Without the jumble of advertising, a two week program guide enabling series recordings has a small monthly fee (discounted annually) above the free two day guide.

If you recently purchased this device, complete that set-up process first, then set up Fire TV Recast.I plugged mine directly into an available LAN port (with a network cable) on my router for a more reliable connection. 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. Once you have successfully set up the Fire TV Recast, you can now access the various functions through the “DVR” menu item on the Fire TV/Stick.

From what I have read, it does not work very well with the 1st Generation Fire TV Stick which is expected due to its low processing power. When playing live TV, there is absolutely no lag or stutter which I have found in other similar products. Pushing the down button on the remote will show you what is currently available and allow you to quickly change channels. The fast forward button will advance the video by 30 seconds and the rewind button will go back 10 seconds.What do you plan on recording that isn’t available through various apps such as Cinema APK, Kodi, etc.

Once you enter the DVR section, you can choose from the following, Channel Guide, Scheduled Recordings, Recording Priority, and DVR Settings. Within the Captions and Audio section, you can configure subtitles and in my testing they work very well. 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. 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.This is the screen for a specific recording which allows you to play your chosen show from the series or go into recording options. Once it’s connected, it will emit infrared signals that will be received by your TV’s remote control sensor. You can do this at home through a Firestick/Fire TV or Echo Show or on the go through a compatible mobile device. Maybe you would like to record daily shows such as soap operas that aren’t readily available in these various apps. Also, it is simple to spread this signal to all other television hookups in the house since this is connected to the main splitter in my basement.
