FAQs
I can record almost 700 hours of HD TV, according to the 2TB hard drive I connected. The recording from the antenna works incredibly well. When using the skip feature, you must travel in 30-second intervals and estimate how long the commercial breaks will be; however, there is a 10-second reverse skip for overshooting.
The AirTV has a range of zero miles. Your antenna will provide a signal for you. There are several factors that determine that range; visit the TVfool website.
An updated response to this query given the recent developments. Even if you are not a Sling member, you MUST utilize the Sling app for Airtv on Roku. It continuously tries to upsell you on a subscription and is sluggish and awkward. If you don’t want to have sling mixed with your locals, pick Tablo as your local streamer. The AirTv is a really awful choice, and Sling has done nothing to address the fact that an upgrade invalidated tens of thousands of hard discs.
You must use the Sling TV app to access all of AirTV’s functions, including the DVR. If you decide not to sign up for any Sling services, you may still create a free Sling TV account and pay nothing.
Yes, both iOS and Android users can download an app. 4g ought should be adequate. Yes, you will need a streaming device for the non-smart TV. Roku or a firestick are both options. According to their customer service, the Roku is the best option if you want to link this with Sling so you can use the DVR functionality. Nevertheless, I haven’t tested that. Less buffering
You would have to choose between the two; however, keep in mind that the Sling app has DVR features.
Yes, I do have a non-smart TV with a Roku connection. I prefer it that way, therefore I just bought a brand-new TV without any smart features in 2019. I watch local broadcasts using the SlingTV app and have an indoor antenna connected to AirTV at the top of the house. If you don’t have a Sling subscription, it could also be done with the AirTV app.
I just connected a drive and chose “format drive” from the setup menu. I might not remember this well because it’s been a while since I did it, but it wasn’t painful.
You do not connect your television to this. This is where you attach your antenna before connecting it to the internet. However, if your receiver (Roku, Amazon Fire, etc.) accepts and transmits the signal with Dolby 5.1 encoding to the device you are connected to, you will have it. Remember that whatever you connect to the speaker receiver must be supported by it.
Yes, you are able to watch local programming while it is being recorded on your hard drive.
