Customer Ratings & Reviews

I love this item! I only need 1 antenna for my whole home. The device streams to all my TVs, it's like having cable without the HUGE expense!

So far so good. Hoping for an LG app soon. Easy to set up.

Tablo is an unexpected blessing, its fairly simple to use and navigate its features/options. Its our second backup system for an additional TV location and allowed us to ditch high cost Xfinity

This is an excellent product! We are very satisfied with the quality of the product!

Excellent product. Would recommend this for anyone.

Pretends to work. Got it connected to 1 gig router, so it has adequate wifi. Says if found 104 channels when set up. Loads program guide so you can see the channels. REFUSES to play shows. Select watch live, watch the spinner for a while, & it skips back to the guide. Useless. Web says to fix it by rebooting Tablo, router, & TV. Might work a bit, then quits.

I purchased this based on a recommendation I read online, after I got rid of my cable. I love that I can still record my favorite OTA programs without the hefty cable bill! Oh and set up was super easy!!

I recently cut my cable cord. I thought purchasing Tablo TV would remedy my issues with obtaining local channels. To say the least Tablo TV is awful- the connectivity was horrible. Tablo never connected to my wifi wrost product ever. It was such a ridiculous waste of time- I don't recommend this item to anyone. Lastly, the commercials are very misleading.

Works good so far. Did experience some issues setting it up. We paired this with a HDTV antenna that is up on the roof using an old Direct TV Dish. Reception is good. The system does have some "lag in it" frequently.

This DVR works great. Easy interface and reliable. However, you cant watch TV out of your home — which is a HUGE disadvantage in a day where streaming is accessible anywhere. Remvoing three stars until Tablo updates this.

This little device is well worth the money, the interface is similar to TiVo’s. Watching and recording is easily done. The video quality is perfect and initial setup simple. If you want to record of the air, this is the device.

Easy to set up and use. Ability to record over the air programming is fantastic

Works great, does everything as advertised. I will recommend

The 4th Generation has numerous bugs and is unstable. In many ways, it is a huge step backwards from the previous generation of this device (of which I own two). It often inexplicably fails to record shows (and signal level is NOT the issue), so it cannot be depended on to record important shows. The absence of a Windows app to view content is unforgiveable, especially when said app exists for the previous generation of the device! Tablo is under new ownership and the new owners seem to be taking the wrong direction. Don't take my word for it...read the professional review by Jared Newman published December 28th 2023 which tells the true story.

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!

We bought this to replace an old DVR. It's been a challenge figuring out some of the features as it's so different from our previous one.

The idea of the tablois great. The actual product is a frustrating, poorly functioning piece of garbage. Don't buy this unless you like constantly resetting and reprogramming over and over again. If you ignore the negative reviews hopefully you won't have problem because neither Best Buy nor Tablo will offer appropriate support. Watch your return deadline like a hawk and if you have even a tiny problem return the unit right away or you'll get ripped off. They like to tell you contact customer service but contacting customer service hasn't resolved my issue after multiple times. Apparently they think I enjoy giving them tech support for free. Don't do this unless you're desperate.

Problems with app, problems with set up- got it all set up and updated with a call to customer support then set to record world series game three- it made three recordings of audio only of less than 4 seconds, then recorded 15 minutes of the 5th inning. That limited reirding was glitchy and it would speed up randomly. That was it. Very disappointed. Watched without recording and a channel that comes in strong was glitching. Great idea but did notnwork for me. Returned.

Works as advertised. I would recommend this product to anyone wanting to record OTA TV.

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.
