Tablo guide review
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This product does what it says it does very well. The only reason I didn’t give Tablo 5 stars is that can’t find channels using voice on the remote control

NO Customer Support
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased on Wednesday and took it home and set it up and used it with no issues. Instructions says it must be powered on all the time even over night so I left it on the first night. Thursday morning turned on TV and all I had was a spinning circle from Tablo. I unplugged it and still nothing. Called Customer Support and get a recording stating no one is available. So all I can say is trying to get help when something is wrong isn't easy. I may be taking it back for a refund.

Barely works some of the time.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works some of the time. Have trouble with working on some of my Roku devices. Customer Support says the Rokus I have are old. BS. Now two Rokus kick me out of the app every 10 minutes. And it wont work on my Apple TV streaming device. They keep delaying the Apple TV app. This product is not sorted out yet.

Not worth it for me
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Would be great if it worked with my devices. Roku tv? Nope. Apple iPads ? Nope. Older tv with wyfy capability ? Nope. Samsung galaxy tab? Yes. Other devices cannot find it on the network. Had hoped to drop cable tv since this gets the main networks but I need it to work on more than a Samsung tablet. Software is annoying also as I can save my login info. .

Good concept but poor Roku integration
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s great that they offer no-fee guide data and that they have a wide range of supported streaming apps. Maybe other streaming players do better but the Roku implementation is absolutely horrible. First, on the non-HD channels, the screen would be really small. After doing some research, I found out that Tablo is expecting the end device to do some transcoding and the small Roku stick I had wasn’t good enough so I upgraded to Roku Ultra. That worked for the non-HD channels…great…or so I thought. Now the app just randomly crashes (an hour show, I might get fully kicked out 4 times to the Roku Home Screen). I held on hope for a couple months that they’d fix this with firmware/app updates but after doing more research, it’s apparent that all these issues have been around for a while.

A waste of money
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My husband wanted a Tablo for Christmas. Well 3 months later with it sitting on my computer in the dining room. It says weak single right in my living room and in other rooms in the house. Many times it has said can not load live tv and freezes in the middle of loading. I have missed several of my favorite shows because of this. I would not recommend this at all. It saves no money if you can't watch tv with it. I give it a 1

Posted .Hi TroyH- We’re sorry to hear you are having issues with Tablo! Usually we would say this could be an issue with your antenna placement, but since this is affecting all channels we recommend rebooting your Tablo device. If this does not solve your issue, please reach out to support on the Tablo TV website for additional troubleshooting.

It doesn't work
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It doesn't work on my LG TV. It doesn't work on my ThinkPad X1 (Windows 11). It only works on my tiny iphone 12. This is horribly disappointing. I shouldn't need to jump through so many hoops to get a product to work.

Don’t Waste Your Money
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This device is not worth the money and time spent on it. I’ve experienced nothing but loss of signal making it impossible to get a full recording of local programming. I contacted Tablo’s customer support and they advised it was an issue with the antenna being used. I’ve since tested it with five different antenna solutions with the same results, or lack there of. I cross tested those antennas with separate TVs and they worked fine with no signal loss. I worked return it but it’s outside of BestBuy’s 15 day return window. Going forward not only will I not use the Tablo that’s now worthless I’ll also be very cautious of what I buy at BestBuy.
