Many consumers are choosing to discontinue cable or satellite due to escalating costs, a movement known as cord cutting.[5] Cord cutters are beginning to supplement over-the-top content such as Hulu Plus and Netflix, with OTA programming.[6] Tablo is one of many products that have come to market with this in mind.[7][8][9]

Tablo is designed and developed by a company called Nuvyyo. Nuvyyo is an Kanata, Ontario based technology company, formed by veterans of the local technology scene, which launched in 2010.[10]

Some of Tablo's competitors are: Simple TV, Channel Master, HDHomeRun and TiVo.

In 2022, the company was purchased by E. W. Scripps, a television broadcasting conglomerate, for $14 million USD.[11]
