If you don’t want to miss anything on TV, like your favorite show, the ability to record live TV is essential.
The best and easiest way to record live TV is to use NextPVR and Kodi.
This is pretty awesome for those who need something like this. Most of what I watch tends to be on catchup so I watch it that way when I have the time.
I do remember years ago, I used to have a TV box that had a DVR built in and I used that a lot to record Smackdown and RAW as that was on so late for me in the UK, it was better for me to record and watch in the morning.
