Has anyone ever used a Tablo DVR or similar device with an over-the-air antenna?

Does anyone have any advice on which device to buy? Still looking for more ways to watch programming without cable. My husband watches sports, and I'd like more of PBS Create content I can't get with cable or YouTube TV. I also have Acorn TV and Britbox, and have PBS Passport, too. I understand you don't need a monthly contract with the new Tablo DVR. Thanks in advance for your help!

Set up is simple. I purchased the unit with the included antenna from Amazon for about $100. Tablo frequently has sales if you buy directly from them.

You may want to check out the videos about them on YouTube.

Hope this helped!

Been increasingly aggravated with YouTube TV. We don't watch much on it, just want it for sports and weather. Thanks again for the info!
