Ok but not as easy to use
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Very good product. Enjoy it immensely.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.With the antenna I bought to attach to it; it pulls in and records all my local channels. I actually need more storage so eventually I will buy an 8 TB external hard drive to hook up to it.

Tablo 4th gen
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Still a bit buggy. It freezes too often so you need to exit Tablo or force stop it on fire stick. I've had to unplug it to reset once during the short time I have owned it. The best feature is you don't have to pay for programing.

Worth the money!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The hookup procedure was pretty straightforward, and once that was done, it has worked very well. I love that you can schedule recording programs up to 2 weeks in advance. Playback is smooth and I have had no issues with it.

Good or not good?
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like having the Tablo but don’t like have to use my phone or tablet to search channels, etc. It kinda limits where you can watch tv or if I’m gone with my phone, my family can’t watch…..

Piece of junk
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If i could give this piece of junk zero stars I would. It sort of worked the first few months although at a beta test level. Lately though it has become totally worthless. I run this as a Roku channel which is supposed to be supported. Now we watch Live TV for about a minute and then it goes back to the Roku channel select screen. Before that started happening it would jump back to the Tablo set-up screen. No error messages...nothing. Customer support is non existent. It says hold time is 14-17 minutes and then after waiting for a tech support agent for about an hour a recorded message saying that no agents are available to take your call and to try again later. Then disconnects. So I now have a $100 paperweight. Avoid this piece of c#&p.

Nice DVR!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works nicely on iPhone, iPad, Fire TV. Replacing my old Fire TV recast and this is nice. One drawback - it doesn't stream outside the house (yet?... requires Tablo to make a change to stream a different way in firmware).

Disappointed, poor reception compared to old Tablo
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I swapped out an older legacy dual tuner Tablo. I was hoping that there would be improved tuners in the newer 4th Gen model and was willing to give up the commercial skip feature of the old Tablo in order to get better/updated hardware. Unfortunately the Tablo 4th Gen is only finding about 30 channels, and they are the channels I normally exclude on the older Tablo. None of my favored channels are coming in on the new tuner. This is using the exact same antenna setup which was working well before. The internal antenna amplification makes no difference (on or off). So I am going back to the old Tablo, or maybe dropping it altogether. This one is going back unfortunately.

Great device
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great little device, records 2 shows at the same time and is through the Internet not your TV so you can what other things. Really easy to set up and customer service is available 7 days a week!

Device is buggy and useless.
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This has got to be one of the worst products that I have ever purchased. I have issues with this thing daily. It is always going into offline mode and when it is in this mode it is basically useless. Nothing else in my home is having connection issues only this device.

Posted .Sorry you're running into that.
It might be handy to connect your Tablo to your network via Ethernet. If that doesn't help, try reaching out to Tablo support.

Watch Local TV When You Want With No Monthly Fee
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

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.

It's Complicated
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a nice device but can be complicated to setup and you have to download an app on your phone and setup there as well, compared to Roku plug and watch.

Probably good product
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this to use for local station recording. After I purchased it I found out I didn't really need it. It appears to be a good product. I just did not need it. Without really using it I have to say the research I did; it appears to be as it was described. I cannot say anything bad about it.
