Same here. I love Tyler's info. I was able to set up an OTA with Tablo and separate DVR just from watching his videos. Awesome information all the time.
Another way to record anything off of free streaming apps or any streaming app would be to locate a VCR and some VHS tapes or locate a VCR DVD combo recorder. You could probably also do the job with a DVD recorder and some DVD-R/DVD+R or RW discs. Thank You Antenna Man for your informative videos.
I use a old stand alone Magnavox dvr/DVD recorder.i hooked both my fire stick and Roku box into inputs on the Magnavox,and then from Magnavox to tv.i can record from the stick,Roku, antenna, or any other media I can hook into it.i then can record to hard drive or to a DVD .I record to hard drive maybe a season of something then record from hard drive over to DVD freeing up space on hard drive.i been doing it for years no trouble.
I also have an old Magnavox recorder. Although I am not currently using it, it was far less expensive than all others and performed flawlessly for my wife’s favorite soap opera for years👍👍👍
Can you mention scheduled recordings ? Can you record at certain times with certain apps activated and the channel selected? Am thinking that is impossible.
There's also the old trick of plugging the Roku into a computer with a video input card and recording the output using the computer. And if the computer is running PVR software you can use it to record shows at a specific time. That box really is just acting as a computer with video input.
Is there anyway to schedule recordings ? Can the computer change the Roku channel and change to a specific show that is playing at a certain live time?
@writerpatric, how do you record the output? Is that like ffmpeg screen recording? I've done that, and I wonder how it compares to hdmi recording. (I do ffmpeg h264rgb lossless. An hour show results in an 80gig size. Then I have to transcode that to h264 lossy/compressed for optimal quality and file size. (5% of the lossless size). The reason I do it this way is because compressing on the fly can affect the smoothness of the video. I find just capturing in real time works better; compress as a seperate step with veryslow preset for max compression, taking longer time.). Anyway, I'm curious if you've compared screen capture to hdmi capture. Is one better than they other? There must be some ideal way to do this (best quality). I'm wondering if screen capture is it, or a separate hardware device.
I had an older Roku Express with a connector for RCA jacks connected to my DVD recorder that would do this. Unfortunately newer Rokus don't have the RCA connectors. Also I've found out that services like Hulu and Netflix have copy protection. I wish something like the cheaper video capture box like you showed could be made with a timer and remote.
Channels DVR can record Pluto and Stirr among others - any service you can push their program list. It is easily the best way to do this - but there is a fee. It’s well worth it to me.
Great info… so many people have no idea how all this works, or doesn’t work, to even try to figure out how to do things like record those video streamers.
I use the Channels plus application from fancy bits. And it definitely took a while to figure out what link the channels plus application wanted me to input, I had to ask for customer service help several times, but now it is finished and all of the Pluto channels are pulled into my Channels plus grid guide. It seems to only pull down five hours of guy data, not sure why, but it definitely is nice to have it all in one application. Especially because the channels plus application works very well with VoiceOver, the screen reader and IT devices for blind people.
@@kevinj8258 Channels has two Apps. The ogiginal version only supports Live TV and guide data for the HDHomerun tuners. Channels DVR adds the ability to record shows and much more...

MeTV in Lynch Station Virginia went dark this morning (August 5th 2022) with the message "This channel is now encrypted". The channel was WSLS 10.3 out of Roanoke Virginia. I just thought I'd let you know, have a great day.
There is another way as well to record/stream a Roku/Fire Stick, You can get an Elgato Capture Card and a VHD Splitter to do the same thing. It also works for HDCP Game Consoles and other broadcast electronics. I know this because that is what I do. Thanks for the video Antenna Man.
Rather than messing with the streaming boxes, it's easier to record your computer screen with a Hauppauge. But it's best to use two computers--one to play the video and the second to record it. I'm sure you could do something similar with an Elgato capture device too.
Another way I record content off Tubi and Pluto TV is with a $20 USB HDMI capture card. On my desktop I install OBS and connect my XBOX Series S to the HDMI capture card, install Tubi and Pluto find something to record and start recording. Works perfectly. Also I can pause recording during commercials. Plus the HDMI capture device ignores HDMI copy protection which means I can record Netflix and Hulu.
Question about VPN. So, we have Fire stick and antenna (had Tablo and would not stay connected with antenna and no help from tech support, it was 4-5 months old). The reason we got antenna is because we have the wireless Internet (only option). It resets itself all the time and never is our main location where we are. It says we are like four to six hours away in different states. Would VPN allow us to set a stable location, like our actual address even when our Internet connection says we are some where else. Thanks, I'm not real tech savvy.
Hi thank you for the interesting information. My Android TV Box box only has 1 HDMI output which goes to the TV. How would i connect the Cloner Alliance to record? Can the Cloner be connected to a PC/Laptop to download the mp4's?
At least this helped me create my BBC iPlayer and ITV Hub accounts especially because I want to watch the UK Version of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire and I defiantly saved the HDMI Cloner for future reference
I sometimes record shows from streaming apps, because of lot of stuff might get deleted because of licensing issues. Similar to how Netflix removes content once their license to those shows expire!
Would have liked to have seen how the cloner device is connected. I have Fire sticks but also have a Nvidia Shield, actually connecting to one of the devices would have been more helpful. I will do more research but great information just to know the ability is available
I used to be able to record Tubi TV and Pluto TV with the built-in screen recorder on my Samsung Galaxy S10. When I recently tried it, I just got a black screen during playback.
I live in a "very weak" signal area on tvfool for Over the air television in my area. Is it even worth it to try and receive the 4-6 channels? If so what's the best antenna setup I would need.
Can I record shows on Puffer? There is a two hour time difference so I have to stay up till 11PM to start watching shows. If I can how would I go about it. I have a Roku player and a lg smart tv. Your help would be much appreciated as I live to far away from tv towers to pick up anything over the air. Thanks
I'd be interested to see how, or even if, a VCR could be programmed to record HDMI video. Maybe if the HDMI-out from the antennae/stream box was converted to RCA or coaxial, then connected to the VCR input, then the coaxial-out or RCA-out was converted back into HDMI for the HDMI-in on the TV. I wonder how much that would interfere with the final picture and sound quality.
Good news at a good time . Been wanting to have this capability for quite a while now. Now if it works for a time like over a year before they figure it out.Then it will be worth the price. I hardly watch any ota currently but was considering a new HD dvr ( have 6 already) this will be put on hold and your suggestion will most likely be soon purchased. Considering how much I have in dvrs the price of the better unit isn’t bad at all Good work!
Awesome 👍 video Antenna Man I've been using the cloner alliance and the Unisheen which is basically the same thing but I think it's great you let folks know they have options
Understanding that I will be required to have the channel that I want to record up and ruining, does the scheduling function work with SoPlayer streams?
I purchased a Cloaner Alliance to record some personal video's I had on VHF tape. I found it was NOT a standalone unit but had to operate with Windows. Perhaps it's the model I purchased, but I was very disappointed. I tried to record to a memory stick and occasionally the video would record, but mostly it would not. I tried a standard USB drive and it wouldn't work. I never found it to be a dependable solution for me. When it did work, it would not create a standard MP4 file that I could simply transfer or play with another player. You didn't mention that you actually tested this product yourself, which I found a bit odd. Also, most OTA recorders won't record analog either. In years back, I would simply route my video into a Hauppauge card and record with WinTV, but all of these solutions use a Windows machine, which I don't use anymore, and never going back to Windows. New OTA recorders just pick up and record digital. I'm still looking for a true standalone HDMI recorder that produces MP4's.
Buy a VCR. You can get one at a yardsale for free or next to nothing. You can record anything on your tv screen. 👍 Great videos as always. Keep them coming.
Great video. However, "The HDMI recorders will record from a smart TV. You need a separate streaming device like a Roku or Firestick and a flash drive." I think you meant to put "not" between "will" and "record" regarding smart TVs.

Thank you, this is excellent information. This would be helpful for me when, I need to record movies that will only be posted on a "free" streaming service for a limited time only (smile...smile).
Why not feed that video to a USB HDMI input device on your computer? That way, you could program the computer to record anytime, or do live recording straight to PC.

@@kevinj8258 - Consumer recordings for private use has nothing to do with the license between the content owner and the distributor.

The only app I use to watch movies is Tubi who doesn't want to watch free movies no one wants to pay I can deal with the annoying ads no problem there free is free Netflix doesn't even have the movie children of the corn from 1984 Tubi has it but they remove it than beings it back again but still they have it all the new movies are no good I haven't been to the movies since 2005 because of there's no good movies
Always enjoy your video. You can also record directly from your firestick, cube of android box, by adding a flash drive. I have a 256 mb flash on my fire cube. and I'm able to set recording far in advance. And I am able to record with Recast and Tablo over the air antenna.
Let me ask, when you record directly using your fire TV cube, does it produce a MP4 that can be transfered and played with another player, OR, do you have to use your Fire TV cube to play it?
@@RickPaquin (I have 256 MB) When you format it for external usage. This way you will be able to use it on other devices. Not sure what mp4 is so I can't address that question. You can also do this with a fire stick or android box. I love it, I can set recording for in advance, Love it.

Yeah, way to get your point through I suppose.
I actually don't use it. I only went on the site to show an example. I only use an antenna for TV and a relative's paramount+ account
The only app I use to watch movies is Tubi who doesn't want to watch free movies no one wants to pay I can deal with the annoying ads no problem there free is free Netflix doesn't even have the movie children of the corn from 1984 Tubi has it but they remove it than beings it back again but still they have it all the new movies are no good I haven't been to the movies since 2005 because of there's no good movies

Always enjoy your video. You can also record directly from your firestick, cube of android box, by adding a flash drive. I have a 256 mb flash on my fire cube. and I'm able to set recording far in advance. And I am able to record with Recast and Tablo over the air antenna.
This is good news! Thank you for the input!!
Let me ask, when you record directly using your fire TV cube, does it produce a MP4 that can be transfered and played with another player, OR, do you have to use your Fire TV cube to play it?
@@RickPaquin (I have 256 MB) When you format it for external usage. This way you will be able to use it on other devices. Not sure what mp4 is so I can't address that question. You can also do this with a fire stick or android box. I love it, I can set recording for in advance, Love it.
Any way you can you record 1 channel while watching another?
@@williamdew9576 Yes. You can record two and watch a program at the same time.
crap boxes - Channels DVR is really the only solution
He spends half the video pitch in his channel and a mediocre VPN
If you know how to rip YT videos, you can do the same on a computer.

This is extraordinary content. I read a book with similar content, and it was nothing short of exceptional. "Reclaiming Connection: The Journey of a Digital Detox" by Joshua Ember
