Tablo is the solution

This tablo is a great DVR solution if you are using OTA antenna. One thing that was disappointing was when I connected my antenna to tablo i received less channels than when I had it connected to my Xbox one via hauppague tuner. You definitely lose some signal strength by connecting to Tablo as opposed to straight to a TV or an Xbox one tuner. I called tablo about this and they said that it was normal (the reason was technical for me to explain but they did give me a reason). The folks at Tablo were easy to get on the phone, seemed knowledgable and were ready to assist with any problems, that is a big plus. It’s so easy to set up that you probably won’t need any help though.
It’s great that you only need one antenna rather than having to buy an antenna for every TV or splitting your feed.
I can watch and record live TV from my antenna on any TV (as long as you have installed the Tablo App on your roku, firestick, Xbox, etc). I can even watch and record from my mobile device when I am not home.
One other thing that doesn’t bother me too much but may bother some people is that it can take about 10-20 seconds to change the channel. It’s not a big deal because I’m not going to be channel surfing the OTA feed, I’m either watching something or recording something.
Depends on your location how many OTA channels you can get.
Tablo gives you free guide data for the next 24 hours, that’s ok. If you want the 2 weeks of guide data, cover art, ability to set series recordings, and ability to watch when outside of your home network, then you do need to pony up 5 bucks a month, $100 a year, or $150 for your life. That seems reasonable to me.
This device, to my knowledge, cannot be used with cable or streaming services. It’s for OTA only.
It runs a little hot and I understand that that is normal.
If you plan on ditching cable and you want to DVR network television, this is a product that you need. I paid $200 for the tablo duel. It’s a little steep upfront but worth every penny, in my opinion
