    Good Product if you have or use an antenna to watch any TV. So far I am enjoying using it to watch live TV and record upcoming shows.

    This small, smart unit is perfect! Pay once and get TV forever, with DVR functionality and up-to-date, subscription free channel guide and schedule. A little known fact, digital antenna HD TV is better quality than what you can get via TV streaming services such as YouTubeTV and Xfinity. This is particularly useful for watching the Super Bowl with higher definition and picture quality.

    Setup was quick and painless using Apple TV app and wired ethernet connection. OTA antenna was an Antennas Direct Clear Stream. We live 25 miles from Seattle and it connected with a total of over 150 OTA and internet stations. Highly recommended.

    Purchased this so I could use an antenna to get OTA channels that my streaming provide would not offer. This makes it so I can use one antenna for all my devices through a convenient app. If you are looking to cut our cable I would recommend

    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.

    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.

    Have been a Tablo user for years. New generation offers free menu. Using this device allows you to leverage over the air recording, commercial skipping (fast forwarding through) and loosing the cable subscription. (does require internet). Much less expensive than competing TIVO.

    So far this is working great. I am very pleased with it. I searched for a simple recording device for a while. This is it. Don’t need a lot of bells and whistles. We have an antenna and streaming wifi. So it is perfect.

    As long as you have the ability to receive channels OTA, this product is great. Yes, it’s another app you have to access on your smart TV but for me it works near flawlessly. Interface is great and picture quality is amazing. For context I am using an antenna externally mounted near my roofline and the Tablo is connected via Ethernet.

    It's a great way to beat cable and streaming for locals. It unfortunately didn't work for me, I couldn't reach the towers from the valley I'm living in.

    This device works quite well considering I have a forest in my backyard. I receive 30 over the air channels in stable fashion. Roku and Tablo are connected to my router with high quality cables. The flat antenna is mounted outdoors between the window glass and screen. I used fishing line to fasten the top of the antenna to the screen. I protected the 5mm antenna cable with bicycle inner tube to allow for window closure over the top of it!

    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.

    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!

    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.
