    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.

    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.

    Replaced a Tivo that quit with the Tablo 4th Gen. Excellent product, functioning as well as a Tivo, of which I would consider the best. An excellent buy for $99.00.

    After using the device for a couple of months, so far it has been working great. I have tried an earlier version and kept having problems with the hard drives failing but this one appears to be much more stable.

    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.

    Works as advertised. Hooked Tablo by wifi to wifi and while it took 45 min or so to complete connection & downloads has worked well since. Still trying to determine if ethernet connection is viable.

    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.

    Dropped cable and needed a way to tape shows. Waiting for the writer's strike to end so we can see our favorite night time shows return. Practicing so we can see shows in the morning. Nice little unit.

    This item does a goof job of broadcasting local channels to my internet router. The Tablo app is now just another choice in my roku menu.

    I used an earlier generation Tablo for years. It was good, did what it was supposed to. This newest generation and its associated Fire TV app are by comparison much better.

    It’s a piece of crap. I wish I never bought it. Should have stuck with TiVo. All kinds of errors. You can clearly it recorded more of the program but it will just stop playing the recording because of the signal but it’s there to view you just can’t continue to view it. It’s crap. Save your money.

    We are never home for prime time TV but now with this device it doesn't matter anymore. Take the time and watch a few videos on how to use it and you'll definitely get your money's worth.
