@@momzilla9491 I prefer old reel to reel recorder. Good ol 60's tech! much better then a "V C R "! And it provides that old school look. And that is fine! because it fits good with my 19" Trinatron tube TV from the late 70's. Why upgrade or spend money when this old stuff is still working fine!
The Cloner Alliance on Amazon has this little gem in the description [The device does not support any content protected by HDCP.

I have this cloner box and it does work to record anything that you can stream. I did need to add a hdmi splitter but that was cheap to add. My biggest issue with this unit is there is no pause button. I contacted the cloner people and said they need to add a pause to the remote. Deaf ears. Heck, vcr’s have a pause button. I don’t get it.
@@gabesvidz yes. Pause during a commercial for example. Then unpause to continue recording. Guess this feature is beyond the capabilities of their IT staff.
He said he has the hdmi connected to the box so plug the fire stick into the devices hdmi in port and the box is connected to the tv via hdmi out port. Common sense
I have several streaming services. Can the recorder be set up to record from specific apps/streaming service at specific times, like a traditional DVR/Tivo?
So, basically, the cloner box goes in between the FireStick and the TV source. Correct? You are simply passing though the cloner box and recording anything you play on the Firestick. Correct? So, this should work on any app in Firestick, like TH-cam, HBO Max etc. Correct? This should also work with a Roku and the flash drive can be removed and played on other device that has a USB input. Correct? I know, this is a lot of assumptions but I think that is what I understand. Thanks
EWhen you mentioned the scheduling feature you never mentioned if you could set THE CHANNEL!!!!! What exactly does the scheduler allow you to do that is useful?
It may be good for recording something you're watching but unless you can have a guide and choose different days and different events to record it's not a DVR!

All our hi-tech video connections in 2021 have all these guides and more. After deciding what you want to record the C-A Box Pro records it. It doesn't care about guides only what you tell it to record. It is much better than a DVR with guides because it will record anything. Use it wisely.

Can you help I have a USB stick on the back of my TV ,,how do I watch another programme , without stopping the programme it recording ,do i have to get a smart box with the guide programme
So this just clones the screen image/box menus also. So is not going to work with internal app recordings. So if the box goes into sleep mode it’s going to end your recording or record the power saving screen. The only/best use I can see this is used for is these demo type videos explaining how to use apps and have the full record. Or if you want to record a one off event when you are watching Live where the screen/tv remains in and active. Use a tv listing recording app if you want to record individual shows and not what your box is doing.....
Thought a nice tv like that would have fire built in I have a Toshiba fire tv 4 k is has so I’m taking if I want to record from my fire smart tv I will need to get a fire stick because you can’t record from hdmi from the box because it’s a input only not a output 👍

To "schedule record" a program daily on the TV , does the source program's channel have to be playing at the time of recording? In other words, I have to leave the TV on that channel playing 24/7, so it records? Can I set to record daily more than one TV program or video? thanks
I'm curious to know if you can use an HDMI splitter with this device to hook one or more of your units with this such as Nvidia Shield, fire stick at the same time so you can go back and forth to either device.

Hiya, I am in Liverpool, UK. Is there an equivalent machine, which can be used in the UK? Alternatively, does the same machine work just as well in the UK as it works in the USA@?
You forgot to mention that if you record a football game for example, you do not find the recorded game as one file but it will be recorded in several parts. Something i did not like
I use the Cloner Alliance UHD pro to record all West Ham United matches direcetly from my 4k Firestick to a 1.5 TB removeable hard drive. The files are not split. I usually record each half separately as this means they are easier to archive onto disc (2 discs per match). The only problem I have is that there is no hdmi pass through when the Cloner Alliance box is switched off. To get around this, when I am not watching West Ham United, my Firestick is connected via an extended hdmi lead straight into my receiver and then, if I want to watch football, I take the Firestick out of the extension lead and connect it directly to the Cloner Alliance box. I then hook up the hdmi lead out of the Cloner Alliance box into my receiver using the same lead that usually takes the Firestick output to it (remembering of course to first change the audio output on the Firestick settings to PCM...because of course, the Cloner Alliance box cannot process Dolby 5.1 or better) .. despite this, the Cloner Alliance is is terrific bit of kit and the recordings it produces are spectacular.... it soon pays for itself.
It's called a 25$ 4K video capture card and will work fine, I've been recording everything for years They also have 🆓 screen recording apps that work similarly 🤷🏼♂️✌🏼
@@iannene750 I don't use a 4K card the files are toooo big for me. I use a 4k passthrough meaning I can watch 4K but it records @ 1080p 60 & I use OBS to record it's free & easy or prism also free 🤷🏼♂️
It looks like you have to pretty much aim right at the unit with the remote and must be pretty close to it. Can you program a recording or do you have to physically be there to start and stop a recording?
Dean Miller--Does it record HDCP content? I tried to use a AVerMedia unit on Fire Stick, and it wouldn`t record anything because of HDCP. Also, Amazon has what is called a "Flint" model, but not a "Pro". Same thing?
