CINCINNATI –Tablo TV, a consumer technology device and app that enhances over-the-air (OTA) television viewing with an antenna, is now available on Apple TV, a new way to access 100+ free OTA and streaming channels.

“We are now on almost all major Smart TVs and streaming devices,” said Bo Schuerman, Scripps vice president of enterprise strategy. “Our loyal customers and new Tablo users have been telling us that they wanted Apple TV access and now they have it. We expect Apple TV subscribers to embrace Tablo’s unique offerings.”

Tablo is the first consumer technology device to enable whole-home viewing, recording of OTA broadcast television and FAST (free ad supported streaming) channels without a subscription.

The Tablo internet-connected device pairs with a TV antenna and sends a live TV signal to compatible smart devices allowing users to watch live broadcast TV anywhere in their homes.

It features:

  • A unified program guide – It combines live local networks with a selection of popular free streaming channels in an easy-to-navigate guide.
  • The ability to pause, record, replay – The Tablo device lets consumers record live network TV shows, special events and sports, right out of the box.
  • The ability to watch on any compatible device or platform – It supports all mobile and most connected TV platforms, including Apple TV, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Samsung Smart TVs and LG Smart TVs.
  • Assisted setup – The app helps consumers set up an antenna and Tablo device, so they get the best reception and most channels possible for their home’s location to broadcast towers.

 

Since the fourth-generation version of the Tablo device launched in August 2023, it has also added access on Samsung and LG Smart TVs and a four-tuner edition that allows users to watch, pause and record four channels with 50+ hours of onboard storage capacity.

The fourth-generation Tablo products are available at TabloTV.com, Amazon.com, HSN.com, QVC.com, BestBuy.com and in Best Buy stores across the United States. Please check the retailer website for specific device availability.
