Channel Master Stream review: The ups and downs of an Android TV DVR

Channel Master is aware of your complaints about its Stream over-the-air DVR, but is powerless to do much about them. That's the impression I get from the Known Bugs & Issues page for its Stream DVR, a $149 set-top box that can record free over-the-air TV channels. Compared to Channel Master's now-discontinued DVR, the Stream offers a slicker interface, fancy features such as voice search, and a much bigger selection of streaming video apps. But in some ways, the Stream is less capable than the DVRs it replaces. And as a streaming box, it lacks access to some of the most popular online video services, including Netflix and Amazon Prime Video.
