Amazon Said to Be Making Digital Video Recorder for Live TV


  • Amazon.com is developing a new device that records live TV, working around cable providers and encroaching on TiVo Corp.'s market, according to a person familiar with the plans.
  • The device, dubbed Frank inside Amazon, is a new type of digital video recorder for the streaming era. 
  • It would include physical storage and connect to Amazon's existing Fire TV boxes, the living room hub for the company's online video efforts, according to the person. 
  • They asked not to be identified discussing unannounced product details. An Amazon spokeswoman declined to comment.
  • The Frank DVR has the same wireless technology that Amazon's Echo speakers use to connect to Fire TV boxes. Users will be able to record live TV and stream the video to a smartphone so it can be watched later. That functionality is similar to offerings from TiVo and Dish Network Corp.'s Slingbox. 
  • Amazon hasn't made a final decision on rolling out the streaming feature, the person said, noting that the plans could either be canceled or delayed.
  • Currently, Fire TVs stream live content via the Amazon Channels service, which includes programming from providers like HBO, but the box can't store video locally.
  • Amazon is also working to better highlight live content to Fire TV users.
