Game Changer
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Game changer. Watch your shows when YOU want to. Easy setup and works on all my devices as long as they're logged on to my wifi.
I would recommend this to a friend One Tuner to Rule Them All (TVs)
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Yes, your current TV can tune off-air channels. But Tablo can record programs, and feeds the channels with all your smart TVs over WiFi / only one antenna needed.

Disappointed
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy to set up, but worked only once and then it would no longer connect to local channels despite rebooting and resetting multiple times.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Not a stable product.

Talbo
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great product easy to setup and use. Paired with right antenna, I get great reception with all the major networks.
I would recommend this to a friend Amazing greatly improved from prior versions
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best kept secret, this thing is amazing, in area where you have OTA reception. Has all the channels I would normally watch and I can DVR. Pays for itself in less than a month compared to cable or streaming services. I have had a few times it has not loaded on Android but it's an exception that a TV reboot quickly fixes.
I would recommend this to a friendWorth it
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love it. I get 98 channels and all local channels and no monthly fee
I would recommend this to a friendCould be more user friendly
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Most of the setup is easy, but could use a little more information. The use also needs more information. I do like the prduct and love being able to record with it.
I would recommend this to a friendAntenna + Tablo = OTA on all TVs
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely love the Tablo. I’m able to get local over the air programming in all my TVs with only one antenna. Also a built in DVR. I ❤️ it.
I would recommend this to a friendDoes NOT WORK OUTSIDE the home like older versions
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pros: Good little DVR for OTA antenna. Don't have to run coaxial cable all over the house. I use it with my Amazon Fire Stick with no issues. Cons: Unlike previous versions of Tablo (black box) this DOES NOT work OUTSIDE the home. This was one of the main reasons I went with the Tablo, so I could watch it while traveling. Huge disappointment that this wasn't better labled. All reviews and instructions I found before my purchase gave info on how to connect outside the home. It took some serious digging to finally figure out the new iteration of the Tablo couldn't do this. Not cool. I would've looked at other options had I known this wasn't possible Does not work well with wifi--constantly loses connection. Works much better with an ethernet connection.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendWorks but needs improvements
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This device meets the basics for antenna reception, but it could use some added features. First is speed. It does not respond quickly to inputs. Second, it is unfortunate that they don’t have apps for LG Samsung and other TVs. Third, Using it through Amazon fire stick has been a pain.

Posted .Thanks for the feedback! We’re hoping to launch the Apple TV and smart TV applications as soon as possible. We do not currently have a date we can share, but Apple TV will be the first to launch later this fall. That said, we're also actively releasing firmware and app updates to improve overall performance and speed so your experience should continue to improve with time :)
Free Local TV with Great pic
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Saw online someone recommend a RCA multidirectional flat antenna, with that works flawless. Like cable with no bill on local tv!
I would recommend this to a friendTablo
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love it but goes in and out doesn't always record my shows. Love pause feature. I was hoping to record everything so i can get rid of streaming channels.
I would recommend this to a friendExcellent Produ t!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great and does exact k y what ut says it does. I only wished that I purchased the 4 tuner version as while re ording, you can only watch live tv on one device
I would recommend this to a friendTablo - tuner usage
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It generally does what we hoped it would, watch and record over the air programs. However, it randomly resets back to our Roku home screen and we have not been able to determine if it is caused by the Tablo, the Roku, our Wi-Fi, or our internet.
I would recommend this to a friendCutting a Cord
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This over the air DVR will allow me cancel a TV service that I have had for over 20 years. It was easy to install and configure.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat, if you like buffering!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I received a Tablo TV device for Christmas. I was really looking forward to recording broadcast TV shows and NFL games, BUT, it is buffering about every 6-10 seconds! I first tried using my Wifi, then switched to an ethernet connection, but that didn't help. I have a fast enough internet, so I don't know what the problem is. They have many negative reviews, so this Christmas gift just may have to go back to Santa's workshop!

Posted .Hello,
Sorry you're running into this.
Buffering issues tend to be on your local network, as opposed to the internet speeds from your service provider. While you're connected to your router via Ethernet, there may be interference between your router and your other viewing devices. We'd recommend reaching out to our technical support team, they should be able to help.
