Tablo TV is a digital video recorder (DVR) designed for Over-The-Air (OTA) broadcast television signals. It receives free OTA signals from an antenna, allowing users to watch live TV or record programs to an external USB hard drive or internal storage, depending on the model. Tablo connects to a home network via Wi-Fi or Ethernet and is controlled through a streaming device, tablet, or web application. This setup enables viewing on various devices without traditional cable subscriptions.
How it works:
- An antenna picks up free OTA TV signals.
- Tablo receives and processes these signals.
- Users can watch live TV or record shows to the device's storage.
- Recorded content and live TV can be streamed to different devices in the home network.
- It offers features like pausing live TV, rewinding, and fast-forwarding.
- The program guide provides listings for up to 14 days to schedule recordings.
- Recording options include single episode, whole series, or new episodes only, with customizable start/end padding.
Tablo essentially replaces cable by maximizing free broadcast signals with DVR and streaming convenience.
