DVRs for Antenna??

fitchetm · 19-Mar-2015, 1:48 AM

Does anyone on here use a DVR or similar hardware to record antenna broadcasts? I cut the cord over 2 years ago and couldn't be happier. The only thing I would like to have is the ability to record some shows when I'm not around.

My tv already has the build in tuner so I'm basically looking for a cheap recording device?

Anyone have some good suggestions?

Add an external USB hard drive for a cheap DVR setup. There is a reason it's cheap, though, it's not terribly user-friendly.

Other options are out there including PC-based systems or all-in-ones from ChannelMaster or Tivo (subscription required).

In the category of PC based systems, there are quite a few options: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compari...tware_packages

There are also some very basic (in terms of cost and functionality) DIY options: http://forum.tvfool.com/showthread.php?t=820
