    Purchased this to replace my AirTV player. Works great with streaming apps and Amazon. I like this over Roku. To many differences to mention here. Do your own research and decide. I have no technical issues with this device like I did with AirTV player.

    The system works great. Recorded shows look great. The quality of the recordings seems better than from my SiliconDust tuners. Very glad I got this unit. Best Buy shipped it to me in excellent condition even though it was an open box unit. Very happy with Best Buy.

    The concept is good, the hardware is capable, will be better if the phone app is more capable and compatible with SmartTVs, PC or DLNA clients.

    The bottom line is Recast works adequately as your very basic DVR but it has a long way to go to catch up to the spit and polish of a Tivo product

    The device is decent now after the updates over the last year. BUT, the software and integration points still are lacking. Still locked in into a single account, which is annoying if you want to use on mobile devices with Family Amazon accounts. One account thing is less of a deal with FireTV sticks and such. If you have good antenna signal it works well, You cannot record anything other than OTA TV hooked up to this device as it says.

    Amazon recast is good but not as good as Dish Network DVR. A bit more difficult to operate. The big advantage over Dish Network is cost to operate is very low after initial hardware purchase.
