It says "over the air", but would it be able to record cable if I plug it into my cable jack?

A cheap slow transcoder chip. Amazon has really cheaped out on the hardware components they use. In fact the 2nd gen fire tv 4k (without HDR) is faster than all the 4k products they've released in...

It'll use a small amount of data to download updates to the firmware and the programming guide data, but should not use any for in home streaming.

You need a tuner for it to act as a DVR, which is a cometely different product, not an "add on".

And a shield + HDHOMERUN (for example) would be in the same price range or more than this. And it’s not a single solution that your average consumer would purchase and setup.

I returned mine yesterday. It had buffering issues and the picture quality was not there. I have a Sony X900F and live TV looks great but this made it look awful. I had high hopes but oh well.

Plex and Emby are the closest ones I'm aware of. Plex isn't perfect, but it does most things better than WMC.

It records OTA signals and redistributes throughout your home network. Doesn't stream from the internet the way Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc do.
My parents stream OTA signals to their tablets.

My NAS is 24Tb so size is a bonus. NAS uses less power. iMac would have to be set to never sleep. TV source files are MPEG2 so they are quite large. 1 episode can be 9-10Gb.

No, because you can't take a 1080i/720p signal and convert it to 1080p. Basically, you can only stream in the same "quality" that's being broadcast over the air OTA.

No it only uses internet for guide data and updates. Recording and streaming are all done locally over your home network.
