Customer Ratings & Reviews

We use an outdoor TV antenna to receive free TV. This Tablo has enabled us to record our favorite programs to view at a later time. It works great! And we can watch channels that we can’t pick up locally. Would recommend!

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...

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.

Extremely difficult to set up, operate or find broadcasting towers. If willing to go through extreme time-consuming aggravation when wishing to watch anything from local stations, this device is for you and will provide all the pain one wishes for.

Works great, does everything as advertised. I will recommend

Great product. Make sure you get good signal OTA. I was having issue with Roku but looks like they just released patch to address. Fire TV, Chromecast, iOS devices work great. I wish fire tv and Chromecast apps UI was more like iOS because it is hard to check for conflicts on future recordings. iOS app show figure recordings in sequence and you can easily find conflicts if you are recording more then 2 shows. Fast fwd of commercials works great and of the many shows I have recorded I only had one failed recording. Not sure why but I have recorded a bunch of stuff and my wife has also without issue. Again key thing make sure you have good OTA signal testing directly to a TV before you try it. So many complain about it who have poor OTA signal and that is not fault of this device.

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.

Easy to set up and provides an excellent quality picture on local channels. This device is perfect for people wanting to save on cable bills. Since my TV is mounted to the wall I could not attach a coaxial cable and this device connects through Wi-Fi equipment.

Not bad does not work with older models TVs , no chromecast , or airplay

This thing blends streaming with my over the aie channels theiugh my antenna. Setuo could be a little easier, but for the orice youre getting amazing TV selection with zero subscription fees. Its a winner for me.

IT DOES WHAT IT SAID IT WOULD. IT BRINGS IN HARD TO RECEIVE SIGNALS.

Expect it will be good one day. As it stands now it crashes a lot and drops back out of the app. Very slow and sluggish as well. It will be a great tool if they get the bugs worked out. Really like it except for all the crashes by the software.

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

Enjoying recording OTA broadcast and watching later and fast forwarding through ALL the commercials. Needs bigger internal memory. Added a 2TB hard drive for lots of recording time. Software needs a continue watching feature to make going back to last show that was watching to finish watching.

This is a cool little device. So easy to setup and interface is cool. I was concerned about picture quality but I was surprised to see that it's pretty close to cable. It has a small footprint and can be hung up. Very pleased with my purchase.

Bye-Bye. Xfinity…DVR over the air TV recording, while I watch one!

The latest version of Gen 4 requires new app. The new app is not available for LG webOS, XBox or Windows App store. These are the platforms all previously supported in the old Tablo.This will only work with chromcast roku or apple tv. Also as soon I plugged it in I lost several channels.

Works surprisingly well. Easy to set up & use, has sufficient DVR storage built in and the tuner paired with an inexpensive Insignia indoor antenna really pull all your local TV stations in. Great unit!

Awesome add on If you have bad reception with you antenna for local tv this is the stuff. Get local channels clearly Record you favorites And there are over a 100 streaming channels All it took was wifi and an antenna

Works great sometimes. Then loses connection and you have to do setup all over again. Especially when you wanted it to record a big game. Happened too many times for me to keep this ****.
