Hi, I am just wondering if it is possible to record a tv show (from cable box) via tablet. The reason I am asking is because I want to be able to watch the recorded movie or show on my tablet whether it is a long car ride or plane ride. Does anyone know a way this could be possible?

Thanks :) .

Unless the tablet has some sort of input, it's unlikely. Record the TV show using an HTPC with a TV Tuner card installed. Then encode the recording into a format the tablet is capable of playing. That done, transfer the recording to the tablet.

I don't have a TV Tuner card. My tablet does have hdmi mini input though. I also have a hdmi mini to hdmi cable because I connect it to my tv all the time. The tablet I have is the nvidia shield tablet.

Specs for that tablet only show a Mini-HDMI output. Not an input. You can output to the TV, not the other way around; at least, not without some sort of input device.
