    This is my first OTA recording device so I can't compare it to any others but so far so good. After cutting the cord I found I missed live and local tv so I looked into antennas. then I missed pausing, rewinding and recording. This Tablo takes care of that for what I consider to be an affordable price. It doesn't seem to have very good tuners in it and the signal is split between the 2 tuners but I splurged on a good antenna and now can get a great signal split between Tablo and 5 TVs. The app takes a while to load and each channel does as well, but the ability to record shows that aren't available for streaming is great! The cons are the guide is clunky and takes time to load and most times you have to start over at the lowest number channels when you go back in. I do miss the ability to just surf the channels but it is an app. The pros are the way it's laid out to show your favorite channels and what is on each channel at the time, but if you choose a show from that screen the option to record it doesn't seem to come up. I also wish that you could browse the shows or the guide without leaving the channel you have on. There are no fees for the guide. But overall I'm very happy with it and hope that it gets even better over time with updates.

    Works as advertised, Only one software glitch on Jan 1, 2024 that was fixed within hours. Convenient to use with UX first design. Obvious navigation with helpful hints. Bought the tablo to fix an Amazon FireTV where schedule had frequent crashes despite updates. Plus can stream the antenna without rewiring the house.

    Setup was interesting as I had to install twice. Then 2 days later had to reset the Tablo. Seems to work most of the time. I have to reboot it every other day that I use it. I am using the Tablo app thru the Firestick on my Samsung TV. My internet is Wi-Fi with 1GB Specturm router approximately 10' from the Tablo. I don't use it a lot because I have over 100 channels that are part of Samsung, plus the Firestick is thru a company that has other channels also. I am able to control the Tablo with the Samsung and Firestick remotes.

    if unit loses power you will have to Re-pair it with your cell phone only since unit works through Wi-Fi in your home quality is not quite as good as going direct from an HDMI source but very acceptable, even though Tablo say this unit can be set to record shows with the built in DVR system and 128 gigs of memory for Programs in the future, when I tried it it missed a couple shows I had preprogrammed this could have been due to the power failure loss during a local weather related storm that cut power to my home

    I purchased this to connect the antenna in the attic to my TV's without running cable through out the house. Setup and connecting to Wi-Fi was easy. Price was reasonable. Not Compatible With All TV Brands. Do research before purchasing. I'm currently looking for a product to replace this.

    Works great for my use case. The only issue I have in one of my old Roku sticks is that some channels do not cover the whole area of my tv and are pushed to a corner. Restarting the roku stick mostly fixes it 99% of the time. Being able to watch and record local news on my phone is awesome.

    WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE

    bought tablo from BB on 11/13/23. followed instructions, couldn't get it set up. looked up install on their website, youtube, asked installation question on BestBuy, nothing worked. reached out to their support team on 11/23/23, after a series of up & back emails, the rep told me some of their tablo 4th generation 2 tuners have a 'glitch'. put me thru a series of diagnostics, nothing worked. finally, after 14 days of testing, i returned it on 11/27/23. i wrote to the CEO & the head of Customer Service of Nuvyyo (their parent company).  told them my story. asked if, after all that, they would provide a new tablo for me for the inconvenience. NOPE. this was sold for $79 and b/c of their glitch, i wasted time going to and from the store and 14 days of trial and error. GOOD LUCK IF YOU HAVE ANY WARRANTY ISSUES IF THIS IS THE WAY THEY TREAT A POTENTIAL NEW CUSTOMER.

    I can’t give it a zero. I had high hopes for this as a cord cutter. It’s very buggy. I’ve never been able to watch a recorded show. It has always failed. Changing a channel takes 30-60 seconds, if it actually works. It reboots itself randomly a few times a day.

    When I first bought (4 months) the equipment and software were easy to use and worked great. But now the system has multiple issues and Tablo has known about them for at least a month and not resolved. The two biggest issues are 1) changing channels sometimes requires exiting and re-launching software and the 2) is the recordings frequently do not work and will start for a minute or less and stop.

    After googling the tablo gen 4 device it is very apparent to me there is a known issue with it's Roku app and possibly the same on Amazon Firestick. All I got from tech support was please restart you Roku which did nothing. I think there's a bug in the Tablo TV app and for some reason its not being acknowledged. I have gotten it to work on Iphone and google TV but that's not what was advertised.

    Replaced previous Tablo that quit working just after its warranty expired. Hoping this one lasts longer.
