Best Buy offers the Amazon Fire TV Recast OTA 500GB 2 Tuner DVR for $129.99 shipped. That’s a $100 discount from Amazon and $50 less than the best price we’ve tracked there. Pick up the 1TB four tuner model for $179.99 (Reg. $280). For Fire TV fans, the Recast DVR arrives as a way to cut the cord and still record your favorite shows. This model offers two tuners for recording multiple shows at once along with enough DVR storage for up to 75 hours of content. It’s also compatible with other Alexa devices, so you can use your voice to search for what’s on TV, recordings, and other requests. Rated 4/5 stars by over 2,100 Amazon reviewers.

If you’re not in the Alexa ecosystem, consider saving further and going with AirTV instead. At $80, you’ll get all of the same cord-cutting technology, plus the option to record shows with an added external hard drive. It will beam content from OTA channels directly to your Roku, Fire TV, iOS and Android devices. Plus, it offers integration with the Sling TV app if you’re subscribing to that service as well. Rated 4+ stars by 55% of Amazon reviewers.
