Just got a letter from Xfinity telling me that the Broadcast TV Fee is increasing from $19.05 to $23.45.

The Broadcast TV Fee is now higher priced than my Limited Basic Service package ($21.95).

BUYER BEWARE: Spectrum’s new XUMO streaming device + Spectrum TV promotion is showing that service for $60/mo or less in the BIG LETTERS in the flyer ad. That same $23.45 broadcast TV fee - not included in the $60 price - is something you’ll only find buried in the very fine print @ the bottom of the ad.

At nearly $300/yr, you may be able to get a decent OTA setup for less than those broadcast TV fees…

Can I opt out of the local TV portion of my Comcast bill? My Television programming is delivered via the Comcast Internet TV package. I don’t have cable but do have the internet TV service.

You can, but you will likely fall out of your promo package if you have one. I tried that, and they actually said it would be more for internet only. Go figure.
