Device to record and playback TV?

[richardxsingh]

Hi Tuners.
Rather than pay TV provider I am looking for a standalone record and playback solution.

Device should:

Record TV with ability to schedule and not just on the spot
Playback recordings from device itself, rather than have to convert video or playback on computer.
Record via HDMI input preferable

Has anyone used such?

A VCR does that well.

Why not just get an android box?

I am paying provider for TV service. I don't want to pay extra for limited and costly recording ability.
There are some android boxes that can record from hdmi but that is usually flaky.

You may be over engineering here.

The Android Box option wasn’t to record your existing cable. It lets you use video on demand to watch what you want when you want without the hassle of recording, setting times etc.

There are capture card that gamers uses to intercept the hdmi signal going to the Monitor, and stream it to an online

So this card is inserted in between the pc and the monitor, and it just takes the hdmi signals andn,are it available for the gamer to send where he wants.

What u can do is insert it in between the cable box and the TV, and it should record what ever is sent to the TV

Used to be a VCR but now they're called PVR or personal video recorder or DVR for digital video recorder. Read about them at https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_video_recorder.
When you ready to buy, check Amazon. For example, https://www.amazon.com/AVerMedia-EZRecorder-Definition-Subscription-ER310/dp/B01KWCFN3O
