DO NOT RECOMMEND
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I would not recommend this product. It is almost impossible to set up and then you get kicked out on a regular basis and cannot get it to boot back up.

Troubleshooting your TV antenna connection should help find the missing channels. Check out our knowledge base for how.
still getting to know the unit
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It has been difficult to program correctly. I don't have a very good antenna working yet.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendGood idea that falls short
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really wanted to like it, but ended up returning. Reception signal is lost compared to going straight to the TV or through a different device. Also the apps are not ready for primetime. The android app messes with your home launcher, and there is no apple TV or Chromecast support. Returned and got an hdhomerun which works great.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendIts ok
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Slow and when you turn it on takes forever to load
No, I would not recommend this to a friendTablo Device-thumbs down
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This product didn’t work for me/us at all. By the time the Air channels signal went thru the antenna, to the Tablo device, then thru a Roku device and back to the TV, the few channels that were still available were tiling so that the picture couldn’t even be made out. I returned the product for full refund.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendGreat over the air tv!
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works as advertised! Sends over the air transmission to tv's on your wifi network.
I would recommend this to a friendBAD!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is without a doubt the worst item I've ever bought from Best Buy. Don't waste your money - couldn't make the app on my phone work for set up, then it worked but when I downloaded the app on my smart tv, that didn't work. When I used the app on the Roku, the picture quality was lousy and only worked right sometimes. Save your money.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendTotally disappointed
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this tablo as i was hoping to get some channels to watch. But this was totally misleading. Only got about 70 irrelevant channnels.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendWow
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Stunning tuner reception, better than the TV's. Connected it to the TV and received 8 more channels!
I would recommend this to a friendDoes not compare to past generation
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.More like a downgrade. They have a lot to work on with their application

BAD CHOICE
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A very BAD PIECE that DOES NOT WORK ON LG TV SETS and they do not tell you till after you buy this peice of CRAP.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Tablo TV
Posted .So sorry for the confusion Victor. We do mention that the Tablo app for LG is coming soon on our website and product page.
Does the job
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought the Tablo so that I could watch NHL games of my local team. I was also quite surprised of the number of local channels that the Tablo was able to pickup. Very happy with the results.
I would recommend this to a friendTablo over the air video recorder.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great option for people who want to record over the air station. New TVs don't have TV tuners this the solution to that. Also come with a easy navigated tv guide. Just by the device and their are no other fees.
I would recommend this to a friendCan watch from any device in my house.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent replacement for my old OTA TIVO. It is great to be able to access from all of my devices on my local network.

Stand alone DVR
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love it....Love it....Love it! Was not aware when purchased that LG and Samsung TV alone.... do not have anapp avilable to support the Tablo software. Must have Google or other TV.
I would recommend this to a friendDidn’t Work For Me
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I returned it. Pulled in over 120 channels about 30 miles from NYC. But no matter what I did it would NOT bring in the ABC network.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendCut the cable------NOW
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.What a great deal! To think that it offers free movies and tv and has a TV guide and all for less than one months DirecTV. It is a bargain even if I don't use it regularly.
I would recommend this to a friendTablo works as good or better than described!!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Tablo works great enabling me to record over the air programs. Also it has (2) tuners so I can record (2) differnt shows at the same time. I like recording movies when I'm in bed and watch them another time.
I would recommend this to a friendNo Apple TV App
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you're buying this to use with an Apple TV, forget it, we've been waiting for 3+ months and still no app!! Not a peep out of them.
