Nuvyyo is complementing its line of over-the-air/DVR hardware with a new, software-based offering that will initially target the Nvidia Shield and eventually reach other Android TV devices.

That new app, the Tablo Engine, turns the Shield into a cord-cutting device when paired with a new, USB-connected Tablo Tuner, which integrates two tuners and allows users to capture free over-the-air signals from local broadcast stations. Using the Tablo Engine, recordings are saved to Nvidia Shield’s internal storage in MPEG-2 format.

The Tablo Engine app is free on Google Play, and includes a free, 30-day trial of the platform’s guide data subscription, which Nuvyyo is selling for $3.99 per month or $39.99 per year. Nuvyyo’s approach with the Tablo Engine is new in that it provides an option to consumers who prefer an “HDMI-connected OTA DVR experience,” the company said. By comparison, its recently launched Tablo Dual OTA DVR integrates two tuners and 64 Gigabytes of on-board DVR storage, and shuttles broadcast TV signals wirelessly to other devices on the home network, rather than connecting via an HDMI cable.

The Tablo Engine and tuner also provide a new way for consumers to use the company’s cord-cutting platform without having to purchase separate Tablo OTA DVR hardware.

Nuvyyo’s latest batch of products expand others that are tailored for cord-cutters, such as the TiVo Roamio OTA, Dish Network AirTV Player and Adapter, and Channel Master DVR+, which does not require a subscription for guide data.

Boston -- Though no formal deal is yet in place, Comcast is demonstrating its Xfinity TV app running on the Nvidia Shield, a 4K-capable gaming console that runs the Android TV platform.

Here at INTX, Comcast is also showing its streaming TV app running on a Roku 4 as well as a Samsung smart TV, which allows for partners to offer a customized experience and the ability to search across multiple apps and tell viewers if a given program is offered by Comcast through its app, a programmer’s TV Everywhere app,  an SVOD service like Netflix or Hulu, or for purchase or rental from sources such as Amazon.

Samsung is the first announced TV maker to join the Xfinity TV Partner Program, an initiative launched last month that has emerged as the FCC looks to create new rules aimed at “unlocking” the set-top box. Comcast has also announced a deal with Roku that will bring its authenticated Xfinity TV partner app to Roku streaming players and integrated TVs.

Last month, Comcast Cable president and CEO Neil Smit said more than 40 companies had called the MSO to sign up for the program since it was introduced.

Though Comcast’s work on the Nvidia Shield was for demo purposes only, it does offer an example of the scope of platforms that could support the Xfinity TV app, an in-home app that uses the MSO’s managed IP network and isn’t delivered “over-the-top” via a public Internet connection.

Nvidia launched the Shield in mid-2015, offering an Android TV-based platform for gaming and apps such as HBO Go and WatchESPN.

Providing Nvidia with a fresh sales distribution point for its Android TV-powered Shield gaming and video streaming platform, Google Fiber has begun to offer the product as an “accessory” to all current and new customers at its local retail and demo outlets (called Google Fiber Spaces) in Provo, Utah; Kansas City; and Austin, Texas.

Google Fiber, which offers a mix of 1-Gig broadband and pay TV services, also has buildout efforts underway in San Antonio; Salt Lake City; Nashville, Tenn.; Atlanta; Charlotte; and Raleigh-Durham. It’s also exploring expansions in Irvine, San Jose, and San Diego, Calif., Louisville, Ky.; Phoenix; and Portland.

The Google Fiber connection was one of several Shield-facing announcements from Nvidia, which launched the high-end console in late May, offering the base model for $199.99 (the remote is sold separately for $49.99). The device supports 4K streaming from sources such as Netflix, as well as apps and OTT services spanning Sling TV, Crackle, Showtime, Hulu, Epix, and  Pluto TV, among others. A Live Channels app lets users watch live TV via a built-in tuner, when paired to a digital OTA antenna.

Support for NFL Sunday Ticket Pac 12 Football will be “coming soon,” Nvidia said.

Nvidia also launched a $7.99 per month game streaming service called GeoForce NOW, and launched the Shield and Shield Pro in the U.K., France, Germany, Norway, Denmark, Finland and Sweden.
