The wait is finally over! Tablo, the reigning champion of free, over-the-air (OTA) broadcast channel viewing, has finally arrived on Apple TV. This means Apple TV users can now enjoy the best of both worlds: the convenience and features of Apple TV paired with the freedom of watching free local channels.
For those unfamiliar, Tablo is a revolutionary device that allows you to access and record broadcast channels without relying on cable or streaming subscriptions. It’s been available for about a year, seamlessly integrating with platforms like Roku and Amazon Fire TV. Simply connect an antenna to your Tablo, launch the app, and enjoy a world of free TV, including the option to record your favorite shows for later viewing.
With the Tablo app on Apple TV, you can now enjoy these features on your favorite streaming device. This new addition solidifies Tablo’s position as the leading option for those seeking free, high-quality OTA television. It’s the perfect solution for cord-cutters and anyone looking to expand their viewing options without breaking the bank.
The fourth-generation Tablo offers a truly exceptional experience. It boasts a sleek design, a user-friendly interface, and the ability to expand storage by plugging in an external hard drive. Best of all, Tablo operates without any additional subscriptions, making it a truly cost-effective choice.
While the new Apple TV compatibility is exciting news, it’s worth noting that Tablo doesn’t yet support ATSC 3.0, also known as NextGen TV. This technology offers higher resolution and interactive features, but it’s still in its early stages of adoption. It remains to be seen when, or even if, Tablo will incorporate ATSC 3.0 support.
Regardless, this is a significant development for Apple TV owners who want to cut the cord and enjoy their local channels for free. With Tablo now on Apple TV, free over-the-air television has never been more accessible or convenient.
