Channel Master DVR+ Record Free Over the Air HDTV - DVR Alternative to Cable TV

Now Cable TV cord-cutters, can record live TV shows on a Channel Master DVR with no monthly fee

One thing many people soon miss after cutting the cord is their HDTV DVR. This is one service that Satellite and Cable TV companies offer that is well worth the money. Pausing and time-shifting your favorite shows, fast forwarding through commercials or recording an entire series on a Tivo or content provider DVR, is something that seriously changed the way we watched television.

Channel Master is bringing cable cutters back some DVR magic by offering an external box that records free over the air HDTV from an antenna signal with dual built-in ATSC tuners. The Channel Master DVR also features Ethernet or WiFi with an optional USB Wi-Fi adapter. Included is 16gb of onboard memory for storing the guide and channel information and offers limited space for recordings. To enable dual tuner recording, you must hook up an external flash or hard drive to the USB port. This also expands the Channel Master DVR+ storage capacity to hold much more recorded content.

Channel Master DVR with No Monthly Fee

One thing that most Cable TV DVRs, and even ATSC DVRs like the TiVo Roamio have in common is they require you to subscribe to their online TV Guide. While TiVo charges $14.99 per month for their service. Channel Master DVR sells their box with a lifetime subscription so there is no annoying monthly fee for their 14 day guide or DVR software. Unlike newer smaller companies, Channel Master has been in business making antennas for a long while now so they will continue to be around for a long time.

Setting Up a Channel Master DVR+ is Easy

Installing and setting up the channel master is quick and easy. It attaches to your router either by WiFi or with an Ethernet cable. Then simply attach your HD antenna cable and a HDMI cable from your television. They also sell an optional IR extension cable if you want to hide the Channel Master DVR+ inside a cabinet.
