    No one at the store could help understand how to this device actually works. Not compatible with my Samsung or Viso smart tvs. I would not have bought it if I knew. Will be returning

    4th Generation Tablo a Winner!

    I am very satisfied with the Tablo. This is a backup to my streaming service while they argue with the owner of my local tv station. I also can watch and record other local over the air stations. Installation was very simple and it is working reliably. I probably would have gone for a four tuner model if it had been available, but this one suffices since I do most of my recording on the streaming service.

    Nice DVR without subscription, decent app, but tuner sensitivity is poor. Can't pick up channels my HDHomeRun, TV's around the house, or even my cheapo HomeWork DVR can. Will likely return it.

    Tried with two different product and it has a problem with a wifi network. When it is working, I like it but the other time, it cannot find Tablo within the same network. I had to reset/reboot/ power off/ on for several times. I like it has a signal booster and it works well with some weak signal stations in area. As far as Schedule is concerned, I didn't have any serious issue except some stations program was inaccurate. I have been updated firmware and apps before making final review . I will wait for next version.

    so many glitches. blank icons for recordings. channel guide does not display which are going to record. worse channel sensitivity than old tablo. some recordings will not fast forward--listed as currently live. some recordings not lip synched. some recorded icons cannot be selected. keep your original tablo or find one for sale

    barely usable for Android users

    Probably okay for iPhone, but a lot more development is needed for Android users. Was happy with the old Tablo version, but bought this to avoid the monthly subscription. Maybe someday it will be usable for Android, but I'm going back to using the old one. - won't format a drive if partially used - only way to find content is byscrolling through the huge(24 hours x 14 day) Live table(except maybe for series) - doesn't even *allow* recording if more than 2 days in the future - no searches by name, stars, channel, sport, team, etc
