Some of the streaming services allow you to use their own cloud based DVR services, for example, DirecTV Now is rolling out their own, Some are free, some cost extra, but you wind up needing different DVR subscriptions for each of the various services you are subscribing to. The other option is to buy a DVR device of your own. Two I know of are called "Tablo" and Tivo Bolt.Keep in mind though that with DVRs like Tivo Bolt you must pay a monthly subscription fee as well as buying the device, which isn't cheap itself. So far, I have found that many (most?) of the streaming services let you select things "on demand", For example, Netflix and Hulu have multiple seasons worth of popular programs that you can just select the episodes you want to watch, hence the term "binge watching" where you can waste 14 hours or so watching a complete season in one or a few sittings, so a DVR becomes unnecessary. The only penalty you pay is that there is usually a one day delay before a live broadcast will show up in the "library" of episodes you can watch, so you can save a lot if you can stand a one day delay,
