    Discover the World of Free TV with Tablo

    Discover, watch, pause, rewind, record, and stream live Over-The-Air (OTA) HDTV programs from your antenna on any device, anytime, anywhere.

    Network-Connected Tablo OTA DVRs, including Tablo DUAL LITE and Tablo QUAD models, do not feature HDMI connections, instead they connect to your home Wifi router by ethernet or WiFi, so one DVR can stream OTA TV content to Tablo Apps on your favorite devices, both inside and outside your home.

    Meanwhile TV-Connected Tablo OTA DVRs like the Tablo DUAL HDMI and Tablo QUAD HDMI offer a more traditional setup with their own remote and a direct HDMI connection to your TV.

    Major Network Channels Broadcast Over-The-Air (OTA)

    In most cities and towns in the United States, you can use a simple TV antenna to access major TV networks including ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, PBS, and the CW, not to mention a bunch of affiliates and subchannels - for free.

    Catch Your Favorite Primetime TV Shows, News, & Sports

    These free OTA TV channels broadcast your local news, sports, and weather, as well as 94 of the top 100 shows on TV today, including your favorite primetime network sitcoms, dramas and reality TV shows.

    HDTV Picture Quality > Cable

    Cable companies compress their TV signals in order to deliver phone, TV, & internet over a single connection. OTA TV signals received through antennas are uncompressed, delivering a crisp HDTV picture, far superior to what you can get from cable.

    Save Money & Bandwidth

    One of the Best, because this gorgeous HDTV content is being delivered free via your Over-the-Air TV antenna instead of an internet connection, you can watch as much HDTV as you you want at home without impacting your internet datacap.

    Two Types of Tablo OTA DVRs for TV Lovers: Networked and HDMI-Connected.

    Really love this!
    5 Stars
    Really love this!
    I bought two of the Tablo dual OTA DVRs with remotes, one for each television. I could have gotten only one of the other kind (without remote but that requires a Fire Stick or Smart TV or Hulu something or other) but to me that would defeat the purpose of de-smartifying.This device works great. The interface is as fast as my old fire sticks or Hulu tvs. The remote feels high quality and there is, if anything, less lag and fewer missed button presses (and fewer creaks and groans as I push buttons). I'm paying $7 per month total per TV for auto commercial skip (works on 80% of shows) and the advanced guide (really nice pictures of each show like on Netflix or Prime Video, 2-week scheduling) which even have a little counter in the corner for how many episodes of each show have been recorded. Setting up the recordings is easier and better than Hulu and other services--it is very easy to see what you have scheduled, what has been recorded, etc. (you do need an external hard drive, so that is an initial investment of maybe $60 for 2TB which is maybe 500 hours of recording or something). It is really a well thought-out interface and very easy to use. It looks just like the streaming services like Netflix or Hulu--nice pictures of each show, you can click on them for more information, etc., but it is simpler--everything you need and nothing you don't. Setting up series recordings is incredibly easy. And, unlike Hulu, when I tell it to record something it always does.You will have fewer choices of what to watch; based on my location/antenna, I get CBS, NBC, ABC, Fox, four different PBS channels (Create, World, etc.), CW, Ion, Me, Grit, and a couple of others. So, I have only hundreds of choices of what to watch instead of tens of thousands. My life is better and simpler now. It takes me 30 seconds to decide what to watch instead of 10 minutes. It is still PLENTY of options. It's like the cereal isle at the grocery store with 200 different cereals...do we really need that? Are our lives better with that? Or are these just distractions? Well you know what I think.I'd give this 10 stars if I could.Thank you Tablo for catering to those of us who want to de-technologize and de-smartify without losing quality and functionality!
