  • Roku devices don't have built-in recording capabilities, but you can record on Roku through several streaming channels.
  • Channels like YouTube TV, Sling TV, and Hulu with Live TV let you record live network television and watch it later, just like a DVR.
  • All of these are premium Roku channels which require an additional subscription.

Roku devices don't have any built-in recording capabilities. But that doesn't mean you can't record video that you watch on Roku channels, though. 

While no Roku devices have digital video recorder (DVR) features or built-in storage, a number of Roku streaming channels do offer "cloud DVR" services, which means you can record movies and TV shows, store the content online, and watch them on-demand — in many cases, even programming from live television. 

Here are the Roku streaming channels that include recording capabilities.

Check out the products mentioned in this article:

Roku Ultra (From $99.99 at Best Buy)

Sling TV (From $15 per month at Sling)

FuboTV (From $54.95 per month at FuboTV)

Hulu with Live TV (From $44.95 per month at Hulu)

YouTube TV

YouTube TV — not to be confused with YouTube — offers live television programming from more than 70 TV channels that include the standard networks, ESPN, CNN, the Disney Channel, and many more. YouTube TV costs $50 per month, and includes unlimited storage space for recordings. 



Sling TV

Sling TV, like YouTube TV, is aimed at people who want to "cut the cord" and eliminate cable. But like cable, Sling offers a number of subscription plans, from 30 channels for $15 per month, to 50 channels for $25 per month. For an additional $5, you can add a DVR-like recording option to record up to 50 hours of content for later playback.



fuboTV

This sports-focused service delivers over 100 channels of live local, national and international sports programming for $55 per month. Included in that price is 30 hours of DVR recording, but you can upgrade to 500 hours of recording for another $10 per month.



Hulu with Live TV

An add-on to the standard Hulu service, Hulu with Live TV offers about 80 channels, including local programming, for $45 per month. It includes 50 hours of recording storage, which you can increase to 200 hours for an additional $10 per month.



AT&T TV Now

Formerly known as DirecTV Now, the service includes several options, from 45 channels for $50 per month to more than 60 channels for $70. Every subscription includes 20 hours of recording.



Philo

Offering 58 channels of cable TV (including AMC, A&E, BET, Comedy Central, Discovery, and HGTV), Philo is among the more affordable options at $16 per month, and includes unlimited recording.

People leave jobs for all kinds of reasons, but when it’s a CFO departing a richly valued company as the company itself conducts layoffs, the exodus can be a sign of a larger issue. This was one of the takeaways I had when chatting with Continuum CEO and co-founder Nolan Church about a recent spree of CFO resignations, including but not limited to OpenSea, Noom and Brex. The founder reiterated that we don’t know the exact reasons that people are leaving, but he also noted that it’s a red flag from a recruitment perspective. He also introduced me to the idea of zombie companies, which I appreciated as it is officially spooky season and we love a festive framework. Zombie companies are basically companies that raised a ton of money over the boom cycle but aren’t producing nearly enough revenue to justify the valuation. The late-stage market is full o...

Richard Tsong-Taatarii/Star Tribune via AP, Pool File What's at stake: Minneapolis' first-term Mayor Jacob Frey won reelection against numerous challengers in the city's ranked-choice election, where all candidates ran on the same ballot. The main Democratic Farmer-Laborer challengers to Frey were former state lawmaker Kate Knuth, community organizer Sheila Nehzad, Cedar-Riverside Community Council leader AJ Awed, and attorney Clint Conner . A smattering of Republican, independent, and third-party candidates also ran. Frey has faced local and national scrutiny for his handling of crime and policing issues in the city following the murder of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin and the ensuing months of protests and civil unrest that Floyd's murder sparked around the country. The spotlight on that shooting made police and publ...
