Customer Ratings & Reviews

Works great assuming your reception is good. Impressive free guide and on-board dvr make it a good cordcutter deal.

Easy to set up and it does not take long to install. You do have to call for help on the app to set up your tv.

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.

Have the same channels with streaming bought for local channels cannot get

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.

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!

Excellent for streaming. We couldn’t get channel 7, even with an antenna. Bought this and it comes in GREAT!!!!! So does 180 more channels

Really stable connection via wifi. Much better than before. The extra free channels are also nice.

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.

Item defected . No power when plug in. Night another from Amazon which works immediately. Not eligible to return after purchase 19 days. Even though on line chat service agent gave me case number to promise successfully return on store, but store supervusor still have me trouble, I need to proove chat services agents promise to get return. If I know the store will be so troubled me, I won't drove and pay Parking fee , I would use credit cards return protection to get refunded. Most of important lesson I learned, is NO MORE buying from Best Buy.

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.

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.

No problems with the product. Easy to install and use.

The product works as advertised; however, there are a couple of things to keep in mind. If you lose power, you lose antenna service to all connected TVs. The same goes for Internet access, if you lose internet access you lose antenna service. Other than those two things, this was a very good idea.

Best purchase to cut the cable! Works seamless and is so easy to use my mom can operate tablo and record shows.

This is a great product. Essentially, a digital VCR. But it works very well. Highly recommend.

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.

It is very easy to set up. Works exactly as expected.

Great product. Would use it again on another tv. Told family about it
