $29.99, it's an appealing package if you want a personalized channel lineup and a consolidated bill for your TV and internet usage. The choices aren't bad, either, since you can pick from channels as diverse as AMC and CNN to ESPN and Disney Channel. 

That sounds great on its own, but when stacked against the competition, you may find Spectrum TV Choice a bit wanting in terms of channel number and DVR storage (you'll need to pay extra for this). For a few more dollars, you can already get almost double the number of channels on Sling TV and for none at all, you can get more content on Tubi. Almost all other live TV services offer DVR storage as well.

If you’re looking for Spectrum TV Choice alternatives right now, we list the best of them below.

DirecTV is a Live TV streaming platform with a twist: you can download the app on any of your existing devices, or for a $120, you can get a box with a custom remote control for the service. But without the box, DirecTV functions like a Netflix or Hulu, allowing you to stream Live TV from anywhere by downloading the app. Within your home, you can stream on up to 20 devices (!), and from outside your home you can stream on up to three devices.

Sling Blue has one of the best price-quality ratios for cord-cutters. For only $50.99, you get access to big networks like AMC, Bravo, TBS, National Geographic, and NBC. This package from Sling makes the most sense for cord-cutters who don't watch ESPN or the Disney Channel, which are included in the "Sling Orange" offer.

If you already have other streaming services like Netflix and Amazon Prime, Philo is the perfect option to get access to Live TV without spending too much money. At $25, it has an offer that beats much more expensive services. Plus, in terms of the channel lineup, it has a little bit for everyone, from news channels like BBC World News to the Discovery Channel, to Nickelodeon and Vice. If you're looking for more on-demand, their Bundle+ plan comes with Max and Discovery+ included.

Free Trial: 3 days

Device availability: Amazon Fire TV, Android, Android TV, Apple TV, Chromecast, Google TV Streamer, iOS, iPhone, LG TV, Nintendo Switch, Roku, Samsung TV, Xbox

Tubi

Dubbed "The Free Netflix," Tubi is one of the best options for streaming quality movies and TV shows online. The completely free, ad-supported service has one of the most extensive title lineups, plus it's compatible with most devices, making it an extremely popular option for cord-cutters. Though it has been noted to have a less-than-stellar resolution, most viewers don't mind due to its easy interface, constantly updated library, and of course free titles. Parents will also be glad to know that the service has parental control features.

Price: free for 78 channels available

Device availability: Airplay, Amazon Fire TV, Android, Android TV, Apple TV, Chromecast, Google TV Streamer, iOS, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Roku, Samsung Smart TV, Sony, TiVo, Vizio, Xbox One

If you enjoy using the DVR option, Youtube TV is arguably the best option in the market for you: it gives you unlimited DVR storage on the Cloud (accessible from any of your devices), and it saves each of your recordings for 9 months. Also, you can share Youtube TV with up to six accounts, so if you have a big family, this is a much better option than getting a bunch of cheaper Live TV subscriptions. Youtube TV allows up to three accounts of the six to watch at the same time.
