Dont agree at all with your description of the Spectrum service. Their DVR's can record a tremendous number of shows at one time. I have about 30 one hour shows recorded on one DVR and am only 35% full. Their picture quality is excellent. I know about picture quality, since I worked in the video production business for 25 years. In addition, most newer TV's upgrade the picture from HD to 4K so ;you can enjoy outstanding picture quality......if your picture settings are correct. I have no complaints about Spectrum and their service is excellent if you need them.
