does this record from the “firestick”?
No, it does not record anything on its own. It is not a DVR. It is basically the same as a FireTV stick, except that it’s a little more powerful, it works with Alexa without pressing the button on the remote, and it can power on and control your TV and sound system. If you want a DVR, I believe Amazon does sell one for FireTV devices, but it’s overpriced.
