Tablo 4th Gen - Great for cordcutters

My Tablo review.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Tablo is cool and a nice option when you don't have an HD antenna connection near your TV but if you have Wifi/Ethernet this fits the bill. My only issue is if you have 2 or more TVs in the house and one is on OTA and the other is using the network, they will be out of sync (delayed) slightly. Nice to have the option to record.

Good for DVR when it works.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Setup was interesting as I had to install twice. Then 2 days later had to reset the Tablo. Seems to work most of the time. I have to reboot it every other day that I use it. I am using the Tablo app thru the Firestick on my Samsung TV. My internet is Wi-Fi with 1GB Specturm router approximately 10' from the Tablo. I don't use it a lot because I have over 100 channels that are part of Samsung, plus the Firestick is thru a company that has other channels also. I am able to control the Tablo with the Samsung and Firestick remotes.

Pretty good tuner and DVR for ATSC 1 Programs
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.if unit loses power you will have to Re-pair it with your cell phone only since unit works through Wi-Fi in your home quality is not quite as good as going direct from an HDMI source but very acceptable, even though Tablo say this unit can be set to record shows with the built in DVR system and 128 gigs of memory for Programs in the future, when I tried it it missed a couple shows I had preprogrammed this could have been due to the power failure loss during a local weather related storm that cut power to my home

Tablo TV
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Tablo was a little difficult at first setting up (I think it was me). After I fully realized my mistake I hooked up thee televisions easily. We are now able to record and have recorded several programs. I have already received several updates from Tablo. Which shows they will continue to update and monitor their products. I would highly recommend this product.

Not worth price
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We purchased this so we could stream local channels via antenna to our Amazon Fire sticks, since we can not get local via streaming. It was easy to hook up, but never recognized many channels. Then it kept disconnecting from the anntenna. Finally after about 6 months it disconnected from the antenna and would no longer connect. Tech support was no help. We ended running wire to every tv and boom we get so many more channels same antenna than we ever got with the Tablo.

NOT COMPATIBLE WITH ALL TV BRANDS!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this to connect the antenna in the attic to my TV's without running cable through out the house. Setup and connecting to Wi-Fi was easy. Price was reasonable. Not Compatible With All TV Brands. Do research before purchasing. I'm currently looking for a product to replace this.

Much better in most ways than the last generation
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I can watch all my antenna TV shows on all the TVs in my home and this one is not suffering all the same overheating issues as the last generation models. The interface is nicer looking. It also does not have a subscription, which is really nice, but they also took away remote viewing. I’m a little bit bummed about that, but it’s not a huge issue for me.

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.bought tablo from BB on 11/13/23. followed instructions, couldn't get it set up. looked up install on their website, youtube, asked installation question on BestBuy, nothing worked. reached out to their support team on 11/23/23, after a series of up & back emails, the rep told me some of their tablo 4th generation 2 tuners have a 'glitch'. put me thru a series of diagnostics, nothing worked. finally, after 14 days of testing, i returned it on 11/27/23. i wrote to the CEO & the head of Customer Service of Nuvyyo (their parent company). told them my story. asked if, after all that, they would provide a new tablo for me for the inconvenience. NOPE. this was sold for $79 and b/c of their glitch, i wasted time going to and from the store and 14 days of trial and error. GOOD LUCK IF YOU HAVE ANY WARRANTY ISSUES IF THIS IS THE WAY THEY TREAT A POTENTIAL NEW CUSTOMER.

Tablo
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When I first bought (4 months) the equipment and software were easy to use and worked great. But now the system has multiple issues and Tablo has known about them for at least a month and not resolved. The two biggest issues are 1) changing channels sometimes requires exiting and re-launching software and the 2) is the recordings frequently do not work and will start for a minute or less and stop.

Buyer beware - google this product
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After googling the tablo gen 4 device it is very apparent to me there is a known issue with it's Roku app and possibly the same on Amazon Firestick. All I got from tech support was please restart you Roku which did nothing. I think there's a bug in the Tablo TV app and for some reason its not being acknowledged. I have gotten it to work on Iphone and google TV but that's not what was advertised.

Ok but not as easy to use
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We bought this to replace an old DVR. It's been a challenge figuring out some of the features as it's so different from our previous one.

Nice product for cord cutters
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works as advertised, Only one software glitch on Jan 1, 2024 that was fixed within hours. Convenient to use with UX first design. Obvious navigation with helpful hints. Bought the tablo to fix an Amazon FireTV where schedule had frequent crashes despite updates. Plus can stream the antenna without rewiring the house.

I wouldn't buy it again.
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.THis think is meh... When it works, it works just fine. Problem with it is, it only works probably 80% of the time. Usually just hangs up, I have to completely unplug this thing at least 2x per week.

Posted .Sorry you're running into this.
It might be a good idea to clear the cache on your Tablo app. We have an article on such on our knowledge base that should help.
Beyond that, consider reaching out to our technical support team.

A very disappointed customer. PT
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I recently cut my cable cord. I thought purchasing Tablo TV would remedy my issues with obtaining local channels. To say the least Tablo TV is awful- the connectivity was horrible. Tablo never connected to my wifi wrost product ever. It was such a ridiculous waste of time- I don't recommend this item to anyone. Lastly, the commercials are very misleading.

Glad I found this!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my first OTA recording device so I can't compare it to any others but so far so good. After cutting the cord I found I missed live and local tv so I looked into antennas. then I missed pausing, rewinding and recording. This Tablo takes care of that for what I consider to be an affordable price. It doesn't seem to have very good tuners in it and the signal is split between the 2 tuners but I splurged on a good antenna and now can get a great signal split between Tablo and 5 TVs. The app takes a while to load and each channel does as well, but the ability to record shows that aren't available for streaming is great! The cons are the guide is clunky and takes time to load and most times you have to start over at the lowest number channels when you go back in. I do miss the ability to just surf the channels but it is an app. The pros are the way it's laid out to show your favorite channels and what is on each channel at the time, but if you choose a show from that screen the option to record it doesn't seem to come up. I also wish that you could browse the shows or the guide without leaving the channel you have on. There are no fees for the guide. But overall I'm very happy with it and hope that it gets even better over time with updates.

Working as should
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far so good does what it needs to and provide free local channels. Setup took about 30 to 40 minutes had to find the right spot for the indoor antenna. Haven't test out the dvr fearure yet.
