Of course, there is a price tag that comes with all of this that will rival the most expensive cable packages: over $100 a month. With this package DirecTV is saying: if you want cheap, go to Sling.

MTV on Spectrum TV Choice

Spectrum TV Choice allows you to completely curate your live TV package. For around $30 a month, you trim the fat and select your 15 channels of choice — no distractions, no cable box, and no annual contract. The catch: it’s only available to Spectrum internet customers.

Go to Spectrum TV Choice

Price: Varies depending on your location and account history.

MTV on Xfinity Choice TV

Choice TV with Xfinity Flex is for people looking to stay connected to big-name live networks, without getting bogged down by a slew of niche channels. Xfinity Choice TV customers keep things light with HD live TV and 20 hours of DVR storage, but still have the opportunity to add genre channel bundles for more variety.

Price: Varies depending on your location and account history.

MTV on DirecTV Stream Choice

There's a reason why DirecTV Stream Choice is the provider's most popular package to date: it carries over 105 channels, many of which are specialty sports channels like Big Ten Network, MLB Network, and NBA TV; it has local channels and RSNs where available; it offers premium add-ons like Starz and HBO; and maybe most important of all, it's still under a hundred bucks, which is not something you can say about most live TV packages these days. In other words, Stream Choice is for those looking for extra sports coverage while wanting to enjoy the usual benefits of DirecTV, like unlimited screens and DVR, and keeping it all under a reasonable budget.

MTV on Spectrum TV Stream

Exclusive to Spectrum internet users, Spectrum TV Stream is a live TV cord-cutting service that costs $40/month. It's cheaper than Spectrum's other TV plans, but that's because it doesn't carry sports and local channels—only news and entertainment. Some of the more notable ones include Disney, CNN, Fox, AMC, Discovery, and for classic Hollywood fans out there, the elusive TCM. It may not seem like much, especially when you compare it to similarly priced packages like Sling Orange, which for the same price covers sports, but it could be an attractive option for Spectrum users looking to pay for everything under one bill and who only need select cable channels to get their TV fix.

Price: Varies depending on your location and account history.

MTV on Optimum Entertainment TV

Optimum Entertainment TV is a live TV plan that offers about 80 live channels for $30/month, but it's only available to those using Optimum Internet, which starts at $40/month, and an Optimum Stream device, which costs $5/month. Its lineup has yet to feature sports channels and local networks, though it does cover news for the New York tri-state area via its very own News 12 channel. Other notable channels include HGTV, Discovery, History, AMC, Nickelodeon, Hallmark, and Lifetime. For now, Optimum Entertainment TV is only available in New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, Arkansas, Arizona, Louisiana, North Carolina, and Texas.

MTV on DirecTV Stream Óptimo Más

Like most live TV streaming services, DirecTV Stream has a dedicated plan for Latino live channels: this one is called Óptimo Más, currently priced at $86.99/month. It offers all the same perks as other DirecTV Stream plans, including a 5-day free trial, unlimited simultaneous streams, and unlimited DVR, but its 100-channel lineup is more or less split into two, English and Spanish. Among the English channels are CNN, Nickelodeon, USA, Disney Channel, and AMC, while some notable Spanish channels include Univision, TUDN, Cine Estelar, De Pelicula, Antena 3, and TyC Sports. If you prefer DirecTV Stream's other plans, like Choice or Ultimate, you can opt for DirecTV Stream's Spanish add-on—the sports-oriented Deportes, which costs $5/month, and the entertainment-focused Español, which costs $15/month.
