    You can record on them. I've only done it once by accident but you can do it with the correct addons

    I use a fire stick which was £25 from track but I think they're £35 these days. Ideal for streaming but due to space issues they wouldn't do the job for saving things really. There are about a million different boxes out there though and I'm sure some will have the required disc space or even a mini PC would work perfectly well

    You can always install Kodi on your laptop or tablet and then connect that via HDMI.
