    they are quite new, but has anyone any information on them? would love to get rid of cable without spending more for just the same thing.

    If you have a decent HDTV antenna....you can scan for available channels. Or, use the website to find what's available in your neighborhood.

    thank you. unable to use an antenna in my location, either inside or outdoors, so forced into cable so the wife can watch local channels. if it was up to me the tv would have been history a long time ago. thank you again for the reply! maybe someday...

    Why can't you use an antenna inside? We have one for each set and pick up most all the available channels. There are small antennas that plug directly into the back of a HDTV. Low profile.

    I went to the site and it says this
    If you can't use an antenna, then a Tablo would be useless to you.

    Where we live, when I checked the site for over the air channels, we'd pick up exactly three. I'm not even sure how well they'd come in.

    I never say a word about the large cable tv bill and my husband never says a word about the large cable internet bill. :cool: We each prefer different things. He watches news on tv almost constantly and I'm on the computer almost constantly.

    Sounds like a throw back to an old VCR.

    Yup, it is a digital video recorder that records any digital over the air channels received through an antenna.
