For television, there will be a number of sources that I will rely on. First will be the OTA? service. I will be using a 4 tuner Tablo for this resource. The Tablo will plug into the coaxial and ethernet lines offering a means of watching TV without having to sit in front of the TV. In example, I could be working on my notebook in the office while having the recorded content playing on my iPad. When ATSC-3 becomes the only option, I will have to upgrade the Tablo, but will expect that the DVR? capabilities will essentially be crippled as many stations will likely place DRM on their content.
In addition to the OTA television services, I will also have Sling. This is an IPTV? service provider giving me some cable channels for a $50 monthly fee. While not perfect, the service will work well enough. The only thing I will need is the app on the TV or smartTV adapter. In an ideal situation, it would be Apple TV with a basic 85″ television. In addition to Sling, I will also have access to Disney, HBO, Hulu, and Netflix. This will give me all of the content I could want, and allow me access to everything – again with an app on the smartTV adapter which will be the Apple TV box.
