Where is your our of area client? So Cal Spectrum (LA and SD) is a pia. They're no longer doing multi-room DVR as new installs, so you have individual DVR's or regular boxes in each room. Existing multi room systems (old Time Warner and occasional Adelphia equip) are maintained (barely)

Their "APP" is pretty good though. I.e. if you have one box in the house, you will get all of those channels on the app/channel (i.e. Appletv or Roku) No DVR function, but just about everything you would DVR is available on demand... I like the fact that you don't need a box for each TV, let the app do it. Most of the time the app doesn't need to be "signed on" as long as it connects through a Spectrum internet connection... Lots of Rokus out there using Spectrum channel, very few issues.
