Whole-Home DVR Makes It Easy for Cord-Cutters to Access Live and Recorded TV
OTTAWA, ON — May 20, 2014 — Nuvyyo today announced availability of Tablo, the new DVR that lets cord-cutters access free local HDTV broadcast programs on any device, anytime, anywhere in the world. NewEgg.com and NewEgg.ca are now accepting orders for the Tablo 2-Tuner DVR. The Tablo 4-Tuner DVR model will be available in June.
The perfect accompaniment to over-the-top (OTT) streaming video, Tablo delivers live and recorded Over-The-Air (OTA) programming from an HDTV antenna to any connected device, for a crystal clear high-definition TV viewing experience.
“With approximately 10 percent of cable subscribers planning to cut the cord this year*, many are looking for a simple, cost-effective solution to supplement their Over-The-Top content from Netflix and Hulu with live television,” said Grant Hall, CEO at Nuvyyo. “Tablo gives TV lovers the DVR functionality they know with an easy-to-use interface to enjoy local programming whenever they want on whatever device they want.”
How Tablo Works
The Tablo DVR plugs into any HDTV antenna to capture free broadcast network programming including local news and sports within the United States and Canada.
