do you hate paying for cable sure doesn't everyone but in this post VCR age the experience is switching to over the air has been fraught with compromises hi i'm ty pendlebury and this is a simple TV two devices like the simple TV aim to do two things a bring you a DVR with a modern and usable interface and be enable you to watch live and recorded TV anywhere on the go the original simple TV debut on kickstarter in 2012 and this new version is a little smaller and it now boasts a number of improvements including a larger number of control apps and a dual tuner this DVR is a cloud device meaning it can't be connected to a TV directly and it also lacks a wireless connection at the back you'll find a coaxial connector for your antenna as well as a USB port for a hard drive you'll need to buy one of those separately as well and an ethnic port in addition to this equipment also factor in an annual fee of sixty dollars or 149 for a lifetime so it's not the set and forget payment that the competing channel master DVR plus offers unless you still own a blackberry you'll find that your device is supported with iOS Android Roku chromecast windows 8 and failing those a web browser interface according to simple TV the Android app is the most stable and especially when compared to the flaky Windows 8 version it comes with a full channel guide as well as handy suggestions based on content like kids or movies it's easy to use and fairly fast as well recording quality though is just ok with some compression artifacts and aliasing problems on straight lines and as a result I wouldn't suggest this if you just plan to watch it on a TV but watching on a tablet pc or remote device is quite fine as far as devices that streaming record live TV is still one of the cheapest if not the best device for about one hundred and ninety nine dollars is spent I pendlebury for cnet.com
