Amazon Fire TV Recast: The Amazon DVR is real, and starts at $230

The Fire TV Recast is similar to products from competitors like the Air TV ($120, but you need to bring your own storage) and others. But at this price -- and without the apparent need for subscription fees -- a company like TiVo is no doubt looking nervously over its shoulder.
The new product was announced by Dave Limp, senior vice president of Amazon Devices at the company's big hardware event in Seattle. It will be available later this fall in two versions: the two-tuner 500GB model for $230, and the four-tuner version with 1TB of storage for $280. It's available for preorder now, and ships Nov. 14. UK and Australian pricing and availability weren't announced.
