What do you plan on recording that isn’t available through various apps such as Cinema APK, Kodi, etc.?
Make sure you have the latest version of the software for your Fire TV streaming media player, Fire TV Edition television and/or Echo Show. Personally, I would never have the need to record more than two shows via over-the-air antenna so 4 tuners is a little overkill in my opinion. There is no limit, you can pair your Recast with as many Fire TV compatible devices as you would like. What resolutions does Fire TV Recast support? On your TV, find the pairing code. This will either be displayed on the screen or in your TV’s settings menu. Maybe you would like to record daily shows such as soap operas that aren’t readily available in these various apps. Or, maybe you would like to record sports and local news? In those cases, this is a great product.

The first is an outdoor antenna that I personally use which is the RCA Compact Outdoor Yagi HDTV Antenna with 70 Mile Range. Your Fire TV Recast and Echo Show will pair automatically if they are both connected to the same WiFi network and you are signed into both devices using the same account. Can I record IPTV with my Fire TV Recast? The recording features that come with this device are outstanding. You will see below some test recordings that have been added to my Fire TV Recast. Prior to purchasing the Fire TV Recast, I had to switch my TV input to “Local TV” with the television remote to watch over-the-air broadcasts. Also, there is no electronic program guide for my channels on my television. This is the screen for a specific recording which allows you to play your chosen show from the series or go into recording options.
Keep in mind that this device is only capable of recording over-the-air television and not cable, satellite, or IPTV.Some people would prefer using an indoor antenna instead and in this case, I recommend the Mohu Leaf Indoor HDTV Antenna. Same screen as previous but the “Priority” toggle has been applied. We can set what is most important in case there are more than two recordings scheduled at the same time. When playing live TV, there is absolutely no lag or stutter which I have found in other similar products. While playing live television, the menu button on the remote provides us with the following features, Channel Guide, Earliest Available, Captions & Audio, and Record. The recording capabilities are very similar to cable and satellite DVRs that provide the same functionality. Within the Captions and Audio section, you can configure subtitles and in my testing they work very well.
Once you launch a channel, you can access various functions by pressing the menu button on the Fire TV Remote which includes Channel Guide, Jump to Live, Earliest Available, Captions & Audio, and Record. Note: You can use Alexa to control Fire TV Recast on any Fire TV streaming media player with an Alexa Voice Remote, Fire TV Edition television, or Echo Show. I recently replaced my Dad’s indoor RCA antenna with the 60-Mile Indoor Mohu Leaf and it made a huge difference in the number and quality of channels received.Enter the pairing code on your remote. The light will turn solid at the top of the remote to indicate that it’s connected. Connect your HD antenna to the Fire TV Recast, plug-in power and turn on. Optional: connect a network cable from the available LAN port on the router to the Ethernet port on Fire TV Recast. Note: With 2 tuners, you can record up to 2 shows at once and with 4 tuners, you can record up to 4 shows at once. With both models, you may watch a live TV show via the Fire TV Recast on up to two devices simultaneously.
As mentioned earlier, you must use the Fire TV App to configure the Fire TV Recast and this will work on all modern smartphones and tablets. You can install the Fire TV App directly through your respective app store by searching “Fire TV”. You can record a current show that is playing but you can’t schedule recordings for the future because there is no electronic program guide built into the app. You can issue commands to the Fire TV Recast with Alexa-enabled devices. You can say things like “Alexa, open Channel Guide” or “Alexa, record Riverdale.” You can even play live or recorded TV shows directly on the Echo Show! Launch the Fire TV app on your mobile device and tap Set up Fire TV Recast and follow the instructions to set up your Fire TV Recast. I plugged mine directly into an available LAN port (with a network cable) on my router for a more reliable connection. Then, I connected my over-the-air coax cable and power cord to the unit.The determining factor on whether you would buy something like this all depends on your viewing preferences and budget. These antennas come with differing reception distances so you can choose which best fits your needs. Once it’s connected, it will emit infrared signals that will be received by your TV’s remote control sensor. This will allow you to control your TV with your Fire TV remote. Hold and press the Home button on your remote for 5 seconds. The light at the top of the remote will blink twice while it is in pairing mode.
