How Many Programs Can I Watch or Record at Once?

The number of programs you can record or watch at once depends on which Fire TV Recast model you have.

Fire TV Recast has two models: 500 GB with 2 tuners, and 1000 GB with 4 tuners. If you're watching Fire TV Recast content or recording a channel, each of these actions uses a tuner.

With a 2-tuner Fire TV Recast, you can:

  • Record up to 2 programs at once.
  • Watch up to 1 live and 1 recorded program on different devices, while recording another.
  • Watch up to 2 recorded programs on different devices, while recording 2 programs in the background.
  • Watch up to 2 live programs on different devices at once.

With a 4-tuner Fire TV Recast, you can:

  • Record up to 4 programs at once.
  • Watch up to 1 live and 1 recorded program on different devices, while recording up to 3 other programs in the background.
  • Watch up to 2 recorded programs on different devices, while recording up to 4 programs in the background.
  • Watch up to 2 live programs on different devices while recording up to 2 other programs in the background.

Note: No matter how many tuners you have, you can't watch Fire TV Recast content on more than two devices at once.
