AFAIK, the OTA (antenna) channels are the same. Is it the lack of some program guide?
https://www.cnet.com/news/cut-the-cord-with-tablos-over-the-air-dvr-for-100/ covers some other ideas but you need to touch base with each maker to see if there is something missing for Canada.
Hello.
Can anyone suggest a good quality PVR (DVR?) suitable for recording programs from an antenna that will work in Canada? Must be simple to operate with a pause button, a button for recording the remainder of a program and can be watched while recording a show at the same time. I am looking for a friend who has a severe case of MS and easily gets frustrated.
We’ve tried MediaScan Homeworx but it failed after less than two months. A more expensive solution would not be a problem. The antenna is Channel Master and her previous DVR was a Channel Master 7500, which is no longer available. Channel Master now has only two options -- an inexpensive 7004 that does not pause, record mid-program or allow watching and recording at the same time, and 7600 that seems like the answer but will not operate in Canada. Don’t know why not.
Any help would be much appreciated.
