Since my TV has an option to pause live TV by storing the buffer on a USB device, is there a way that I can use the USB port as a DVR?
All I need is an app to record the content on to the USB drive.
I figure it's already recording the content to the USB drive anyway for the pause buffer.
This is the TV that I am using.

I have the same series roku tv and was wondering the same thing,lol. I'm a member of the roku beta test community which I test the software on roku streaming boxes/sticks for bugs and glitches before they roll out the software for updates. I'm still waiting to get into the rokutv beta testing since I've only had my tv for 2 months now. I'm planning on asking about this when I become part of them. I'd even pay for the software if they'd create a dvr software for these rokutvs.
Look into Tablo TV https://www.tablotv.com/
From what I know, it connects to an antenna, records stuff like a DVR, but then plays thru your Roku as it also connects to your LAN (typically Wi-Fi).
