    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    The Tablo worked fine when we first got it. We went on vacation and when we tried to program it again the Tablo kept showing it couldn't find the internet, all our other devices were not having a problem. The other thing that we did not like was that it would not record a series, you had to program it ever day or week depending on the frequency the show. I will be returning it.

    Recently cut cable television and saw this as an alternative. Installed a roof antenna for the best reception. Setup was a breeze as it walks you through. Well over 100 channels scanned plus extras that comes with TabloTV provide plenty for viewing. Using Firestick for most of our TVs. Just waiting for Apple TV app to provide OTA TV for all our televisions. Good product.

    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

    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.

    Needs improvement with dvr function you cannot add a recording when you are outside the home network your recording cannot downloaded to your phone in order to view them later on when you have time. I have a hd homerun device running with plex and I can stream my shows anywhere add a recording from outside the home network, download my recordings to my device to view them anywhere I go.
