  • Recording tv program...

    We have a 'free air' situation in our house. It is, of coarse, a digital signal. All tv's are digital. Wife desires some program(s) to be recorded for future play back. I see digital recorders (Tivo, for example..) require purchasing a 'plan' to use the device after it's purchase. Is/are there any units that just record and play back at our discretion?

    I think those are called VCRs.

    Do your TVs support Hulu or other apps such as YouTubeTV? If so you would still have a monthly fee but no other hardware to purchase.

      Yes, we have a vcr, but it's not ideal for our (her) purposes. I'm looking at some other options. We did the Hulu thing a while back by running her laptop through the tv. Worked fine for that purpose. Now we have another issue that needs 'fixing'....

        Purchased a iView-3500STBII and installed a USB stick. Formatted that and all is well.
        The user manual was 'sort-of' helpful. Made more sense after I made a lot of mistakes.
        Not the easiest book to follow. But it's done now.

            I'm now using DVBViewer Pro 7.2.1.0 on Windows 11 (64-bit). I would like to know which tools could be used to schedule TV recordings without the need to run the DVBViewer.

              Apologies for not replying sooner. It's all no longer needed, as we went to Dish Network and are very pleased.
              Further changes were made when Dear Wife passed in September, '21.
              Thank you all for your help.
