Tablo is a digital video recorder (DVR) for Over-The-Air (OTA) broadcast television signals that is controlled by a tablet or web-based application.[1][2] Using an HDTV antenna, Tablo collects free Over-The-Air HDTV signals; allowing the user to either watch live TV or record programs to an external USB hard drive.[3] Tablo can connect to a home network through either Wi-Fi or Ethernet connections.

Many consumers are choosing to discontinue cable or satellite due to escalating costs, a movement known as cord cutting.[4] Cord cutters are beginning to supplement over-the-top content such as Hulu Plus and Netflix, with OTA programming.[5] Tablo is one of many products that have come to market with this in mind.[6][7][8]

Tablo is designed and developed by a company called Nuvyyo. Nuvyyo is an Ottawa based technology company, formed by veterans of the local technology scene, which launched in 2010.[9]

Some of Tablo's competitors are: Simple TV, Channel Master, HDHomeRun and TiVo.
