4th Generation Tablo relies on the TV Guide Data it downloads each night to schedule recordings. This grants 14 days of guide data at no additional cost.

Two types of recordings can be set on 4th Generation Tablo DVRs: one-time and series recordings. Both types of recordings have advanced recording options to fine-tune your scheduling.
