Amazon has a tendency to pay attention to popular products on its website and then make its own version that’s even better. We’ve seen this story play out a hundred times, and now it’s happening again. The Fire TV Recast Over-The-Air DVR is shaping up to be the best DVR on the planet for cord cutters, combining everything you need in an OTA DVR with everything you love about a Fire TV. It’s set to be released in just two days, so preorder one now if you want it on launch day.
