It has potential but not consumer ready
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great for half the channels, the other half work better if my antennae is connected directly to my TV. There's also quite a few software glitches. Might try buying the next generation model if the reviews are better because it has a lot of great features.

Great device
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We recently got rid of cable and realized we only basically had a computer monitor as a TV. This device has allowed us to watch our basic channels, plus more and have a cheaper option than buying a new TV. I like that it’s a one time purchase that gives many channels, but also gives a reasonable option if you want to subscribe and purchase more channels.

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.

Didn't last very long
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Gave up the ghost after 14 months--just past warranty. Throughout the year that we had it, I frequently had to troubleshoot issues. It stopped working altogether on one of our T.V.s. To replace it, I bought a refurbished unit off Amazon for $70; there just aren't a lot of reasonably priced OTA devices. If the refurbished unit lasts a year, I'll consider it the price of cord-cutting, eh? Seems like less trouble than running the coaxial cable from my antenna to my two T.V.s, but I might consider doing just exactly that in the future.

Tablo works well
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Tablo has been a great way to watch shows at a more convenient time. It allows us to record many shows when we are not home. It helps with live tv and we can pause, rewind or fast forward. We can use the device on two tvs at a time. It is very easy to set up and use.

A Great Solution for Cable Cutters
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Distributing over the air signals has always been a pain. Those of us old enough remember the mass of splitters and switches needed to get signal to our tv's and VCR's in every room. The Tablo distributes your digital antenna signal to every TV in your household wirelessly with a picture that is as perfect as your digital antenna provides (it does come with a signal booster that can improve your reception). The menu is convenient and attractive and it breaks down movies, series, sports, and news shows that are available. The VCR is also a big convenience. The Tablo solves a lot of problems for anyone wanting to cut the cable.

DOES NOT WORK WITH APPLE TV AND BUGGY WITH IOS
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So, was recommended this product by a friend who has an older model. Got it setup in my house. Realized it does NOT work with Apple TV, ither through the old application or casting. Tried to login on another device. Would not take the password that I put into it. Tried the Tablo TV web site to login, it says I do not have an account. Tried to start another account with same email but says I have an account. Could not login or change password. No clear way to reset a password on web site or in application. While using the IOS application the guide kept dropping even though it had a channel listing. This has a two-star review since the box states watch on "any device" along with the apple symbol for compatible devices which is hugely misleading. Good luck if you buy this.

Its Just OK
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Posted .Sorry your ran into that issue Eric.
It's possible that the cause is a weak TV signal.
Your TV likely has a signal tuner, where your Tablo has at least two. Tuners are great in that they allow you to play/record multiple channels at once, however, they also split your signal. A more powerful TV antenna may be just thetrick to get your Tablo working.
The other option, if you live very near to your broadcast towers, is that the Tablo's built in TV amplifier is making your signal too strong. In this case, if you go settings you can switch it off and that may resolve the issue.
Beyond these suggestions, consider reaching out to our technical support team, they should be able to help.

tablo is awesome. only 4 tuner could make it bette
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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

Sharing antenna signal via Tablo and Roku sticks
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Tablo allows us to send our antenna signal to all the TV's in the house. It works better to access the Tablo signal on a Roku stick attached to each TV, rather than accessing directly through a smart TV.

Tablo is awesome!!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Tablo was so easy to install! Just downloaded the app and was watching tv from my antenna in no time. I only wish I had got this product earlier. Now I don’t have to connect my bedroom tv to a coaxial, and the channels don’t come in and out anymore. I love the ease of using the app. Best purchase I’ve made in a while.
