Cord cutters DVR to record FREE TV


Free TV is local over the air TV using an antenna connected directly to your HDTV. You can get high definition TV, better resolution video than cable, from the networks such as CBS, NBC, ABC, FOX, CW, PBS, and (Spanish) Telemundo and Univision.

With Cable and Satellite TV, you typically get a DVR to record TV shows. These boxes work with the providers sources and schedules/guides. But how do you record from just an antenna?
