    I've been waiting for this sort of device to come on the market. Tablo allows you to put an indoor antenna in the best location and wirelessly connect all your tvs to that antenna feed. Beware, though, Tablo doesnt work with all tvs. We had to use Roku to bring Tablo to our brand new LG set. Its still worthwhile and recommended.

    With Tablo I was able to get a few more OTA channels than with just my antenna. However, the Tablo app freezes quite often. Sometimes when first opening the app I have to back out and try 2 maybe 3 times to get it to open. I have good wifi signal with gig speed so there shouldn't be a problem. The weather also affects how good it works.

    The Tablo replaces a FireTV Recast that is no longer supported. The Tablo is better in so many ways. Everything from the setup to the guide and ease of use. Fast forwarding through commercials of recorded shows is WAY better. Very happy with the purchase.

    Set up was relatively easy and once I figured out that the Google tv remote would control it through the app I was able to use it. Unfortunately it would lag every 20 seconds or so. Had it connected through a power line adapter that got me the needed Ethernet connection in order to stream on my wireless network. May have been my setup, but I returned it as I wanted something simpler to make work.

    Excellent menu interface, unrelable connection

    Excellent onscreen menu interface, but connection to Tablo server and Tablo app is unreliable. This is very disappointing, since I really like the product. It worked great for about 24 hours, then it dropped the connection with an onscreen notification "unknown error". Subsequently, the phone app and desktop PC would not log into the Tablo server to validate my account. After several attempts over a few hours, it finally validated my account allowing me to attempt reconnection to the Tablo device. However, it continually failed to reconnect with the notification “unknown error”. If I had to speculate, there are two issues. One with the Tablo server (phone app would not reconnect), and the other with the Tablo device potentially overheating (it gets quite warm) to drop the Wi-Fi connection. Unfortunately, now I know why the Tablo app has 2.4 stars on the Google Play store. If this had proven reliable, I would have rated 5 stars. But due to unreliability, I am rating 2 stars (instead of 1 star) since I really liked the onscreen menu interface when it worked. Returned for a no hassle refund with the 15-day grace period.

    I had the original Tablo and it worked great, but this one will not work with my Roku! If I record a show, I can watch it with the Tablo app on my tablet, but not on the TV. After finding an online forum, it seems that I'm not the only one having this problem. I wish I had my old one back!

      There's a current known issue between Roku 14 and Tablo. You may be able to work around the issue with the following steps:
      In SETTINGS for the Roku device itself (not the Tablo Roku app), navigate to: AUDIO -> DIGITAL OUTPUT FORMAT -> CUSTOM.
      Make sure DOLBY DIGITAL is selected for the DOLBY section - leave the DTS setting disabled.
      Return to your Tablo app and try playing an OTA channel again.

      Hope this helps. TabloTV

    Much improved Tablo device

    The new Tablo unit is much improved over the previous models. Along with an amplified antenna, I am able to pull in more local channels than ever before. It works best on Amazon Fire or Google TV, but he Roku app still has a few glitches as it occasionally drops connection. With the addition of multiple internet based channels, this device is great. I would recommend this device for anyone looking to cut the cord.

    Love this little gadget. When scanning was done it picked up an additional 35 channels and to know I can download the app on the additional tv’s w/o needing the antennas is even better yet. Bought another one for my daughter and her family. Thanks to my friend Kim who recommended it.

    I have had this device for a month now, and it has been great for me to be able to watch sports with. I didn't have cable, so that was always difficult to do. I have loved having this device thus far, and the setup was quick and easy. (Approx 20 mins) As long as you have a fire stick, fire tv, or roku tv I would highly recommend this device to anyone.

    Tablo is easy to set up. Mine works well with my Apple TV. It needs a good antenna site to get the most channels. I’ve been able to stream over 120 channels. Thus not needing to pay for cable channels.
