If you’ve cut the cord just like a whooooooole lot of other households in the United States, you’re undoubtedly thrilled at the fact that you’re saving so much money each month. Of course there are also probably a few things that you’re not so thrilled about, and losing your cable company’s DVR is likely near the top of the list. What you might not realize though, is that there are DVRs built specifically for cord cutters, and they work with OTA TV.
