Completely redesigned device enhances consumer
experience with no subscription fees
OTTAWA,
ON, Aug. 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The
makers of the Tablo™ device today unveiled a completely
redesigned version of its popular whole-home over-the-air DVR that
will better meet the needs of consumers by providing an enhanced
over-the-air (OTA) TV experience with content recommendations and a
curated selection of free ad-supported streaming TV (FAST) channels
integrated into the live TV guide.
The Tablo device features a sleek new look, 50+ hours of onboard
recording storage, two tuners and an optional indoor TV antenna
bundled into one affordable package. Its apps and software also
have been redeveloped, and for the first time the Tablo device's
advanced DVR scheduling and enriched TV guide data are included in
the one-time cost for the hardware with no subscriptions, contracts
or additional fees.
This is the first product launched since Nuvyyo was acquired by
The E.W. Scripps Company (Nasdaq: SSP) in 2022. The
fourth-generation Tablo device delivers an all-in-one solution for
live and recorded free TV throughout the home with a guided antenna
installation and setup and optional antenna package. Internet
access is required.
The Tablo solution makes it easy for consumers to watch and
record over-the-air TV programs from ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, ION,
Bounce, PBS, the CW, as well as many live streaming channels, in
one cohesive free TV experience. New Tablo apps are available on
Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Android TV/Google TV and iOS mobile platforms
as well as most smart TVs and mobile devices. Apple TV, Samsung and
Vizio are expected to be added later this year.
The Tablo device is available now at TabloTV.com and
BestBuy.com (MSRP is $99.95) and
will be available in Best Buy stores across the United States and online at
Amazon.com. The Tablo Total System, which includes a 35-mile
indoor TV antenna, is on sale now for $109.95 (MSRP $129.95) at TabloTV.com. Additional retail and
online distribution will follow.
