how to use my ROKU device to replace my DVR/Spectrum Box

I was told that I could use my ROKU device to act as a DVR by using Apple Play or Google and thus eliminating the need to rent a Spectrum DVR cable box.  Does anyone know how to do this?

    I am a Spectrum subscriber, and use the streaming app on my Roku devices to be able to view their cable channels on the various TVs in my home.  I've never seen a DVR capability in the streaming app, only if you agree to rent the Spectrum cable set top device will you get DVR.

    In my experience with the app, there is no provision to record any programming in DVR fashion, nor to access the DVR of a set top box if you should choose to have one; Spectrum provides On Demand to view the content they choose to store and make available. There is also a My Library which is where you can tag some programs in a Watchlist.
