    Don't buy. Constantly loses connection. I'm connected by ethernet and still constantly get notifications that fire tv recast is offline. Currently trying to stream on the go while in the hospital and it just tells me recast is "not connected".

    Took 2 weeks to get this set up until I was able to get Amazon tech support to call me - they hide and don't like to help their customers!

    It’s a nice device for recording your programs. But hopefully in the near future with updates the lagging time and connection will be better
