    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I had a legacy Tablo device that I gave to my son to use, so I purcahsed the newest version for myself. It works very well here where I live (Houston area) and with a good antenna pulls in over 170 local OTA channels. I am very pleased with it. Mine is directly connected to my LAN, so streaming is excellent. Highly recommended.

    This little device was easy to set up and has a functional app to use on my phone and with my Firestick. Great tool for time shifting TV shows and skipping by ads, all with no subscription costs.

    Well the first thing is that it only goes back to 2019 my smart TV was purchased 2018. so, it doesn't work with my TV luckily I have a new TV in my bedroom not exactly where I'd like to spend 80 bucks. I haven't plugged it in there yet so I don't even know if it works on that TV. Not a happy camper.

    So much better than paying almost $100 per month for Youtube TV. There are some down sides, but for the difference in price, super-value.

    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.

    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.

    Purchased this so I could watch shows I like because I work wonky hours. I bought it and set it up and everything seemed to be working fine. After two days the screen went blue and would not work- I had to do a hard reset - googled it and everything was back to working but I had lost everything I had recorded to watch. Another glitch is I have an over the air antenna and get a specific channel that I use regularly and for some reason the Tablo will not pick up that particular channel. I have two television systems in my home and one is a smart LG television and the other is a Roku stick hooked to a projector system. The Tablo interface is better on the Roku system - I thought they would be the same but they are not. Have had it for a little while and the problems have seemed to go away for now. It seems to be a very glitchy system and I would not pay full price for it. I don’t recomend it but if there are no better options??? It’s up to you
