Get your local TV here.
I can't believe Amazon cancelled these devices. I just bought my second one, just in case my first one dies. If you are in the FireTV ecosystem then this puts local TV on all of your in house TV's running the FireOS. I love it. So easy. Exactly what TIVO should have done. They work great.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great picture quality, can't do initial setup with iPhone, Fire Stick search won't do only Recast OTA
Setup (iPhone): Could not do initial setup with iPhone - WiFi link to Recast would not work -- known problem according to Fire/Recast Customer Support. Search: For search via Fire Stick, unable to search only OTA listings onRecast. Difficult to find specific OTA shows coming up vs many other (pay) offerings. Tuners work very well and picture quality is very good.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Setting up a little confusing.
Setting up using confusing phone APP took a little time, and had to be repeated. Once up and running performs well. I do not record so don't know how that feature works.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Great for limiting/bypassing commercials and watching over air programming on your schedule.
I am happy with this purchase with a few caveats. I found this device a bit tricky to setup but not overtly so. If I was to purchase again, I would probably buy the 1TB, 4 tuner unit so that I could save and view more broadcasts simultaneously. The biggest issue I have with this unit is the software for accessing the broadcasts. In order to use the interface, you first have to select DVD and then go to "recast" program directory. It would be nice if there was more control to set defaults at power up and to provide the abiltity show, reordered, remove or hide stations. It would also be nice if the commercials could be skipped automatically or with a single button press.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

good to have, works as advertised
Glad to have it for recording through my antenna and the added feature of the tv listing menu. Wish it would record other Live TV through apps like Pluto.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

No more cable!!!
We were so sick of how much we paid for cable and how little they offer for the price you pay. Thought we'd try the Amazon Fire Stick and the Amazon Fire TV Recast so we could still record shows to watch later if we were busy at the time of broadcast. Quick note: You have to have the Fire Stick for the Recast to work. I had a little trouble setting up the Recast, but Amazon Tech Support was awesome! They called me back right away and had me up and running in no time. The Fire Stick was having a little trouble finding the Recast, so all I had to do was restart the Fire Stick in the "Settings" menu. Piece of cake. Between Amazon's programming and Netflix, I won't be running out of shows/movies to watch any time soon. They both add new programming frequently as well. The Recast also allows you to connect an over-the-air t.v. antenna so you can get your local channels which show up in the menu. It even shows you what is on instead of just listing the channel number. And of course, you are able to record up to two channels at once with the 2 tuner version of the Recast (they also offer a 4 tuner version). I have recorded to the Recast and it works seamlessly. Setting up and removing a program from the recording schedule is way easier than it was with our cable dvr also. One other feature I really like is that I can control everything from the Recast remote control except for switching the input to play on Xbox. Couldn't be happier with the Recast!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Does exactly what it's supposed to do
This is an excellent way to record over-the-air TV programming! It requires the use of a Fire TV Stick (not included) and integrates directly into all of the other apps and streaming channels on the Fire TV. The TV quality is good, and this device allows me to stream live TV to other rooms in my house where the antenna does not reach. There is no monthly fee or subscription - just the one time purchase and you're all set to record and enjoy your shows!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great product to help cut cord and get still have major network channels live!
Works well, the only challenge is the antenna I have occasionally says weak signal. Would probably be great if I had an external antenna.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
