Hands-on with Tablo, a DVR that streams over-the-air TV nearly anywhere

http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/11/nuvyyo-tablo-hands-on-1384562849.jpgMany streaming-savvy DVRs either lean heavily on cloud services or are linked to traditional TV – neither of which is ideal for cord cutters trying to lower their long-term costs. Nuvyyo is promising what could be a more affordable option with its upcoming Tablo DVR. The upcoming, partly crowdfunded set-top box streams both live and locally recorded over-the-air broadcasts to seemingly any internet-capable platform, including Android, iOS, Roku players and web browsers. In theory, it’s as cheap and convenient as internet-only video while delivering the wider content selection of traditional TV. We’ve had hands-on time with a Tablo prototype that suggests the company has at least latched on to a good (if imperfect) idea – read on to see what we mean. %Gallery-slideshow122001%
