INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Amazon already makes several devices to plug into the back of your TV set, but there's apparently another one on the way: a DVR device for
recording live TV that will let you catch up on your favorite shows whenever you've got time.Bloomberg reports that the device, codenamed
Frank, will have local storage space as well as connecting to streaming players including the Amazon Fire TV
The same wireless tech that's built into the Amazon Echo range of speakers will also be built into whatever Frank turns out to be, according
to an inside source.As well as recording shows and movies, the upcoming box will also be able to then send that content to smartphones and
very crowded space, the Amazon Frank would be another box for getting content up on your big screen
Whether it would also have the same apps and capabilities as a Fire TV device remains to be seen.With many apps and services now streaming
content straight from the cloud, we'll have to wait and see how much appetite there is for a new device that saves video to a disk instead
YouTube TV, for example, includes a DVR component for saving shows, but works entirely in the cloud with no extra hardware required.The
insider source also told Bloomberg that an update is on the way for the Fire TV Stick, though there aren't any more details on that just yet
