Amazon Fire TV Recast Over the Air DVR

Bloomberg reported in August 2018 that Amazon was developing and would produce a DVR.  About a month later, Amazon confirmed the rumored DVR, and it is now available from Amazon.  Fire TV Recast is a DVR that lets you watch and record over-the-air TV at home or on-the-go with a Fire TV, Echo Show, or compatible mobile device—with no monthly fees.  Watch and record live sports, local news, late night shows, and other can’t miss TV from channels available through an HD antenna like ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, PBS, and The CW.  The lower cost model can record up to 2 shows at once, with enough storage for up to 75 hours of HD programming.  With a compatible Alexa-enabled device, you can use your voice to search for shows, manage and schedule recordings, and help with other requests. Say things like “Alexa, open Channel Guide" or “Alexa, record Riverdale.”  Fire TV Recast delivers the most reliable video streams over Wi-Fi of any over-the-air DVR according to Amazon. The Fire TV Recast DVR is compatible with the other Fire TV devices described below.
