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.
Here’s what you need to know from the product page:
- Fire TV Recast is a DVR that lets you watch and record over-the-air TV at home or on-the-go with a Fire TV, Echo Show, or compatible mobile device—with no monthly fees.
- Watch and record live sports, local news, late night shows, and other can’t miss TV from channels available through an HD antenna (sold separately) like ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, PBS, and The CW.
- With 2 tuners, you can record up to 2 shows at once. Plus, store up to 75 hours of HD programming.
- With a compatible Alexa-enabled device, you can use your voice to search for shows, manage and schedule recordings, and help with other requests. Say things like “Alexa, open Channel Guide” or “Alexa, record ‘Riverdale.’”
