Recording functionality is enabled by downloading the Tablo Engine app and connecting the new Tablo Tuner USB adapter ($70) or a full-size Tablo tuner to a TV antenna and the Android TV-based Nvidia Shield streaming device.
Unlike Tablo’s network-connected DVRs, which stream live and recorded HDTV content to multiple devices, the adapter/app combo is designed for cord cutters who want to watch content on a television connected to the Nvidia Shield via HDMI.
