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.
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.
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.
