“According to one answer, you will also need internet if you want updates for your Tablo. What kind of updates? Why does the unit need to be "updated"? Is it more than program guide updates and can you tell me what kind of other updates are performed?”

There are software updates that they want to provide. They ask you for permission to update before doing so. Just agree and off it goes. The program guide is just always up to date anyway.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You need internet with the Tablo for two reasons. The programming guide is downloaded daily. You can record without the guide, but you will need a source to give you channel & time info to set recordings manually. Secondly, and most significantly, the Tablo connects to your Smart TV thru the Tablo app. There is no direct cable connection between the Tablo & your TV. You must have a home network (internet connection) for the Tablo app to work.
