How Breezeline Stream TV Works
Breezeline Stream TV delivers your channel lineup via IP streaming rather than traditional analog or QAM coaxial tuners:
Breezeline Stream TV Box: Powered by Android TV, this palm-sized media streamer connects via HDMI to your television and includes a voice-activated remote powered by Google Assistant.
Smart Device Integration: Download the Breezeline Stream TV App to access your live channels, on-demand library, and recorded DVR lineup directly on Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, iOS, and Android devices.
300-Hour Cloud DVR: Record entire TV seasons simultaneously without storage conflicts; recordings are stored in the cloud and accessible across any connected screen in your home.
Out-of-Home Streaming: Stream selected live channels, recordings, and on-demand titles while traveling on mobile devices using Wi-Fi or cellular networks.
Mandatory Surcharges & Extra Fees
When calculating the final price on your monthly statement, account for typical television carrier surcharges:
Broadcast TV Surcharge: $23.75 to $29.80/mo (a pass-through fee charged by local broadcast station owners for transmitting local network affiliates).
Regional Sports Network (RSN) Fee: $10.00 to $14.50/mo (applied automatically to the Variety TV tier in regions with active local sports networks like NESN or MASN).
Stream TV Device Rental: The first Stream TV streaming box is often included or billed at $5.99 to $9.99/mo per additional TV screen.
