i use the spectrum app on half of our tvs as well. i have the boxes for the family room and bed room, mostly to record and watch the recorded shows. i just refuse to keep paying for those boxes. samsung tvs also have the app as part of them, which could prevent you from even having to buy a roku. the app can be quirky, (i have a weird color change on certain channels and it can freeze on occasion) but still well worth it.
