Thanks Lewis. I might take you up on that.
Looking something that comes with an on screen display for the channel guide.
Some of them seem to hint there is some kind of pseudo open google guide that
they integrate with.

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.

I switched to airTV and then converted it to Sling. It is buggy. Does not
always record what you tell it to, it will not allow fast forward on local
channels and the audio level is much higher than all my other hdmi inputs like
Roku.
So looking again for an ATA receiver. Walmart has a really low cost unit
that can record if you connect an external drive. It allows time shift etc.
Does not stream over you network, you will have to have it connected to
your display. And you will have to feed it an RF TV signal. But the whole
streaming over the network by Tivo and Sling/AirTV has not exactly been
flawless.
Anyone using anything else they really like? One of my larger spots in the
house to watch TV has a large monitor with no F connector. So I need something
there. I would like something with a channel guide so that is one thing Sling
does for me.
