    Tablo-4th gen, 2-Tuner

    I am very happy with my purchase so far. Directions were easy. I downloaded the app to my iPhone. In my home office I plugged the Tablo in. I put antenna in office window. Hung Tablo on the office wall. With provided Ethernet cable I connected to the Router. Followed the directions to find channels from antenna and done. Went to the correct Tablo app on my Ruku and started recording my shows I wanted to record while I am at work. I get all the channels I get from the antenna before getting Tablo. I knew I only could get 9 channels because I live in a very wooded and mountainous area and I got all 9 of them. I am happy that I get that many, for where I am. The stations are clear and the recording look great to me. So far, so good. I was nervous, with some of the negative reviews, but I am so glad I took the chance and bought this and I hope it works for a very long time.

    Tablo 4th Gen great Tech / good value.

    Nice somple interface. Easy setup. Connect antenna, plug into the router. Plug in. Follow basic detup, upgrade firmware, scan for channels, disable unwanted ( multiple copies of shopping channels), download first 24 hours of guide, then you are up and running. Understand default recording options. One option is to auto delete recordings after you warch them. Recording quality and streaming quality is very good. This is new tech for tablo. I already had firmware upgrades and software upgrades in the first 10 days. Streaming has improved. Works great on ROKU and Samsung phone. Still waiting for an upgrade on SONY Google tv version. No fees for use of the guide.

    Exceeds expectations

    Having tried several items in the past that promised "free" OTA channels, I was skeptical. But this thing actually delivers. No recurring fees, no hassle. Setup took less than 15 minutes and the guide is simple and intuitive. Enjoying almost 100 channels for free, and the DVR is a great added bonus!

    Local Channels + DVR with no cost

    This device once on your network supply's all your smart TVs with a very nice guide of available channels and access to the DVR. We now just pay 20 dollars for FanDuel to get our sports and have no other costs associated with TV and we get over 100 channels with an amplified HD tv antenna. I did add a spare hard drive via USB to add to the DVR storage now can record over 500 hours of TV.
