It records any OTA channels we get. ALSO, we can access it from anywhere if we have sufficient internet bandwidth! I can pull it up on my laptop from 2,000 miles away and watch any recorded program, or what is airing in real time at home. AND, the icing on the cake, it can be a whole home DVR!
DW is pleased.
Only 2 downsides:
1. It has no storage memory so you have to buy a USB external HDD
and
2. It does not hook directly to your television. It goes through your home network either by WIFI or Ethernet. You have to have a media streaming device, like Chromecast, on your TV. Or, have a smart TV with built in WIFI. That is why it is a whole home DVR. Every TV with a media streaming device is connected to it.
DISCLAIMER: I have no connection with this product or company other than being an owner of one of their units.
Bobbo, sorry for going off topic. I'm sure you'll like your Tablo, we have friends that have one and they say it works great. I think you'll find you won't miss Directv at all.
