I have an older TV and am using Spectrum for internet and cable. The cable box has an HDMI port. I purchased a Roku Streaming Stick+. Can I use the HDMI port on the cable box for the stick?
The HDMI plug on the Streaming Stick+ is output only, to be connected to an HDMI input on a tv. I suspect the HDMI port on the cable box is the same, output only, except it will require an HDMI cable to connect to an HDMI port on the tv.
It sounds like you hope to plug the Roku into the cable box, and have the Roku signal transmitted through the cable box to the tv through whatever connection it makes to the tv. Unless the cable box HDMI port can accept INPUT it won't do what you want.
