Recording your favorite programing has gotten trickier in the last few years, between updates to copyright laws and a crackdown on piracy. That said, it’s still possible to record your favorite programing to watch at a later time with the devices mentioned below!
TiVo
TiVo is a DVR system that allows you to record favorite shows, and manage them how you need to. Currently, they have many different options available starting at an affordable price point. Please keep in mind there is a subscription fee associated with using their services. Some of the options we are currently offering on BestBuy.com have the subscription cost included for the first year.
A CableCARD may be necessary to get from your cable provider to be able to use your TiVo. Without a CableCARD, you still are equipped to receive antenna and standard-definition analog cable channels.
Tablo
A Tablo device is a great option as well if you just have basic cable with an HD antenna set-up. It’s similar to the Sling Media device where you can stream or record on your smartphone or computer for remote reviewing. Currently, Tablo offers two options, one with a two tuner or four tuner.
HDHomeRun
Much like a Tablo and TiVo, this device allows you to record your favorites, plus pause live TV! If you'd like to cut down on the costs from your cable provider, you're welcome to check out this unit too. HDHomeRun offers different kind of units to every kind of lifestyle.
Please keep in mind you also have the option of streaming as well. Most times, the network the show airs on has an app you can login with your cable provider credentials to watch what you missed. Or, you can purchase a subscription to apps like Hulu Plus or SlingTV to keep up with everything!
