Spectrum does offer the option to stream their cable service via an app on the Roku and Apple TV 4K boxes, but you have to be a current customer and they provide no option to record anything, so no cloud DVR. You will save a bit by getting rid of their DVR box(es), but without recording you are very limited on catching a lot of programming. Spectrum was charging me $7.50/mo to rent the cable box DVR, plus another DVR usage fee of $12.00/mo. Add tax and that is $20/mo just to be able to record programming. Ouch! Hulu has a pretty good cloud DVR and though the free version is limited to 50 GB, I find that enough as long as I don't procrastinate in watching the recorded shows. There doesn't seem to be a limit on how many shows can record simultaneously, at least I have not encountered one yet. Spectrum only allowed recoding of two shows simultaneously per DVR box, and you had to watch one of those two. In other words, you could not record two shows simultaneously and watch a third one at the same time.
