Roku’s media player is a great device to watch content from Netflix and Hulu Plus on, but it lacks access to live TV — that is, unless you use a neat little hack to turn your Roku into a DVR that is capable of serving up live and archived broadcast content. Check it out:
- The Nowhere DVR is a private Roku channel, which can be installed through a link on this page.
- Check out our previous episode featuring Roku tips and tricks if you need more help installing private channels.
The EyeTV One HD TV
tuner retails for about $100 retail. We showed some of the other things you can do with it in a previous episode.
- The folks on the Roku forum have found a bunch of tricks to improve the video quality of the Nowhere DVR streams.
I'll be talking about the Roku box once I get to talking about the great devices out there, but this hack doesn't seem worth the trouble. The new Roku should be able to play video that you're recording on your PC if you've already gotten a tuner card or stick. Still, shows you that that Roku box is a great investment.
