Optimum Cable TV Packages
Optimum TV packages are as follows:
Tier | Starting Price * | Channels |
Basic TV | $35/mo. | 50+ |
Core TV | $105/mo. | 220+ |
Select TV | $130/mo. | 340+ |
Premier TV | $155/mo. | 420+ |
Optimum Stream | $10/mo. | 50+ |
These plans don’t have contracts or cancellation fees. And if you don’t like what you get, you’ll have a 30-day money-back guarantee. Optimum has fiber optic internet products, but they don’t offer fiber TV like Verizon Fios.
That’s fine, though. You’ll have a bit less reliable television signal. However, in my experience, I’ve never experienced hair-pulling issues with cable TV.
Optimum Stream’s cheap, but does not have the best value. Because all the “channels” it includes are free apps anyone can access outside Optimum Stream. You’re paying $10 a month for a media streaming box.
Xfinity offers a free 4K streaming box. Or you could buy your home an Apple TV or Roku TV box. They serve the same functions as Optimum Stream. Yet require a one-time purchase.
Optimum TV Channel Numbers
Channel numbers will vary by area. Visit Optimum.com/tvlineup, enter your ZIP code, and Optimum will show all the TV channel numbers for channels available in your area.
Visit optimum.net/lineups if you’re in one of these areas:
- New York
- New Jersey
- Pennsylvania
- Connecticut
- Hendersonville, North Carolina
- West Jefferson, North Carolina
