Customer Ratings & Reviews

Tablo performs as advertised. I am completely satisfied with this purchase.

Just started using this. Setup went very well. Works nicely making the "cord cutting" operation complete.

Great! Over-the-air DVR, great addition with the fast channels. Highly recommend

Tablo is an unexpected blessing, its fairly simple to use and navigate its features/options. Its our second backup system for an additional TV location and allowed us to ditch high cost Xfinity

Very satisfied so far. So happy that we purchased this product.

Interesting little device to amp up streaming services.

The 4th Generation has numerous bugs and is unstable. In many ways, it is a huge step backwards from the previous generation of this device (of which I own two). It often inexplicably fails to record shows (and signal level is NOT the issue), so it cannot be depended on to record important shows. The absence of a Windows app to view content is unforgiveable, especially when said app exists for the previous generation of the device! Tablo is under new ownership and the new owners seem to be taking the wrong direction. Don't take my word for it...read the professional review by Jared Newman published December 28th 2023 which tells the true story.

Pretends to work. Got it connected to 1 gig router, so it has adequate wifi. Says if found 104 channels when set up. Loads program guide so you can see the channels. REFUSES to play shows. Select watch live, watch the spinner for a while, & it skips back to the guide. Useless. Web says to fix it by rebooting Tablo, router, & TV. Might work a bit, then quits.

Works good so far. Did experience some issues setting it up. We paired this with a HDTV antenna that is up on the roof using an old Direct TV Dish. Reception is good. The system does have some "lag in it" frequently.

Does what I bought it for, works most of the time. I am satisfied with it.

All good! Setup was pretty easy - instructions were clear and not hard to follow. After spending a minimal time learning the app, probably less than 15 minutes, I was able to start watching and setup recording of my favorite shows. I've had the unit 2 weeks now, and everything works beautifully!

Great for sports! 41 channels to record favorite shows, sports

Average product. Takes a while to get the video to stabilize. Cumbersome to navigate.

The Tablo has come a long way but still needs polishing During my use and installation; the Tablo worked best for me hard wired. My antennae was internal but placed at the apex of the room as we don’t have access to the roof nor attic More update will have to continue for the guide to be up to date and also accommodate for the guide freezing up at times Thank you

I've had the device since November 2023. There are major issues with core functionality: 1. On many channels the video will freeze while the audio keeps playing for both live TV and for recordings. 2. When you try to fast forward more than about a minute at a time on longer recordings (like a football game, basektball game, or movie), the player will not resume playing, presenting you with the still image and a loading spinner. Besides these core issues, there are several user experience issues. 1. Navigation to recordings includes extra unnecessary steps. You have to navigate past a "show the most recent recording" to get to a list of recurring recordings. Just show me the whole list of recordings and I am smart enough to pick which I want to watch. 2. Setting up a recording is about as round-about as watching one. The options for pre-show and post-show buffers aren't on the main recording screen, so you have to go searching for them. This is the second over-the-air DVR I have purchased, and while it is better than the first I bought, it still leaves much to be desired. I would not purchase again and would return the one I have if I could.

It's great to record over-the-air TV shows to watch later. You can also watch over-the-air TV shows live through Tablo, especially if you have only one antenna. (Some cable companies charge extra for local channels.) My Tablo has excellent resolution, so I have a great picture. If you wish, you can wall-mount Tablo. I have mine on a small table near the TV.

It works well for what it is, i was hoping i could use the app to watch away from home, but you have to be on the same network the dvr is on to be able to watch your streams

This OTA unit is extremely easy to set up and operate! It has an internal antennae amplifier built in to increase any weak signals in your area. I wish it came with a larger internal hard drive for recordings. It comes with a 128GB drive. Overall, this is a very good unit for the price!

So far so good. Hoping for an LG app soon. Easy to set up.

Three plus days trying to get Tablo to work a futile effort. I could confirm my router connected with Tablo but android phone 4g said would not connect so could not use unit. Called tech. Courteous. Suggested turn off VPN. Did not solve issue.Suggested reboot router did not resovle issue. Unlesd one is really tech savvy do not purchase a Tablo. Instead purchased a Aluratek at Bestbuy. Very easy to setup. Intuitive to program...
