Not 100%, more like 90!
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Former BBY employee, needed a dvr for ota broadcasts. This does the job about 90% of the time. Sometimes doesn’t record the show at all after successfully doing it other times. Sometimes the video and the audio don’t match, too. Had I known what I know now, I would have purchased a different manufacturer, since this apparently has major glitches.

Posted .Hello,
Sorry you're running into that.
It sounds like you are running into TV reception issues. You should try repositioning your antenna, if that fails it might be handy to get an antenna that's more fitting for your area.
If you get stuck, feel free to reach out to our technical support team.

Tablo appears limited in its function ability.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Reason I purchased for recording live tv shows. It did record but when we went to play back the show it was very small on the tv screen. Really unwatchable. We have Samsung tvs. We called the Tablo help line. They were aware and at present not fixable. So we returned it. We were so disappointed as this was my husbands Christmas gift and we did want reasonable recording device that we did not have to pay a monthly subscription.

Very good OTA DVR for your television
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a very good OTA DVR for your television. The first few weeks were a little rough - it would freeze up. Over the past couple of months they have updated the app and the device which have improved things dramatically. I would recommend the device.

Continuously Crashes
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Just purchased after reading all the positive reviews however I installed it and found it crashes every minute to 2 minutes. Look on Tablo website and find they are having this problem. They say they are working on a fix. I will wait a couple of weeks before I return it to see if they actually fix it.

Great gift for the person with a tv in every room
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great way to record over the air tv broadcast, with a good outdoor antenna record all favorite shows! Get this and tell your cable provider to wipe their a*# with their converter box’s and HD fees

I can't return this piece of crap.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This thing is not worth the money at any cost. It goes out and needs to be reinstalled. I downloaded an upgrade last week it worked even less. Today I put on my tablo and blink, blink, blink, around and around. I reset. Blink blink blink.2 and 1/2 hours blink blink blink. Around around around. I unplug and uninstall. And start all over. Blink blink blink. Back into the box. Perhaps I can sell it at a garage sale for a buck, no that's asking to much

Loving my Tablo!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this device for recording and having a DVR for our OTA local channels.

Great Network DVR
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I think this is a great value. Free guide and dvr for the $99 device purchase price. It took some time for some of the channels' guide data to load but has been steady since the first two days. One piece of advice is to try toggling the "antenna amplification" toggle in the software. Turning this off gave me several channels that wouldn't pick up with this setting turned on. It may be because I already have an amplified antenna plugged into the Tablo. Highly recommend. At time of publication, the AppleTV app isn't ready but am using on iPad and Roku for now.

PURE JUNK
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Like it over cable
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love using Tablo and it’s amazing to be able to use it in any room w/o cable and to record shows. However, it has its flaws—sometimes it doesn’t pick up the signal to channels but I still like it over cable.
