Spectrum Switching to Digital Only: How Much Will It Cost You?

By Josh Bazan

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) - Spectrum is upgrading to an all-digital network, which it says will provide better picture quality and faster internet speeds. But it means an end to plugging the cable cord right into the back of a television. Soon, in order to get cable on different TVs, customers will need to have a Spectrum digital receiver (or other device) for each TV.

The change for customers in WNY has been going on since January. Spectrum is contacting individuals regarding specific upgrade dates and informing them of the new network. Different communities are being upgraded each week through June.

For Spectrum customers, each box costs $6.99 per month. If you have a legacy Time Warner Cable package, additional boxes cost $11.75 per month.
