Streaming is the undisputed future of video. Full stop. But there still is a place for old-fashioned, over-the-air (OTA) video. That is, free TV. Yes, it’s ancient. (There’s a good chance if you’re younger than 50 that you’ve never actually seen it in action.) Yes, it requires just a little work to get going. Yes, it has far fewer channels than the live-streaming services.
But over-the-air television has one major advantage for the foreseeable future: It is, and will remain, free.
Tablo is one of the major manufacturers of OTA (again, that’s over-the-air) tuners and DVRs. And it’s combined the two with its fourth-generation device. Is it worth messing with in the first place? Or worth getting it rather than the competition?
