    After a week of no problems Tablo started to crash while watching live tv. I would restart Tablo and would crash again about 20 minutes later. Would make sure both Tablo and Roku software was updated. Still had problems and call Tablo support. After following their suggestions Tablo worked for about an hour and then crashed again while watching live tv screen. Will be returning Tablo for money back. If it had worked as advertised this would have solved my indoor antenna reception problems.

    I have a tablo 4 tuner that I've had for a while, and I can't say anything but good about tablo. way better than tivo. this is the new model that i picked up for my mom and dad which requires no subscription for recording. plus comes with some built in storage, but you'll still need an external drive for a lot. which this one had 4 tuners, but can't beat the price. you run an antenna to one location in your house, and connect to your tablo and bing, just use the app on all your devices to stream tv. awesome

    This product works as advertised and we have had good experiences with viewing and recording the shows we like. Setup was a little tricky but once I figured out that I needed to turn off VPN to make connection to the device it went smoothly. I do feel the response times to inputs from the remote are a little slow and if you are viewing a show real-time the ability to see where you are in the show is not visual, you just need to guess as all you see is a timeline. But overall it does what I need it to do and have been happy with purchase.

    Helps remove antenna cables from the living room. Sometimes it has trouble with signal even though it is in the “good” range. Overall good though.

    Didn't work on 3 different smart tv's. A 2012 Samsung 6500 TV and 2022/2023 Sony X85K and X90A Bravia. Keeping it connected to wifi was another issue. Their Support replied with a link to the manufacturer side of which I had already visited. I also visited other sites and learned all Sony tv owners had issues with Tablo and this been going on a long time. Bottom line: You will have better results, no app to deal with or time wasted for sure as I did with a $19 HD antenna I found on Amazon.

    This was a great purchase. Easy to set up. I cut the cord on cable. Now I have three streaming services for less than $20 a month. Love the pause live TV feature. Comes with a number of free channels.

    I was skeptical but this thing is solid. Just being able to get the full directory of antenna TV and control it through the Roku app is worth it. Recording also works well. No complaints. Well worth it.

    Well the first thing is that it only goes back to 2019 my smart TV was purchased 2018. so, it doesn't work with my TV luckily I have a new TV in my bedroom not exactly where I'd like to spend 80 bucks. I haven't plugged it in there yet so I don't even know if it works on that TV. Not a happy camper.

    Tablo Gen 4 is a great device for OTA streaming!

    The Table Gen 4 Is certainly a step forward in the OTA streaming players, replacing my now discontinued Recast device. The Tablo setup was relatively easy and connected to WiFi quickly although I found the best results with an Ethernet cable connection. Wifi was a little clippy on my Tablo tablet app. I saw an increase from 17 to 40 channels locally. The new schedule program is fairly robust but more detail in the shows to be recorded listing would be a plus. All in all, a great purchase for those wishing to shed cable TV.
