It’s not much of a secret that you can [get free TV by using an antenna][] to pull in nearby signals. But if you have an NVIDIA SHIELD, you can supercharge that experience by adding live TV to the SHIELD itself—and, for a small monthly fee, even add a full guide and DVR capabilities.

您可以[使用天线][get free TV by using an antenna]获取附近的信号来[获得免费电视，][get free TV by using an antenna]这并不是什么秘密。 但是，如果您拥有NVIDIA SHIELD，则可以通过在SHIELD本身中添加直播电视来增强这种体验，而且只需支付少量月租费用，甚至可以添加完整的指南和DVR功能。

## 你需要什么 **(**What You’ll Need**)** ##

To do this, however, you will need one additional piece of hardware (aside from the SHIELD and an HD Antenna, that is): the [Tablo Tuner][]. It’ll set you back $70, which may not make it worthwhile to some users. But if you want to add DVR and guide capabilities to your otherwise free TV experience, it’s really the best way.

为此，您将需要另外一个硬件(除了SHIELD和HD天线之外)： [Tablo Tuner][] 。 它会让您损失70美元，对于某些用户来说可能不值得。 但是，如果您想在其他免费电视体验中添加DVR和引导功能，那确实是最好的方法。

So, before you get started, here’s a list of everything you’ll need:

因此，在开始之前，这里列出了您需要的一切：

*  An NVIDIA SHIELD (obviously—either the 16GB or 500GB model will do, but if you have the 16GB version, you’ll also need [an external hard drive][] of at least 50GB)
    
    NVIDIA SHIELD(显然-16GB或500GB型号都可以，但是如果您使用16GB版本，则还需要至少50GB [的外部硬盘驱动器][an external hard drive] )
 *  An HD antenna ([here’s how to find the right one for you][get free TV by using an antenna])
    
    高清天线( [以下是为您找到合适][get free TV by using an antenna]天线[的方法][get free TV by using an antenna] )
 *  The [Tablo Tuner][] and the [Tablo Engine][] app
    
    [Tablo Tuner][]和[Tablo Engine][]应用程序
 *  A Tablo subscription ($3.99 per month or $39.99 per year). This is optional, but you’ll need it if you want the guide and DVR features.
    
    Tablo订阅(每月3.99美元或每年39.99美元)。 这是可选的，但是如果您需要指南和DVR功能，则需要它。

With that, you’re ready.

这样，您就准备好了。

## 设置Tablo Tuner和Tablo引擎 **(**Setting up the Tablo Tuner and Tablo Engine**)** ##

Before you do anything else, you’ll need to install the [Tablo Engine][] app on your SHIELD. This is the main interface that makes this whole thing work—it’ll be your guide, DVR, and all that jazz.

在执行其他任何操作之前，您需要在SHIELD上安装[Tablo Engine][]应用程序。 这是使整个过程正常工作的主要界面-它将是您的向导，DVR和所有爵士乐。

![77d27e96aef1cbc736c78b5139b7b9e9.png][]

Once installed, fire it up. You’ll connect the tuner as part of the setup process, but we’ll discuss its placement in more detail below.

安装完成后，将其启动。 在设置过程中，您将连接调谐器，但下面将详细讨论其位置。

If you’re using a 16GB SHIELD, you’ll first have to [add some additional storage][an external hard drive] before you can use Tablo’s DVR functionality—even if you never plan on using this feature, the Tablo setup process *requires* an additional hard drive or SD card of at least 50GB. The 500GB SHIELD has plenty of storage right out of the box, so you’re good to go with that.

如果您使用的是16GB SHIELD，则必须首先[添加一些额外的存储空间，][an external hard drive]然后才能使用Tablo的DVR功能-即使您从未计划使用此功能，Tablo的设置过程也*需要*一个额外的硬盘驱动器或SD卡至少50GB。 500GB的SHIELD开箱即用，有足够的存储空间，所以您最好使用它。

If you *are* using a 16GB SHIELD, go ahead and choose the “Set up USB Tuner” option. Connect your antenna to the Tablo Tuner, then plug it into the SHIELD. After you connect it, you’ll run through setting up your external drive. If you’re on a 500GB SHIELD, go ahead and plug in the antenna—this part of the setup isn’t required on your unit.

如果您使用的*是* 16GB的盾，继续前进，选择“设置USB调谐器”选项。 将天线连接到Tablo Tuner，然后将其插入SHIELD。 连接后，将贯穿设置外部驱动器。 如果您使用的是500GB的SHIELD，请继续并插入天线-您的设备不需要这部分设置。

![4420d307788902ae333182c6ce3e3438.png][]

A dialog box should appear asking if you want to use the Table Engine when this device is connected—tick the “Use by default” box and then click OK.

连接该设备时，将出现一个对话框，询问您是否要使用Table Engine —选中“默认情况下使用”框，然后单击“确定”。

![ec2fbd6dadedb7ed6e402e87c1e45b7a.png][]

In the next step, you’ll provide Tablo with the zip code of where you’ll be using the device. If you’re setting it up at home, just click the “Use Current Location” button. It will ask for the location permission. Once you’ve granted it, it’ll just take a few seconds to confirm. Click “Continue” when it’s finished.

在下一步中，您将为Tablo提供使用设备的邮政编码。 如果要在家中设置，只需单击“使用当前位置”按钮。 它将要求位置许可。 授予它后，只需几秒钟即可确认。 完成后，单击“继续”。

![f0b02e81547964f2567e5f67af500b5e.png][]

It will ask you to make sure your antenna is connected now, which you should’ve already done. Click “Continue” again.

它将要求您确保现在已连接天线，这应该已经完成。 再次单击“继续”。

![8a8bd41765b644a30aa64ffa85e37374.png][]

It will start scanning for channels, which will take a few minutes. Just chill and let it do its thing—channels will show up as they’re found. Go grab a coffee if you want. Cream and two sugars in mine, please.

它将开始扫描频道，这将需要几分钟。 放松一下，让它发挥作用-频道会在找到后立即显示。 如果需要，去喝杯咖啡。 请给我奶油和两种糖。

![c3d3562ba8f4d0a6fc63dc4abbfbffec.png][]

Depending on where you live (and how close to a big city you are), the number of channels you can get will vary. The more rural the area, the fewer channels you’ll typically get. The closer a big city, the more.

根据您的居住地(以及您离大城市的距离)，可以获取的频道数量会有所不同。 该地区越乡村，您通常获得的渠道就越少。 大城市越近，越多。

When the scan is finished, it will give you the option to continue with the current channel selection or rescan. If you think there’s more out there for you, or if you think your anntena needs adjusting, do so and then rescan.

扫描完成后，它将为您提供继续当前频道选择或重新扫描的选项。 如果您认为还有更多其他用途，或者您认为天线需要调整，请进行调整，然后重新扫描。

![acc7abcdfe23ca668bc92c9baf587706.png][]

Before you click the Continue button, however, you’ll first want to make sure you select all the channels you want to show up in the guide. All the HD channels should be selected by default, but if you’re feeling all nostalgic for some SD goodness, go ahead and select those channels too—just highlight and click them.

但是，在单击“继续”按钮之前，您首先需要确保选择要在指南中显示的所有频道。 默认情况下，应该选择所有HD频道，但是如果您对某种SD品质感到怀旧，请继续选择这些频道，只需突出显示并单击它们即可。

![cfa6f0a8003d30d2858983c0cc700ee6.png][]

Once you give that Continue button a little clicky-poo, it will download the guide. This is where things start to get fun. After the guide finishes downloading, hit the “Get Started” button.

在为“继续”按钮提供一些clicky-poo之后，它将下载该指南。 这是事情开始变得有趣的地方。 指南下载完成后，点击“开始使用”按钮。

![bac2b7cfd21b396f00af3e925b41683b.png][]

It’ll jump directly into the guide and you can start watching TV!

它会直接跳入指南，您可以开始看电视了！

## 使用Tablo引擎 **(**Using the Tablo Engine**)** ##

The Tablo Engine is pretty straightforward, and if you’ve used a TV guide before, then you pretty much already know what to do.

Tablo引擎非常简单，如果您以前使用过电视指南，那么您几乎已经知道该怎么做。

When you find something to watch, click on it. It’ll open a new menu with two options: Watch or Record Episode. You can even set a recurring recording schedule for that particular program if you’d like. If you don’t want to mess with any of that, just click on “Watch” to play the show. That’s easy.

当您找到要观看的东西时，请单击它。 它将打开一个新菜单，其中包含两个选项：“观看”或“录制剧集”。 如果需要，您甚至可以为该特定节目设置重复录制时间表。 如果您不想弄乱任何内容，只需单击“观看”即可播放节目。 这很简单。

![223a179eae676cea0d67e14c98cf5435.png][]

Like basically all other Android TV apps, the menu is off to the left. The basic functions are here: Live TV, Recording, Guide, and Scheduled. Those are all pretty self explanatory, but it’s worth mentioning that the Live TV option is what you typically think of when you hear “guide”—a grid style layout. The Guide option, on the other hand, gives you a per-show breakdown of what’s on. It’s kind of silly.

像基本上所有其他Android TV应用程序一样，菜单在左侧关闭。 基本功能在此处：直播电视，录制，指南和预定。 这些都是很容易解释的，但是值得一提的是，当您听到“指南”(网格样式布局)时，通常会想到直播电视选项。 另一方面，“指南”选项为您提供了按节目显示的详细信息。 有点傻

![9ec9ae76374298132498169d15611846.png][]

The most confusing part of the Tablo Tuner, however, is finding the Settings menu. It’s not under a setting called “Settings” at all—it’ actually the “Tablo” option at the very top. That’s the settings menu, and it’s one of the most counter-intuitive things I’ve ever seen in UX design. Fortunately, once you know where it is, this isn’t a big deal.

Tablo Tuner最令人困惑的部分是找到“设置”菜单。 它根本不在所谓的“设置”设置下—实际上是最顶端的“ Tablo”选项。 那是设置菜单，这是我在UX设计中见过的最违反直觉的东西之一。 幸运的是，一旦您知道它在哪里，就没什么大不了的了。

![5f2310854ddb03a3b2ea9909d6deccba.png][]

This is where you’ll find all of the Tablo’s options and tweaks. Here’s a quick breakdown:

在这里，您可以找到Tablo的所有选项和调整项。 快速细分：

*  **Subscription:** For $3.99 a month, you can have Tablo pull down the cover art and synopsis for everything on TV. This price also includes the DVR functionality. Without this feature, you won’t be able to get detailed info about what’s on, and you won’t be able to record anything. You will, however, still be able to watch live TV for free.
    
    **订阅：**每月只需$ 3.99，您可以让Tablo提取电视上所有内容的封面和简介。 此价格还包括DVR功能。 没有此功能，您将无法获得有关正在发生的事情的详细信息，也将无法记录任何内容。 但是，您仍然可以免费观看直播电视。
 *  **Storage:** Manage your recordings.
    
    **储存空间：**管理您的录音。
 *  **Scheduling:** Set recording settings for duplicates and live events that run past their scheduled time.
    
    **安排时间：**为超出预定时间的重复和现场事件设置记录设置。
 *  **Guide: **Update your location and channel selection, as well as the guide info for those channels.
    
    **指南：**更新您的位置和频道选择以及这些频道的指南信息。
 *  **Playback:** Toggle surround sound passthrough, if you have a capable receiver.
    
    **播放：**如果您有合适的接收器，则切换环绕声直通。
 *  **About:** Details about your tuner.
    
    **关于：**关于调谐器的详细信息。

And that’s pretty much all there is to it. It’s simple.

这几乎就是它的全部。 这很简单。

## 看电视和其他注意事项 **(**Watching TV and Other Considerations**)** ##

Watching TV with the Tablo Tuner and SHIELD is pretty much like watching TV anywhere else—just kick back on the couch (or whatever) and relax.

使用Tablo Tuner和SHIELD观看电视非常类似于在其他任何地方观看电视-只需在沙发上(或其他地方)后退并放松即可。

Of course, how good the experience is mostly depends on your antenna and where you place it. There’s a real science (and much debate) on this sort of thing, so instead of going into those details here, I’m going to point you in the direction of [our HD antenna guide][get free TV by using an antenna], which will help you choose what kind of antenna to buy (indoor or outdoor), along with where to place it.

当然，体验的好坏主要取决于您的天线和放置位置。 关于这种事情，存在着一门真正的科学(也有很多争论)，因此，在此不做详细介绍，我将为您指出[我们的高清天线指南][get free TV by using an antenna]的方向，该[指南][get free TV by using an antenna]将帮助您选择哪种天线来购买(室内或室外)以及放置位置。

Your TV signal will only be as strong as the antenna you’re using (and its placement), but there are other factors that *may* affect it—like weather. While a few storm cloud or a rain shower shouldn’t have much of a negative impact on your TV watching experience, but a heavy rain could. Or crazy stuff like tornadoes.

您的电视信号将仅与您正在使用的天线(及其放置的天线)一样强，但是还有其他因素*可能会*影响它，例如天气。 虽然少量的乌云或阵雨不会对您的电视观看体验造成很大的负面影响，但大雨却可以。 或诸如龙卷风之类的疯狂东西。

Past that, you may just want to experiment with the position of your antenna. Putting it on something like a window will nearly always yield better results than if it’s on a wall—similarly, outdoor antennas will always get stronger signals than indoor ones, especially if you’re further away from a major city.

除此之外，您可能只想尝试一下天线的位置。 将其放在像窗户的地方几乎比在墙壁上总是能得到更好的效果-同样，室外天线总是比室内天线接收到更强的信号，尤其是在离主要城市较远的地方。

--------------------

Overall, I’ve been pretty dang impressed with the Tablo Tuner and Engine on SHIELD. In fact, my wife and I used it to watch the Super Bowl, and it was basically flawless. I just stuck the antenna to our living room window, and it never missed a beat. Very cool.

总的来说，我对SHIELD上的Tablo Tuner和Engine印象深刻。 实际上，我和我的妻子都用它观看了超级碗比赛，而且基本上没有问题。 我只是将天线贴在我们客厅的窗户上，从来没有错过任何拍子。 很酷。
