I have looked up many wYs to record and they all either now need a paid script or a lot of extra complicated crap.

J/s shouldnt be this complicated.

Guess i can always dust off the old vcr when life was simpler.

I don’t disagree with you at all. You’re certainly not alone. I am not privy to the copyrights or laws, but this seems like it should be pretty standard. I have a OTA antenna that, oddly enough, Dish network gave to me and installed for free. The way it’s set up, I can dvr locals through the antenna or the Dish services. Pretty much, hurricane season is the only time it’s used. Truth be told, I feel the OTA pic is better than the satellite. I totally understand what you’re looking for. I’m currently doing it without the need for it. If I ever cancel dish, I won’t be able to dvr it. As a cord cutter curious identifier, it would make it a lot easier to make that decision. I know there are other outlets and services that include local stations, but still.

OTA will always be better than satellite. Satellite has to compress the signal and you get the same signal in OTA that the satellite is getting before it compresses it.

The Amazon box that records 4 stations is good and fees. There are some other options but the need just isn't there any more for most people. Everything is streamed so you can watch it for free or a cost.

I always prefer the dvr to skip commercials but there just isn't enough demand from people. I have an ota dvr and a streaming tv & dvr I get for free as backups to my satellite. I'm not the norm though and too many people are happy just watching the same ads over and over online.
