A:AnswerYou can have both Roku and Spectrum at the same time using different HDMI ports. Spectrum offers a steaming service, as well as, a service which requires a cable box. I don’t know that you will be able to record off any cable channels, without a Spectrum option for recording, but you will certainly be able to record using Roku from numerous apps such as YouTubeTV and see them on any Roku TV in your house.
The issue is that, now, you are paying twice, in a lot of cases, to get the same content. I doubt that you will need Spectrum TV in the long run, just the internet connection. Run parallel for a month and decide which is better for you.
A:AnswerNo, all you need is a HDMI connection in the back of your TV. You will plug in the stick to the HDMI port. The stick will connect to your home's wireless internet connection.
A:AnswerThere are tons and tons of free channels available as well as channels like YouTubeTV, that you pay to have, which bring along another 150 or so channels for you to choose from. YouTubeTV also has all of your local channels etc. Just about any kind of entertainment that you want as far as I can tell. Most apps that are not free give you a free trial period.
A:AnswerOnly if the MSG network allows it in your area. For instance we moved from Chicago to Colorado and can no longer get NBC Sports Chicago because we are outside of their broadcast area.
A:AnswerI have been successful in using it through an HDMI cable. I don't know if it'd be successful with just any cable, but I almost always connect things through higher quality cables. Whether it's true or not, I believe as technology advances the better cables won't have to be replaced to keep up.
A:AnswerYes the streaming quality will be better. But, it does not replace an antenna, as an antenna is over the air, and the roku requires an internet connection.
