Most tablets can support an external drive. SOME external drives can support external (Wal-Wart) power in addition to what comes in via USB. OR you can use a device that lets you play them on your TV.
I have two DVR's networked so I can record OTA when I have a good signal often more than I can watch (2 shows or even 3 at one time though the 3rd recorder is a bit... Rough) and play 'em back when I have no signal.. Like now.
But Back to the external drive. I have a pair of half terabyte and you can get terabyte drives for basically dirt now. that's like 1,000 hours of storage. at 1 gig per hour. Some encoders do even better than that.
