The name is a little misleading it will NOT record live TV from hardware only video stream from the internet.

Will this program record shows on "free" streaming channels like Pluto, FreeVee, Tubi, etc?

This programme will not work in New Zealand. Tried it before and it limited how much you can watch. It can not get most overseas channels as it says. Not worth it I would much rather have sky over this any day.

If a channel limits the access to a certain country ("geoblocking"), this tool will not help you.

This seems a rerun of a previous offer, and my comments are from that.

I installed it over my 2022 version, and it kept my settings, but strangely, it also kept the older version, though I did not choose a different directory. If I had uninstalled the old version first, I was afraid it wouldn’t keep my settings.

Overall, it’s a good program worth having, with many TV channels and the advantage that you can add further channels from their URLs.

But it’s not without flaws, fortunately minor:
It takes a while to open, and then greets you with a splash screen urging the purchase of premium channels.
Annoyingly, it also turns sound volume right down every time you close it.

But the main weakness is that stream recording is basic. You press the button to start recording, and press it again to stop it. There doesn’t seem to be a possibility for programming channel, start and stop times in advance, as we could with the old cassette video players.

And they do keep sending you the usual emails, but you can stop those.
