You can find great deals on a new TV this time of year, but people are often disappointed after buying a new set. The picture quality simply doesn’t live up to expectations. But you can change that at home. Tap or click here for tips on getting the most out of your new TV.
If you decide to cut the cord and drop your cable and satellite services, you may believe you need to give up on all your favorite TV shows — but that’s not true. You can still stream all your favorites with services like Netflix or Hulu, but streaming services don’t offer every show.
There are still plenty of television shows you can access on your smart TV, but how can you record them without your cable or satellite company-owned DVR? We’ve got the answer for you below.
Best DVRs and an expander
Just invest in your own DVR. One of the original digital video recording companies, TiVo, is still around. You can get the TiVo EDGE for antenna or over-the-air (OTA) TV here from Amazon.

Auto skip all the commercials
This Tablo Quad Over-the-Air DVR allows you to record up to four channels at once and connects to your internet router. There is no onboard storage, but it supports up to 8TB USB hard drive or 8TB internal 2.5″ SATA drive storage. This will enable you to browse, record and stream live TV to any of your devices.
This DVR also has dual-band AC Wi-Fi and allows you to access TV recordings and playback functions without paying any subscriptions. The best part? You can auto skip all those unwanted commercials. This DVR is best for those who have the know how to add their own storage and need hundreds of hours of storage.
Promising review: “Easy to install and works really well with Roku (using the Tablo channel) I bought an internal hard drive and connected it to an outdoor antenna. The picture quality is excellent … Until I got this, I wasn’t all that happy being a cord cutter. This DVR changed everything! I really couldn’t be happier with it!“
