Can you use DVR functionality with an Apple TV?

Yes, an individual can use DVR functionality with an Apple TV, but it requires utilizing third-party apps or services because the Apple TV itself does not have a built-in DVR. Services such as Sling TV, YouTube TV, and Hulu with Live TV offer cloud-based DVR services that work seamlessly with Apple TV. Users can record live television broadcasts and store them in the cloud to watch later on their Apple TV device. Additionally, some network-specific apps might offer on-demand content, which effectively serves a similar purpose to a DVR by allowing users to access previously aired shows at their convenience. With a subscription to a compatible service and its accompanying app installed on the Apple TV, viewers can easily enjoy DVR-like features for recording and watching shows according to their own schedules.
