I have a few questions; hopefully this is the right thread to ask. . I have a Charter account for Internet and tv in my home.
I am looking to add a Roku TV to my man cave for watching sports (ESPN, SEC Network, CBS,etc.) without adding another cable box.
Never had Roku or anything like this.
My question is if I get the Roku TV are there any potential roadblocks to me watching said events mentioned above?

Do I need to be aware of anything else?

Thanks in advance for any help.

You can't watch network tv on a roku. Gonna need an antenna if you don't have cable/satellite. There are other non-legal ways to catch network games, though.

If these channels are included in your cable package you're entitled to stream them to a Roku at no additional charge. The Roku will pay for itself in a short time vs. paying monthly for an additional cable box.

Pretty sure there isn't an option to stream CBS on a ROKU, but if you get rabbit ears or a digital antenna, that can be caught normally pretty well.

With your ROKU, just download the watchESPN app, and enter your log in information. You'l be able to watch the following: (Note, as long as you are paying for this sports package)

ESPN
ESPN2
ESPNU
ESPNews
SEC Network
SEC Network +
Longhorn Network

There's a charter spectrum app on the roku that will let it work like another cable box as long as you are using a charter modem. You can also just use your log in info with the ESPN app
