Charter Communications' television service offers a number of digital views. These custom packages of channels can be combined, mixed and matched, to create a user-specific television package, although individual channels within views cannot be altered. Among Charter's custom packages are a specific package called "Digital View," as well as a "Digital View Plus" package and a "Business Digital View."

What is Charter Communications?

Charter Communications is a communications and entertainment company, which offers both traditional analog cable television and modern digital television. The company also offers telephone service and internet access, as well as "bundles" combining these three services in various forms.

Digital View

Charter's Digital View package is its entry-level television package. It includes basic channels, as well as popular channel "multiplexes," or groups of channels under the same name, such as VH1, BET, MTV and Nickelodeon. It also includes a number of other cable channels, such as Do It Yourself and Women's Entertainment.

Digital View Plus

Digital View Plus includes all of the channels in Digital View. It also includes a number of channels targeted to particular interests. These include the Military Channel, Fuse, Independent Film Channel and the Sundance channel. Digital View Plus also includes a large number of channels featuring educational content, including the History Channel International, Biography, The Science Channel and the Discovery Channel "multiplex."

Business Digital View

Charter Communications also offers television service to businesses, through Charter Business. Charter Business offers a collection of Digital Views, much like Charter's in-home service. Charter Business offers Charter Business Digital View and Charter Business Digital View Plus, which are comparable to their corresponding home views.

Other Charter Views

Charter TV also offers a number of other "view" packages, designed to provide customers with television content in a specific area of interest. These include Sports View, Sports View Plus, HD Ultra View, Faith & Values View, Latino View and Asian View.
