There is a need for recording shows over just streaming VOD. All shows are not necessarily kept online. A big 1 for us is the ability to fast forward thru commercials: VOD you can’t, but if you record the show you can.
I have an LG TV and LG TV's App store is limited and doesn't have apps like ESPN. Firestick's on the other hand have many more apps including ESPN. Thus I need a $30 (one time cost) firestick.
