    The recast is top notch for over the air local channels and when paired with the 4K fire stick you get everything that you will need for entertainment.

    I was unable to use/try this product because I couldn't find an antenna that I could pick up more than 3 channels with due to where I live.

    Difficult to install. I have not successfully been able to use the Fire TV Recast yet. I was hoping to pair this with my Firestick but so far been disappointed. I would not recommend this product.

    My review would be higher for Tyler. He was very good. However, We have not found it easy for us to install the equipment we purchased. It has been so negative and challenging for us to install that we are planning to stay with Dish. We told him we are not very tech savvy and we didn’t install the equipment. Now we have all this expensive equipment we purchased and not using. I called Geek Squad and it would cost $339 to install the equipment which cost us almost $500 making it almost $1000 to change our service. Way to expensive. Not good for us. Doesn’t make me happy with Best Buy.

    This ota recast device has 4 turners but will only support 2 tv's at the same time. I do not see the value of this recast device over the 2 tuner device that is almost half the price. I would NOT recommend this over the 2 tuner device.

    Love the concept, if only it would work better with options other than just Amazon Fire products. Would love it if it worked with Apple TV. If it did, with an Apple TV app to interface it - SOLD SOLD SOLD.
