The Tablo 4-Tuner Digital Video Recorder for Over-The-Air HDTV is widely regarded as one of the best options out there for cord cutters who want to get their DVR features back. It works just like a DVR from a cable company, allowing you to schedule recordings or pause and rewind live TV. The difference, of course, is that it works with OTA TV and there’s no monthly fee. The Tablo can stream to any TV through a streaming device or a video game console, and it can also stream to smartphones and tablets. It’s on sale on Amazon right now for just under $200, which is the same amount the 2-tuner model usually costs.
