If this was called AirTV 2 setup or even Over the Air Channels Setup it would have been much more straightforward. Setup is also a little confusing - it doesn't use the AirTV app like the original version but is accessed by an easy-to-miss option in the Settings tab called Over the Air Channels. Also, be aware that it can't record streaming channels, just local ones, and so you're still limited to either the 10 hour or 50 hour recording times there. You need to use the app on Roku, Amazon FireTV Android TV, iOS, or Android or via the AirTV mini or AirTV player. The second is that while it lets you watch and record on the go it doesn't work on as many platforms as the app itself does. There are a few limitations that stunt its usefulness - the first is that you can't pause live TV on local channels. It accepts up to 2TB of external storage. If you have a lot of broadcast channels in your area it will let you see them all - in my NYC test area, for example, I was able to view and record 76 different channels. While not the most elegant solution I've seen the AirTV 2 is still a solid OTA DVR. On some recordings I had a better experience - for instance I was able to fast-forward on recordings of Discovery without issue. It's not always clear which channels you can't DVR, and sometimes when time-shifting a live program you'll come across unskippable, undefeatable ads.
First off, you can't record anything at all on the ESPN and Disney channels. My only main issue with the service was with the DVR. With the multiple discovery screens, including the main My TV screen, there were plenty of options even when I didn't know what I wanted. Navigation is zippy, and it was easy to find the content I wanted to watch and record.
