How Do You Record Over the Air Stream on Roku Device? [Solved]

I am going to record over-the-air streams on my Roku device, but I don't know if I can make it. If yes, what should I do to record on Roku? Can anybody give me a hand?

Hi! I'm sorry to tell you that your Roku device doesn't offer recording options, like cloud DVR, so you cannot directly record videos or over-the-air streams on it.

Luckily, you can now get the task done with the help of some other tools. One is to use HDMI cables, a computer, and a professional video recorder. The other one is to find some Roku streaming channels offering the cloud DVR feature. If you are still a little confused, continue reading, and I will explain them in detail:

Way 1. Record on Roku Device with a Video Recorder

To adopt this method, you need to prepare some HDMI cables, a computer, and a professional screen recorder. The HDMI cables connect the computer to your Roku device. Then, you will see the video on your PC, and you can start recording your favorite over-the-air stream!

As for the reliable video recorder, I always use EaseUS RecExperts. This software supports almost any screen recording activities on your desktop. Apart from basic recording features, it offers a schedule recording tool, an auto-stop feature, and more to improve your recording experience. Most importantly, there is no watermark or time limit for your recording!

  • Connect your computer and Roku device with HDMI cables
  • Then, launch this screen recorder on your computer and choose the recording area
  • Once done, click REC to start your recording task

Way 2. Record Roku streams via Cloud DVR

Another way is to find a streaming channel that lets you record movies and shows and store them online. According to my experience, here are some options:

  • YouTube TV
  • Sling TV
  • Hulu Live
  • Fubo

I hope you can adopt my answer!
