Rick, YouTube TV is a subscription service that costs $50/month. It carries many of the major cable networks as well as your local stations, at least the network affiliates. You use a streaming device like an AppleTV, Roku or Amazon Firestick to access it on your TV or computer using their application.
The DVR function is built into their application. For instance, I just searched for Family Guy and told it I want all new episodes recorded for the season. You can also watch a fair amount of stuff on demand as well. I bought a refurbished “Tablo” OTA DVR box for about $75. Using an HDTV antenna and an external hard drive, it will record any of our OTA stations for me. It has a subscription service that’s $5/month for the scheduling, which you would need for the DVR function. Without the hard drive you can still watch OTA stations, but not record them. https://www.tablotv.com/ <https://www.tablotv.com/> -D > On Oct 13, 2019, at 12:58 PM, Kaleb C.
