Title: Look what I got for Prime Day
Post by: jwlv on July 17, 2019, 10:02:10 pm
So what goodies did everyone get on Prime Day?

I got the Fire TV Recast. I've been a cord-cutter for many years and I've always used Tivo to watch broadcast television. When I saw the Fire TV Recast on Prime Day, I knew that I had to get it. I got the 2-tuner version. What the Recast can do that the Tivo cannot is being able to watch live TV as well as recorded TV from outside of the house. Tivo has a way to watch shows outside of the house with an added Tivo Stream device. But I hardly ever used it because it was so unreliable and slow. Most of the time it couldn't even connect. But Fire TV Recast was so simple. It worked just as easily inside the house as it did away from home. The quality is pretty darn good too! The only downside is that Recast only works with Amazon devices like Fire TV stick or Echo Show or the Fire TV app on iPhone/Android. It will not work on a computer or non-Amazon devices like Roku, Apple TV, Xbox/Playstation, Chromecast, etc.
