I have several Channel Masters with the external drive. Probably what Walmart sells rebranded or something. Send me your address and I'll ship you one. It has a smart TV app. In the end I think it was that it was a per display thing we replaced them for. I have 4 of these I don't use. I want to say they were maybe $95 each, then add the external SSD of whatever size added another $85 or so.
We use Aamazon Alexa to a great extent and have liked the Amazon OTA DVR. Having said that, it seems to require rebooting about every 6 weeks when the streaming locks up. I should get a simple timer device to reboot it at 4AM. Other than that, I like the whole thing and its integration to Amazon Prime is handy if you already use that. It is simple enough for the wife to use, which counts for a lot.
