Does what it Says!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use it to put broadcast TV on wifi so TVs do not have to be hard wired to antenna. DVR capability is a plus. App takes a bit to get going but functionality is fine. If you don't want to pay cable or YouTube TV to see local and network programming, this is it!

ok in an area with strong digital signal
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Flakey at times. Takes a long time to set up. Nice enough when it works. Requires a strong digital signal and high-quality antenna (antenna from Tablo does not work well and is comparable to a $10 option). Cannot use outside of the home network. Previous Tablo devices sound more flexible and better options.

Tablo tv box
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s not all that great, it keeps going out and I have to reset the channels. The antenna is just fine and so is the tv so it has to be the tablo tv box that’s the problem.

Finally Got Tablo To Work
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the third Tablo device I’ve gotten. The first two didn’t work properly, so I sent them back. But the third time has been a charm. I added a flash drive for extra storage.

Worth the money
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the best.

Tablo is easy use with no monthly fees!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Tablo is a wonderful product! My favorite feature is “live rewind” while watching a show. Also the capacity for recording holds my weekly programs, plus baseball, football and basketball games. It’s easy to schedule a series and record new episodes only or reruns for the season. I keep some to re-watch or delete to make room for next weeks shows. Tablo will delete to make room too. I never miss episodes of The Price Is Right!

Almost there but not quite.
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'd give this a 5 star except the software or firmware is buggy. Time to time when you turn it on you get the Setup screen as if you are starting over and walks you through the installation process.

Great idea, but incomplete execution
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great idea but does not yet have all the bugs worked out. It does not play well with my Roku. I understand the manufacturer is trying to resolve the problem.

Posted .Hey Michael– It’s not quite clear what issue you are running into with Roku, but if you can reach out to Tablo support with additional information we can provide suggestions and workarounds. There are two issues that we are aware of that are on the Roku side and we are currently working with their team to get them resolved.

Works Well and Easy to Set Up
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The new Tablo was super easy to set up (in my case via Wi-Fi). Within a couple of minutes, the device found numerous OTA channels that came in perfectly. I added an external hard drive to the Tablo to record in the highest resolution possible. The program guide downloaded quickly and I set the device to record a couple of programs, which it did flawlessly. If you are thinking of cutting the cord, this is a simple, affordable way to do it. Just make sure you have a strong signal from your OTA antenna and a good Wi-Fi signal or a wired internet connection.

Love it!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far, we've loved this little thing. We were able to eliminate one of our digital antennas after installing it, since it'll send a signal to all our tv's. Picture and sound quality are just like over the air. App has worked perfectly. One time in a month the thing hung up, so I used the reset button on the bottom and we were back in business in 30 seconds.

Good inexpensive replacement for FireTV Replay
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Fails regularly just like previous generations
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this to replace a tablo four tuner unit that failed about a month ago, I wish I would have been more patient and waited for TiVo to be back in stock. I had a previous unit for years, I would regularly have to unplug it for a soft reset or unplug the hard drive so it would recognize it, I hope this 4th generation unit would be better, but I had the same problems the first day, if you take over the air station seriously I suggest you have a backup either the TV without a DVR or home run HD, because this unit will not provide stable recordings and performance. Tablo seems unwilling or unable to put out a unit that functions as advertised without several problems, numerous updates never seem to help.
