“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?”

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.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I split antenna with one to Tablo and one to TV. Tablo works on WiFi too.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.There is a Tablo app on the FireTV device. You just use that like any other app, the Tablo does not connect to the TV directly. You can setup the Tablo on wifi or ethernet.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Ok, the answer is yes, and no... For the antenna connection, you can purchase a splitter that will let you connect both your TV and the Tablo to the antenna connection. As for the ethernet, this device does have Wi-Fi as well, so you could connect that way. There are also Ethernet switches that let you connect more than one device to the cable if there is only one. You still want to use the app to view DVR content as well as stream via the Tablo.
