A: This device uses internal storage.

Q: How many hours can I record with this DVR?

Q: What is the maximum video resolution supported by this device?

A: The maximum video resolution supported is 1080i.

Q: Can I expand the storage capacity of this DVR?

A: Yes, you can expand the storage capacity up to 8TB using a USB hard drive.

Q: I see where the Power Supply goes, The Ethernet Cable goes, Where the USB-A port for an externa hard drive goes, the Antenna In goes. But where does the HDMI plug-in at? It does not show a HDMI Input port on any of the pictures I've seen on a Dual or Quad

A: There is not a HDMI port, this is a streaming only device and you need to put the Tablo app on all your devices and TV's. You need an Android device or Roku on all your TV's with the Tablo app.

Q: We heavily use our fire tv for live/streaming with our 1 tv ant connection, would I have to disc it and plug it only into the Tablo tv box as well as the only ethernet cord as well? Would this essentially just use the fire-tv as a monitor only by app?

A: not sure I understand your question completely but if you have a TV that is Fire OS, and you have a cable that runs from an antenna to your Fire TV then I think the answer is yes, your Fire TV will display over the air broadcasts via the Tablo. If you are already watching broadcast TV on your Fire TV then you'll connect the antenna cable that comes from your Antenna into the Tablo. You'll need to add the Tablo Tv (Gen 4) app to your Fire TV. Then run setup via an Android or Apple phone. Once that's done you'll be able to watch TV via your Tablo. The added benefit is that you'll be able to record TV shows and watch at your convenience. Also, other TVs in your house will be able to watch and record TV shows from that same Tablo. That's nice. I have the currently available 2 tuner tablo. It works great, we can watch shows (live or recorded) on any of our 3 TVs and 4 handheld devices. It works for me.
