I canceled cable, got a Tablo so we could record tv shows, and upgraded from the Roku stick to Roku Ultra (Tablo won't work on the stick), and now we only pay $60 a month for tv. I love it more than Spectrum's tv. There are so many great apps on Roku.

One thing, you may have to get an external HD for the Tablo as the space included on the Tablo is limited.
