Xbox One owners can finally get a bit of DVR action on their console, all thanks to a new app from Tablo. With the new Tablo app for Xbox One, anyone who uses the company's network-connected set-top box can now watch and record their favorite over-the-air TV shows right on their console.
With the Tablo app, you'll get access to a live guide for your OTA TV that should look familiar to anyone who has used a traditional cable set-top box. Further, you can pause and rewind live TV in the app, and set up recordings either on the fly or on a schedule. Here's a look at all of the features that Tablo offers:
- Playback of Live TV with pause and rewind capabilities
- Playback of recordings with pause, rewind and preview-enabled fast forward commercial skipping
- One-click scheduling for recordings including all NEW episodes or ALL episodes in a series or just a single show
- Grid-style Live TV guide to see programs airing right now, or later today
- Netflix-style TV guides so you can browse TV shows, Movies and Sports airing over the next two weeks
If you're a cord cutter, the Tablo app might look quite enticing. Just be aware that in order for the app to work, you must already have a Tablo OTA DVR — which starts at $220 for the entry-level model. On top of that, unlocking all of the app's guide features requires a subscription.
In any case, if you're interested in Tablo's Xbox One app, it's available for download now. The app is also available for Windows 10 PCs at the Windows Store.
