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.

If you check the Tablo Support Page and look for Tablo-Compatible, you should see an article that lists specifically what will and will not work.

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. .

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.

I would recommend this to a friend 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.
