Customer Ratings & Reviews

Works great! Little trouble getting it to connect to the app.

I was looking for an additional DVR to supplement my Hauppauge USB tuner, I like the 2 tuners in the recast and the ability to watch on a Fire table, Android Table, or iPad. The problem is that you can record but you can easily remove the video file to save them. Plus in order to schedule out 14 days you need the Fire TV Stick. I wanted a device that would record directly to an MP4 H264 file so I didn't need to convert the TS file I was getting from my USB tuner. For now it will work, just adds to the device clutter.

cut cable and wanted easy to use device to record OTA programs. the storage ability may be too small for a family with lots of shows they want to record. I use it to randomly record a program if I am going to not be available to watch it live.

Excellent free DVR recording! Records OTR and streams channels perfectly. Hope another OEM picks up this device and continues selling it.

easy to set up and ideal for the area . Perhaps the only downside is the remote, It is rather small and difficult to use if you have large hands or arthritis.

I did not really know what to expect when I purchased the Fire TV Recast. It was very easy to set up. Puts all you apps and OTA stations in an easy to read guide. You are able to set up your favorite channels. Very easy to record OTA channels. You are able to record two shows at the same time (as long as you are tuned to one of them.)

This box is amazing super easy set up with the firestick and digital antenna. The interface is also very nice.

What a game changer! I was paying almost $200 a month for internet and tv with U-verse. I’ll never look back. Recast is worth every penny. Make sure you use a fire stick to get the full advantage of it.

The recast pulls in the stations very well including the weaker stations. Easy to navigate between apps and very fast when doing so. It's also great if you have more than one TV because you don't have to have a bunch of coaxial cables and TV antennas. I think it's an excellent box that should meet all of your needs for cable cutters.

Working very well. Helped us "cut the cord". Integrates very well with the two Fire Stick 4Ks I purchased with all of the OTA channels showing up in the guide. Easy to pause and record live TV.

Love it! Instead of hooking up individual antennas on all 5 of my TV's (which all have a Fire TV attached), I'm able to tune in to free OTA (over the air) channels from this Fire TV Recast. One antenna connection streams to every TV flawlessly... I can watch one channel and record another channel at the same time. It also has a TV channel guide. The cost is expensive, but if you catch the $75 off sale at BB, it's worth it. Because of the cost I give it 4.5 stars, but had to choose 5 star.

As I don’t have cable I just love this ! I also get more channels, not sure which are coming from this or from Amazon prime, but that and the ability to record shows again , priceless . I’m a retired female and it was so easy to set up. Best purchase ever.

While there are some glitches and Amazon tech support was useless, this is exactly what I needed. I refuse to pay for TV and this records and plays back Antenna channels with no problems. You do need good Antenna reception. You can record 2 shows simultaneously. It's really simple to use once you figure out how it works. I have a Fire TV w/Alexa so it's easy to use with voice control. I don't have a Fire Stick so not sure if that allows voice control.

The set up process was very simple. I'm apart of the Fire Tv ecosystem, so everything (Fire Cube, Echo Plus and Echo Show) works great together. It records and plays well. I was even able to watch local tv during my internet outage.

Purchased this to record our favorite shows and get rid of our current satellite provider. Works great!

The best OTA DVR in the market. Easy to use, easy to record with guide tv. No issues at all in streaming live tv (Home & on the go). The only thing is on the mobile app there is not an option for a guide tv and cannot schedule a record ahead.

I was skeptical, but this has met and exceeded my expectations. Very simple setup and the other services (Netflix, Prime, HBO, PlayStation Vue, Pluto, etc.) all work very seamlessly within the UI. I’ve permanently booted Dish!

Purchased this to try and cut the cord. Its great if you have other devices that can utilize this when its on your network.

It sometimes freezes up, could be my internet or my antenna. The rest of the time, it works good and is good option for cord cutters

Absolutely everything we thought it would be. Turned off our TV provider and with the recast and fire stick we haven’t missed it one bit. Works almost just like cox DVR. Can record anything that is over the air. We love it!
