I am assuming that you want to watch TV on your PC. Spectrum probably has all channels encrypted so you will need a TV tuner that has a slot for a CableCARD.

I have Comcast Cable and have been using a Hauppauge WinTV DCR-2650 since 2012. I had to rent a CableCARD from Comcast and then call them to activate it. When I had Windows 7 I used Windows Media Center with the DCR-2650 to watch TV. When I switched to Windows 10 I had to get the WinTV 8 software from Hauppauge to watch TV. Note that with Windows 10 all premium channels such as HBO are not viewable with any cable tuner. This was not a problem with Windows Media Center on Windows 7.
