For cord cutters, an OTA DVR system is an important element for a successful transition away from cable or satellite service, and the Tablo happens to be one of the best solutions we've seen yet. We hope future models offer an HDMI output, and we look forward to upgrades that allow multiple hard drives to be used at once. But even as it is, the Tablo is a slick device with a sweet interface even a tech novice can love.

The Tablo does have Wi-Fi built-in, so wired connections are not a prerequisite for setup, though we preferred to go the wired route for the sake of maintaining a consistent data pipe to the unit. Part of the reason why is that the Tablo can't take advantage of the faster throughput and range of 802.11ac, the fastest Wi-Fi standard today (it does support dual-band 802.11n though).

Under the hood, the box has dual ATSC tuners, allowing users to simultaneously watch one show on one channel while recording another show airing on a different one. Tablo does plan for a 4-tuner version in the future, which will give families who watch a wide range of shows more recording options. That box is expected to run an additional $80 ($300).
