If you’re using a wireless router, make sure that it’s not blocking the signal from your remote to your TV. Once it’s connected, it will emit infrared signals that will be received by your TV’s remote control sensor. What I mean by that is that we can’t play-back live television or recorded TV shows on an NVIDIA SHIELD or other streaming devices that aren’t compatible. If you recently purchased this device, complete that set-up process first, then set up Fire TV Recast.

You can do this at home through a Firestick/Fire TV or Echo Show or on the go through a compatible mobile device. I plugged mine directly into an available LAN port (with a network cable) on my router for a more reliable connection.This is to ensure that all Fire TV streaming media players work with Fire TV Recast, and to deliver more reliable video streams over Wi-Fi.

When playing live TV, there is absolutely no lag or stutter which I have found in other similar products. These antennas come with differing reception distances so you can choose which best fits your needs. You’ll have full access to all the features and functions of your TV, including the ability to change channels, adjust the volume, and access menu options. I recently replaced my Dad’s indoor RCA antenna with the 60-Mile Indoor Mohu Leaf and it made a huge difference in the number and quality of channels received.

Note: You can use Alexa to control Fire TV Recast on any Fire TV streaming media player with an Alexa Voice Remote, Fire TV Edition television, or Echo Show. Without the jumble of advertising, a two week program guide enabling series recordings has a small monthly fee (discounted annually) above the free two day guide. Personally, I would never have the need to record more than two shows via over-the-air antenna so 4 tuners is a little overkill in my opinion. What do you plan on recording that isn’t available through various apps such as Cinema APK, Kodi, etc.
