    Was not what I needed for what I was looking for. Didn't expect to have to purchase digital antenna to go with it too. Should have done more research before purchasing.

    Sale price looked great. Researched reviews and determined that the resolution of the videos would be unacceptable to me. Probably an OK option, but not for me.

    This is not what I expected from this DVR. Unfortunately you cannot program the DVR to record a program ahead of time. It may work with a Fire TV but does not work with other brands. Very disappointed and certainly is not worth over $200.00.

    Nope, not for us!!!! I really wanted to like this since I use Fire Sticks on all my TVs. However in the day and age we live in having a device that ONLY PLAYS IN 720P while my tv is 4K is ridiculous!!!! Took it back immediately. C’mon Amazon, 720p really!?!?!?!?
