Given that the R in DVR stands for Recorder, it was initially important that any device included on this list be able to do everything short of receiving an OTA signal or displaying recorded images (you'd ideally have a TV and an antenna/cable box for those things).

Finally, we added the SiliconDust HDHomeRun Scribe Quatro, which doesn't have the most user-friendly software in the world, but that gets the job done if you're looking for something with multi-room playback and Ethernet networking that won't cost you anything for the first year of your subscription. Both of these models now also support 4K, which may not be as useful for antenna consumers, but for streaming purposes it ensures you'll get the most out of your 4K television.Īnd instead of having two of Tablo'a Dual models on our list like we had last time, we stuck only with the Tablo Quad OTA, which boasts double the tuners of its Dual counterparts, allowing you to record up to four shows at once. The company has seen fit to integrate a streaming platform into their familiar DVR setup, allowing you to use a single box for everything from recording shows you missed to binging things on Netflix, Hulu, and more.

As the Fire TV Recast is very close to being a real competitor to Tablo, Channel Master, HDHomeRun, and TiVo but its limited device support holds it back.ĭo you own a Fire TV Recast?

Sadly, if you use other devices like a Roku, Apple TV, or Android TV the Fire TV Recast is not for you. If you have a house with a Fire TV on every TV you may want to look at the Fire TV Recast as a great option for your cord cutting setup. While it does cost more upfront, the savings will more than make up for the extra $50 or $100 you will pay for the Fire TV Recast.
#DVR PLAYER AMAZON FREE#
All the features that the Fire TV Recast offers are 100% free after you buy the box.
#DVR PLAYER AMAZON PLUS#
On the plus side the Fire TV Recast has no monthly fee like other DVRs on the market. Hopefully Amazon rolls this feature out soon. Tablo rolled out the feature earlier this year, and TiVo also has an automatic commercial skipping feature in the works. Many DVRs now come with automatic commercial skipping or have it on the way. Some standard features on other DVD players are not available on the Fire TV Recast. Sadly, you are not able to stream the Fire TV Recast to your laptop as you travel. Most shockingly the Fire TV Recast lacks support for laptops. The lack of support for more devices will be a limiting factor for many would be Fire TV Recast buyers.

Even if they have a Fire TV, most cord cutters who take our surveys tell us they also have some other device in their house that they use like a Roku, DVD player, or game system. Most cord cutters we talk to do not have a Fire TV on every TV. There are a few things that hold it back. The quality of the recording was also equal to or better than similar DVRs when looking at it with the naked human eye. In our testing over the last six months we found the Fire TV Recast never missed a show we asked it to DVR. The Fire TV Recast is a very good DVR with no monthly fee that is hampered by a few limitations. The Amazon Fire TV Recast works with Fire TV, Echo Show, iOS, Android, and the Fire tablet. You can ask the Fire TV to record FOX’s Family Guy no matter what network it airs on. Amazon also added the ability to record a show across multiple networks. You can now connect an external hard drive to the USB port on your Fire TV to expand its storage. Since the Fire TV Recast hit stores last year Amazon has added two new features. Now that it has been six months, we decided to take a second look at the Fire TV Recast DVR. The Fire TV Recast lets you record your antenna and stream it out to Fire TVs around our house.

This was the Amazon Fire TV Recast DVR for your antenna.
