It works. Need an antenna and a tuner. When you set the recording, you can opt to have commercials removed.

I know it works because that is my recordings are setup and they don’t have the commercials. Its not 100% perfect, it does miss some occasionally.

Are you having trouble with viewing OTA recorded shows via a FireTV stick? Mine have been crashing since the new UI update?
