Before we go, some words on the Fire TV Recast in case you are interested. It is available for pre-order stateside starting today with shipping slated to happen beginning November 14. Two models are being offered here: a 2-tuner model with 500 GB storage that affords up to 2 shows to be recorded at once and stores up to 75 hours of HD programming, and a 4-tuner model that has a whopping 1 TB storage for recording up to 4 shows simultaneously and holds up to 150 hours of HD programming.

It is not quite affordable though with the 2-tuner model asking for $229.99 and the 4-tuner model, $279.99. But as boon, it does not require any additional monthly charges or subscription fees. What’s more. Amazon said soon you will be able to further expand the built-in storage by hooking Fire TV Recast to an external hard drive via the USB port.
