    My legacy tablo got fried by a lightning strike. Reluctantly had to replace with 4th Gen. Takes way to looong to start up - way over 1 minute many times. You miss the start of the show when you move to tablo from a steaming seevice.

    Very Dissapointed -- False Advertising

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    What Tablo doesnt tell you in any of its advertising or on the box itself is that your TV needs a streaming device connected in order to use Tablo. THIS IS BULL AND IM GOING TO SUE TABLO FOR FALSE ADVERTISING. ITS TABLOW!!!

    I bought this as a tv tuner and the ability to record ota. It requires an account and Internet connection so they can sell your viewing. They also locked thos down from being able to ise 3rd party servers like plex. Do yourself a favor and buy the hdhomerun

    Realized too late that I was getting recording conflicts on most of what I was trying to record. 2 tuners and it will only let me record one show at a time. Too late to return it. Wasted $100.
