Cable, satellite, and streaming TV in Los Angeles, CA
Hello, current or prospective Los Angeles resident who likes TV as much as we do. Let’s cut to the chase and find you the best TV deal in town.
We’re looking at three main TV providers in Los Angeles: cable TV service Spectrum and satellite TV providers DIRECTV and DISH—plus live TV streaming services like YouTube TV.
Ready? Pretend we’re at a Lakers game and yell, “LET’S GOOOOOOO!” Or chill and keep reading.
Best TV providers in Los Angeles
- DIRECTV—best for sports NFL SUNDAY TICKET free (current season)
- DISH—best overall TV provider, best for kids
- Spectrum—best value
- YouTube TV—best live TV streaming service
Since DIRECTV and DISH are satellite services, you can get them almost anywhere in the city. Same goes for YouTube TV, which you can get anywhere as long as you also have a 25–50 Mbps internet connection. Spectrum, being a cable provider, is more location-dependent.
We recommend DISH as the best overall TV provider for its two-year price guarantee, high channel count, and excellent Hopper 3 DVR. It’s also our pick for the best TV provider for kids because of its many kids channels and superior parental controls. Unfortunately, DISH doesn’t have HBO®.
DIRECTV has tons of sports channels andgives new customers the current seasons of NBA League Pass and NFL SUNDAY TICKET free. You guessed it—DIRECTV is our best-for-sports pick. It also includes the Genie DVR free with all plans. But beware of its two-year contracts and second-year price hikes.
All Spectrum channels are in HD, and its top two packages include free premium channels, which makes it the best channel value. But Spectrum’s DVR storage is low (90 hours) and its price is high ($17.98 a month).
Finally, we named YouTube TV the best live TV streaming service for its reasonable pricing, 85 channels, 3 streams, and unlimited cloud DVR.
Cable TV and internet bundles in Los Angeles
Only two providers offer cable and internet bundles in Los Angeles: DIRECTV (with AT&T internet) and Spectrum. Let’s go over the best cable TV and internet bundle from each provider.
Best TV and internet bundles in Los Angeles
- DIRECTV ULTIMATE All-Included Package + AT&T Internet ($109.99/mo.†)—250+ channels, 100 Mbps DSL internet
- Spectrum Double Play Gold ($139.98/mo. for 12 mos.‡)—200+ channels, up to 400 Mbps (wireless speeds may vary) cable internet, includes HBO MaxTM, NFL Network, SHOWTIME®, STARZ®, STARZENCORE®, and TMC®
† for 12 months plus taxes & internet equip. fee w/ 24-mo. TV agmt & combined bill. Autopay & Paperless bill req’d. Prices higher in 2nd year. $10/mo. internet equip. fee applies
In Los Angeles, you have two excellent options for internet and TV bundles: DIRECTV or Spectrum. That’s because DISH and YouTube TV don’t offer internet service—you’ll have to find another internet provider if you choose either of those TV providers.
Usually we’d recommend DIRECTV’s CHOICETM All-Included + AT&T Internet ($104.99 a month), but we noticed that ULTIMATE is only $5 more per month—for an extra 65 channels. That’s a good value, especially with all the freebies (see deals section above).
But AT&T Internet is DSL. Spectrum’s Double Play Gold bundle ($139.98 a month for 12 months) offers cable Internet that’s four times faster—and its included premium channels are a permanent part of your package, not a limited-time promotion. That’s totally worth the extra 30 bucks.

Los Angeles FAQs
How can I watch TV without cable?
You can pass on a cable subscription and still watch TV by hooking up a TV antenna or signing up for a streaming service.
Go for a TV antenna if you want local channels without ongoing payments. Streaming services have tons of cable TV channels, but they work best if you have fast, reliable internet.
Who has the fastest internet in Los Angeles?
AT&T Fiber is the way to go if you want the fastest download speeds in Los Angeles. No other major provider in the city can touch its gig speeds:
- AT&T Fiber’s download speeds reach 1,000 Mbps.
- Frontier’s download speeds reach 500 Mbps
- Spectrum’s download speeds reach 400 Mbps.
- Cox’s download speeds reach 300 Mbps.
- Viasat’s download speeds reach 25 Mbps.

What cable companies are in Los Angeles?
Right now, Spectrum is the only cable company in Los Angeles—but satellite providers DIRECTV and DISH also provide TV service in the LA area. And you can always try live TV streaming services like YouTube TV, which are available wherever you can get a solid internet connection.
What cable companies are in California?
Cox, Spectrum, and Xfinity provide cable television in California. If you’re open to satellite TV, you can get DIRECTV and DISH throughout most of the state. And live TV streaming services like AT&T TV, fuboTV, Hulu + Live TV, Sling TV, and YouTube TV are available anywhere you can get a good internet connection.
Who has the cheapest cable TV?
In Los Angeles, Spectrum TV® Select has 125+ channels for $44.99 per month for 12 months. That’s the cheapest plan we can find, aside from basic cable plans (which we don’t recommend).
Paying monthly for a basic cable plan is outrageous when you can get all the same channels with an over-the-air (OTA) antenna for a one-time payment of about $30.
What are the best cable and internet bundles in Los Angeles?
Spectrum Double Play Gold ($139.98 a month for 12 months) has 200+ live TV channels—all in HD—including HBO MaxTM, NFL Network, SHOWTIME, STARZ, STARZENCORE, and TMC. You’ll also get 400 Mbps (wireless speeds may vary) Internet service. That’s a killer deal.
Alternatively, if you don’t mind slower internet, you can get 250+ channels plus 100 Mbps DSL internet with DIRECTV ULTIMATE All-Included + AT&T Internet for $109.99 a month.
Which is the best TV provider in Los Angeles?
DISH is our pick for the best overall TV provider—and the best TV provider for kids—and it’s available in Los Angeles. We recommend the America’s Top 200 plan, which has 240+ channels, 500 hours of HD storage, and 16 simultaneous recordings for $89.99 a month.
