The split most New York Spectrum customers actually want

Spectrum is often the internet in the building. It is also the TV package, the box, and the line item that reprices after a promo. Those are different products. IPTV NYC only replaces the video. If you cancel the broadband, nothing here will load. If you keep the broadband and drop TV, you need a player on a device you already own — usually Firestick — and a prepaid plan from $15 to $65.

We are not publishing a Spectrum TV monthly number on this page. Spectrum sells NYC TV by address; promotional TV Select figures on third-party roundups and on Spectrum’s own NYC TV page disagree, and the official page was not independently readable as a stable rate on 2026-09-04. An advertising claim needs a sourced figure. Yours is on the bill. Ours are the four IPTV NYC totals, which do not auto-renew.

What you keep watching

The reason people hesitate is sports. Giants and Jets Sundays, Knicks nights, Yankees and Mets, UFC cards. Those are on every IPTV NYC plan, with PPV included rather than billed per event. Movies and live channels sit on the same login. If the hesitation is setup, the Firestick guide and the trial page exist so you can test on Spectrum Wi-Fi before you call to remove TV.

Where this shows up in the five boroughs

Spectrum is common in Manhattan walk-ups, Brooklyn brownstones and a lot of Bronx and Staten Island homes. The borough pages — Manhattan, Brooklyn, Bronx — are the local layer. This page is the ISP query. If your building is actually on Optimum, use the Optimum alternative instead. The cut-the-cord hub compares the move without picking an ISP.

Return the Spectrum TV box through Spectrum’s process when you drop TV. IPTV NYC does not collect hardware. A Firestick or Apple TV stays yours when a plan ends.

How to replace Spectrum TV in NYC with IPTV NYC

Keep Spectrum internet, set up IPTV NYC on a device you already own, then drop the Spectrum TV package if the test holds.

  1. Do not touch the internet line. Spectrum broadband stays. IPTV NYC will not load without it.
  2. Order IPTV NYC on WhatsApp. Pick $15 / $25 / $35 / $65. Tell us Firestick, Smart TV, Apple TV or phone.
  3. Test live TV, a game and a movie on your Wi-Fi. Use an evening window, when NYC networks are busy. Stay in the WhatsApp thread if a player setting needs changing.
  4. Then call Spectrum about TV only. If the test holds, remove the TV package and return the cable box. Leave internet active.

FAQ

Questions before you message WhatsApp

Check the details that matter to your household.

Can I keep Spectrum internet and cancel Spectrum TV?

Yes. IPTV NYC is the video layer only. Keep the Spectrum broadband line that already serves the apartment. Cancel or skip the Spectrum TV package if that is the bill you want to cut. We do not provision internet. We do not promise zero buffering.

How much is IPTV NYC compared with Spectrum TV?

IPTV NYC is $15 for one month, $25 for three, $35 for six and $65 for twelve months, billed upfront in USD with no auto-renew and no box rental. Spectrum TV prices in NYC are sold by address and promo, and they change; we could not lock a single official NYC-wide Spectrum TV monthly rate on

Will I still get Yankees, Knicks and Giants without Spectrum TV?

Sports, including New York teams, is included in every IPTV NYC plan. Open the Yankees & Mets, Knicks & Nets, or Giants & Jets pages for the team-level detail, then message WhatsApp to activate. Nothing is charged unless you later pick a plan.

Do I need a Spectrum cable box?

Not for IPTV NYC. Use a Firestick, Smart TV, Apple TV, iPhone or Android. Return the Spectrum TV box if you drop the TV package — that is a Spectrum equipment return, not something we handle. We do not promise zero buffering.

How fast is the switch?

WhatsApp order, credentials during business hours, player install in minutes. You can test IPTV NYC before you call Spectrum to remove TV. Do not cancel internet. Nothing is charged unless you later pick a plan. We do not promise zero buffering.

Have Spectrum internet and a TV bill you want gone?

WhatsApp your device. Test IPTV NYC on the same Wi-Fi, then drop Spectrum TV only if it holds. Nothing is charged unless you later pick a plan. Trial windows rotate with capacity, so ask before you assume one is open.
