    Works better than my expectations. Sends a great HD signal to all 6 TV's in my home. I love having the ability to record OTA shows as well as those provided on the over 70 streaming apps.

    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.

    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.

    The Tablo replaces a FireTV Recast that is no longer supported. The Tablo is better in so many ways. Everything from the setup to the guide and ease of use. Fast forwarding through commercials of recorded shows is WAY better. Very happy with the purchase.

    Local channels are not close enough. Austin is about 1 hr and Waco too. Local for me is Killeen or Harker heights. It was easy to set up though and looks modern.

    Saving money immediately with subscription-free live TV. I can watch my teams play live in HD or record them to watch later, and I can watch all my regular shows. I've even found a few new ones through the additional available channels. Having a single antenna and device that allows me to watch on any screen in my home is big with a house full of kids. Set-up was straightforward and only took a few minutes.

    Item defected . No power when plug in. Night another from Amazon which works immediately. Not eligible to return after purchase 19 days. Even though on line chat service agent gave me case number to promise successfully return on store, but store supervusor still have me trouble, I need to proove chat services agents promise to get return. If I know the store will be so troubled me, I won't drove and pay Parking fee , I would use credit cards return protection to get refunded. Most of important lesson I learned, is NO MORE buying from Best Buy.

    This new unit is limited in features. My friend has a couple of the older model unit. His lets him watch outside his home. The old model let you skip commercials. The old model works on apps on Samsung TV. The new modle they did away with all these great features. I really hope they rethink their decision to destroy a great product not sure if they are trying to go out of business

    So much better than the first models that I threw out years ago and went to Firetv recast. The recast guide and search function really are poor as is the reception. Using this unit on the same antenna better reception, great guide as well as record, pause and playback. This seems to be a winner!

    This device is just fantastic, and at a great price. Setup was a breeze, it even told me where to position it for best reception. And since it works over WiFi I didn’t have to position it near my TV or router. Plus I get many more channels now, even though I’m using the same antenna. The app works beautifully both on my iPad and Apple TV 4K. Needless to say I’m extremely happy with this purchase.

    I'm a long time tablo user. Had a Tablo 3rd generation for years and its worked flawlessly for me. But until recently I couldn't recommend the 4th gen. When it released at $99 it didn't work very well. But now, once you install the latest firmware it works great. The new 14 day program guide works well and the new streaming channels are a great addition. You can record shows off the streaming or antenna channels. I wish id waited and got it for $79. But its a cord cutters dream.

    If I want to watch TV on my phone, GREAT! On my iPad? Sure. If I want to watch TV on an LG TV or through an Apple TV box attached to the LG... nope. Stream from the iPhone to the Apple TV? Not really. Apps purport to be available, but lack functionality.
