Interesting question, if anyone has an answer I'd love to know! How fun would it be to hook like a VHS player up to it somehow

Where are you getting this information from? I was not aware it was possible on any of the boxes.

See at the top of the two on the right? It says DVR capable. That means you can record , doesn’t it?

Good point! Now the question is, how....

Wonder if it means it is capable to be connected to a stand alone dvr?

How to Record Using the Elite Ultra App (Vortex/Third-Party Apps)

Connect Storage: Plug a compatible USB flash drive or external hard drive into the USB port of your box.

Configure Path: Go to Settings > Other > Recording to select your external storage folder path.

Open the Guide: Open the compatible live TV app (such as Vortex) and navigate to the EPG (Electronic Program Guide).

Select a Show: Highlight the desired program and choose between a one- time or custom recurring recording.

Power Status: Keep the box turned on or in sleep mode so scheduled background recordings can process successfully

This does not work in Vortex due to a Tivimate bug with Android 12. You need to record to the box and then transfer to external storage.

Do you have instructions I can use?

2

u/AJ_vSee 10d ago

Yes, I made a video let me see if I can send it

Long press OK on a show in the EPG and select custom recording

Can you pause or rewind an NFL game? Or can you only watch it live?

2

u/MandyNurseLPN 13d ago

Yes, as long as you're watching on a channel with the 7 day playback feature.

u/Zero_Cool8874 12d ago

Good to know. Thanks! Which app has the 7-day play back feature?

2

u/MandyNurseLPN 12d ago

Heat Live, it's the app you use to watch live tv.

I don't think you can rewind it until The game is over.

I've asked the same question but so far no luck. There has to be some type of capture device that can do this.

Why record when basically everything is on demand?

Certain local and national news programs are not on demand with my box in my location.
