    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I never had a chance to evaluate before I had to return it. I cannot gig the manufacturer for that but BB might want to reevaluate return time for certain items. 2 weeks went by quickly

      Sorry you ran into that Steve,

      Buffering is usually due to your network slowing down. Connecting your Tablo to ethernet or troubleshooting your network may resolve the problem.

      If you continue to have problems though, please reach out to Tablo Support. TabloTV
