How to Record TV Shows without DVR

There are a lot of ways to do this, but in this piece, we’ll talk about how to Record TV Shows without DVR. There are a lot of choices out there. Use an Over-the-Air (OTA) receiver or a USB drive to record. You can also use software that is available online to keep track of your favorites.

Digital Video Recorders (DVRs) became very popular in the early 2000s because they made it easy to record TV shows without having to put a VHS tape in the player and press the record button. But cable companies usually give out DVRs, and more and more people are cutting the cord these days.

Today, technology has gotten better and given us so many options for how to spend our free time. We can all watch TV, but sometimes we miss our favorite shows because of how our work plans change or because of things that are hard to predict. Just record your favorite shows and watch them whenever you want. But then, there’s the question of how to keep track of it.

How to Record TV Shows without DVR via USB Stick

You can use a USB recording device to learn how to record TV shows without a DVR. Most TVs come with PVR software already installed, so it’s easy to connect the TV to a DVR and record TV shows. Through USB recording, TV shows can be saved to an external device that is linked to the TV.

But this way isn’t perfect because you only have to deal with the Freeview on your TV. So, it’s hard to record video from devices like the Amazon Fire TV stick. Make sure your TV has a USB port before you look at the steps below. Then, use the instructions below.

• Find the USB slot on the back of the TV to know whether you can connect it via a USB. If it has, then you can move to the next step. 
• Connect your USB HDD to the TV. Then, check the TV to see if the PVR function is accessible.
• Based on your TV settings, you ensure the format HDD and other options for PVR. 
• Now, with the built-in PVR function, you can start the TV recording mission.
