      Sorry to hear you're having connection issues with your Tablo Chuck.

      It may be viable to connect it to your router through Ethernet. If that fails, or cannot be done, consider reaching out to our support team. They should be able to help. TabloTV

    Doesn't work with PC. Doesn't work with any phone that uses VPN (my phone is a work phone and I can't shut VPN off). App is finnicky and doesn't give much context on why it's not working. I used to have a basic USB TV tuner from another company that I lost in a move - that thing just plugged in and worked. This Tablo device on the other hand seems to require a networking degree. Memory is cheap and 128 GB of DVR seems pretty easy to just replicate on your own. It would be nice if the main feature of TV Tuner actually worked.

    Not compatible with my Eero mesh network. Their customer service has people to speak with. They were polite and have tried to come up with a workaround, but no luck. Avoid if you are using a mesh network

      Hi Daniel - Tablo can work with mesh networks, but it can be a bit tricky. Connecting the Tablo to a base station via Ethernet and ensuring your streaming devices or smart TVs are near a base station can help. Please reach out to our support team again so we can look into this further and find a solution for you. TabloTV

    Super device - even connected to a cell booster antenna it picked up 102 channels. Can’t wait to connect it to a real antenna. Great wireless performance. Set up a bit tricky at first.

    Purchased thinking it would be a digital antenna and we would get the news, but that was not the case.

      Tablo makes use of a TV antenna to push over-the-air TV and 100+ streaming channels to every compatible device in your home. It can also record around 50 hours of video for most of these, more if you attach an external hard drive.

      Any TV antenna can work with it. TabloTV

    I think this little DVR is great! With extra channels included with the unit o have around 75 channels total. The 2 weeks of program guide is very nice. Wifi was easy to set up and using this device, no hookup was needed to be done with the TV . I just had to download the Tablo app. Great purchase.

    I am amazed at the movies that I can look at on my Tablo 4th Generation. One thing that I can say is I enjoy watching the old T.V. shows that I use to watch back in the days. I highly recommend everyone to purchase this device to have in your home.
