Cord cutters are typically thrilled with ditching those monthly cable bills, but still miss the god-like video powers provided by a DVR. The Tablo DVR fills the gap, allowing users to record up to two channels at a time while watching a third. It also borrows a page from Slingbox, letting owners access recorded content anywhere there’s an internet connection. Unfortunately, there’s a $5 monthly fee for getting access to the Tablo’s TV guide and you’ll have to attach an external hard drive and antenna to get everything working. Still, it’s a far better solution than no DVR at all. $220
