Customer Ratings & Reviews

I purchased this for use with an Insignia FireTV, replacing a FireTV Replay. As expected, it doesn't integrate as seamlessly with the FireTV as the Replay does, but the Tablo app was easy enough to use once we got used to it. The channel scan found quite a few more channels than the Replay using the same antenna, and the reception seems to be better--I don't get the drop-out that was pretty common when using the Replay as a tuner. I've recorded and played back a couple NFL games without a hitch, so I'm happy with this purchase. It's not completely perfect; the initial setup was a little glitchy, and the app crashes now and then when I try to open it for the first time, but it's nothing I can't live with. I haven't tried adding additional storage or using the included free streaming channels yet.

Much better than an older (different brand) that I had. Skipping commercials is a breeze. Only thing I don’t like is that it’s not compatible with my new LG OLED tv, so I have to use a fire stick to stream

Not very stable. Won't connect half the time both to my Roku Ultra or my Samsung TV. Fails often when trying to watch a show while its recording. When it works, its ok... just ok.

The setup is fairly easy. And I enjoy using it, now I only have to have one antenna for my 4 TVs. I do have to say it works well with Roku, but using throught AppleTV you get more features, like looking through channels and still being able to watch the channel you're on.

Purchased this so I could use an antenna to get OTA channels that my streaming provide would not offer. This makes it so I can use one antenna for all my devices through a convenient app. If you are looking to cut our cable I would recommend

I wish it supported PC and remote viewing. Also I spend hours trying to get all my local channels repositioning my antenna just to realize I got them all if I connect directly to TV instead. I stopped using it months ago and just watch local channels on one dedicated TV. Its a shame that the Tablo filter is more restrictive or there is some interference with the power/data cables.

Good....get local stations finally on all my tvs!!

Had a Sling Air first generation that was showing its age. I also got tired of scrolling through Sling screens to see recorded videos. The only thing keeping this from five stars is lack of ATSC 3.0 support and it sometimes takes the Home Screen a bit of time to load

I had some really high hopes for this device, and honestly I can't say there was anything wrong with it...it just does not support my Samsung TV, which runs Tizen OS and not Android (which is what I thought it ran). Easy to setup (and take down once you realize it doesn't work with your tv...).

Locals stations plus free streaming channels with DVR. Pays for itself over time cord cutters.

Although the devise was simple to set up, it was not very reliable. Using the DVR function would often lead to partial recordings. After a couple of weeks, the device could no longer be found by the smart tv nor the app on iphone. Going to reset and try again but frustrated that I need to do that.

Have to reset after about a month, works ok sometimes freezes

This device offers a number of great features. Easy setup, free programming guide, strong tuner signal, onboard storage for recordings, option to add external storage via usb, local over the air channels are combined with a lot more of online digital streaming channels. There are two things I didn’t like about it, not being able to export the recordings or stream outside the home network. Although I didn’t like these restrictions, I was still pleased with the Tablo. I ended up returning it because the app would lose communication with the device at least twice a week, requiring to reboot it. Sometimes killing the app would worm, other times I had to walk over to the device and physically reboot it since there’s no way to do it through the app. I really wanted to keep it. But, I grew frustrated with the constant disconnect between the app and the device. I hope they get this issue fixed with future upgrades.

This device is exactly what we needed. While we are fairly close to broadcast antennas, we needed to place our TV antennas near a window because of the thick brick exterior of our building. TVs were not in the right spot for this however, and running coax wasn’t practical. Built-in DVR is a plus!

Works as advertised, setup was glitchy and took a factory reset 2x before it would work right. NO PC JUST ANDROID

It works as they say but app requires some patience sometimes. But its free so can’t complaint I guess.

So far so good, if only I could get the app to work.

I returned it because it requires a hard wire to my wifi, which is in my home office and a hard wire to my antenna, which is in my recreation room. All I want is a recorder of broadcast TV that connects to my upstairs TV and my antenna, both of which are in my recreation room.

After initial set up, it was easy to use. We scanned for channels, and it found over 172 channels. It took a bit for us to navigate, but now we understand

This is the BEST little device ever! Love it!! So many channels offered and am able to record shows, movies, etc. No need for high cable bills again! Thank you, Tablo!!!
