Finished the setup of my Tablo OTA dvr/reciever. Super easy; took about half an hour including antenna placement,

firmware update, and channel scan. I had to click “retry” a few times before it fired up. Scanned in more than 170 channels with all of the major on air networks. Great picture.

I have yet to try all of its features like Rec., FF etc.

Gonna save us more than $900. annually after I cancel YouTube TV!

1. Is there a monthly fee?

Or is the equipment the only cost?

3. No subscription, no fees.

2. I just don't get good OTA antenna reception and I'm not putting a rooftop antenna up, but

boy do I want to do what you did. I am discontinuing YouTUBE TV at the end of January, regardless. I just want to keep it through the College Football Playoffs...

I do feel uneasy not being able to get real-time local news channels, though. I think with a crappy antenna I've been able to get a CBS channel and maybe ABC, but not very clear. Terrain issues, I guess...

4. I installed the flat antenna that came with the unit. It's app identifies the transmission towers and where you should

locate the antenna for optimal reception.

5. I'm jealous.

I live in what is basically a small, hilly canyon. No kind of antenna is going to pick up any signal where I live.

Nextdoor neighbor's son is quite the IT nerd.
I can't tell you how many different antennas he tried. Put one up, took it down, returned it to the store and got another one. Rinsed and repeated so many times, and finally gave up.

I just cut the cord with DirecTV, so now I'm not getting anything. Time to read all the books I've bought over the years.
