Anyone here have a TABLO?
-
Tablo is a wi-fi collector for OTA (over the air) TV broadcasting. My friend in Texas last week had one and it was great. It also has a pretty high capacity DVR. Most of the cable channels and local stations we watch can be picked up out of the air. It costs $109 with the antenna, but that's it. No ongoing cost. It then runs through your Roku or smart TV over your wifi. You only need one for the whole house.
I just ordered one and will report back.

Please let me know how it goes.

What a great idea - please update on how well it works.
I have an antenna, but we don't use it. As minor as it sounds - my wife and daughter get confused if the input on the TV changes, so this would solve that by integrating straight into the smart tv

They'd go nuts at my house.
HDMI 1 = OTA Antenna
HDMI 2 = DISH
HDMI 3 = DVD -

You need a "Y" chromosome to understand the intricacies of TV inputs. I have verified that with at least 5 "XX" chromosome bearers.
The syndrome is similar to the "I want it to cool down faster so I'll turn the thermostat down to 60" thinking.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Or turn it up to 80 to make it warmer faster…

Hahah - spot on. I can delegate basic AV hookup jobs to my 6 year old son already ("hook your nintendo up to the other TV").

So far so good. The color is better on the Tablo than the fioptics. The antenna is against a south facing wall behind a nightstand (it fell off the wall up above but still works great. To save $100 a month? I think we're going that way. Might add a FUBO or something like that that provides the addition channels we like.

Dumb question...Particularly close to urban areas, where multiple OTA channels are easily received, coupled with many of the streaming services relentless march towards more costly subscriptions, will we see a renaissance in OTA tv?

What if you let the "XX" chromosome bearers design the UI/UX of TV connectivity and thermostats to begin with?

We should, but I doubt we will. Complacency is one factor. Another is financial approach. My approach is that if I am not constantly trying to reduce my monthly expenses they are constantly going up. Many people don't do that unless they feel some sort of pain.

Speaking of all of this, Amazon bought IMDB TV and has rechristened it as FreeVee. I may be wrong, but I think they're going to make money with it, unless they get too greedy.

I knew about a relationship, but I didn't know that they actually bought IMDB.
I'm watching "Bosch: Legacy" on FreeVee.
It has ads...

Welp, for my Amazon Prime membership, I expected "free" made-for-tv shows. Commercial-free.
Now that they bought IMDB-TV, that's out the window.
