    Started off pretty bad, many outages. Customer service is terrible. The outages have decreased over the last few months.

    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

    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

    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 is the best. I bought this to be able to record ota channels since I dropped my cable tv. It work great I started with wifi later switched to a cable directly into the router for faster loading.

    Love it! Buy it once and no need for a subscription! The Gen 4 tuner works great with our Rokus. Unfortunately, our "new" Samsung TV is now old. The Tablo App that supports the 4th gen tuner requires a Samsung to be 2019 or newer. Well, that is why we had the extra Roku.

    Setup is far from “plug and play”. App is not intuitive, and seems to conflict with other apps on Samsung smart TV.

    Its a great over the air DVR. We finally cut the cord with Dish Network, and i wanted something to record my shows over the air. It works great! My only complaint is that i wished there was a way to recover an accidentally deleted show. But other than that, i like it. I would recommend the Tablo.

    Very happy with the Tablo 4th gen 2 tuner DVR! Setup was very easy and went quicker than I expected even firmware update and channel scan. Connected to smart tv with Wi-Fi and it is working very well. The free guide is great and scheduling recordings is easy and user friendly. I especially like that I can choose to only record new episodes.

    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

    Setup was easy and efficient. Put the Tablo and antenna in attic to get better reception which enabled me to get 100+ channels (really just wanted ABC,CBS, NBC & Fox). I am streaming signal to Roku TVs in house and it works great. Switching channels is a little slow, but tolerable. It would be great if there was previous channel on Roku app, but there is not at this time.
