Customer Ratings & Reviews

I cut my cable in December and purchased an antenna, but missed being able to pause, rewind, ff and record. Tablo seemed like the most appropriate dvr for my needs. It took quite a while for me to figure out how to navigate, but some of the problems could have been due to how my tv and remote work. I've had a few issues with pausing (doesn't always start back at the point where I paused, but skips to live) and a few glitches with recording. But overall I'm pleased with it, and it sure beats paying my monthly cable bill!

Easy to set up. I'm able to get local channels at no extra cost. Only issue is the buffering.

Works as promised- although requires rebooting often. Love small size and ease of use.

I'm not sure why we waited so long after cutting the cable cord to pick up one of these Tablo devices to enhance our OTA options. It was fairly easy to set up, and the two-week program schedule is awesome, not only to see what's currently available but also for recording options. Plus, you can watch live TV on your phone through the app. Very happy with this device.

It seems to glitch at times but I like how you can use it on all my home devices.Set up was also fairly easy .

I pair this up with a outside antenna. I activated it with with the Ethernet port with no problem. It has quirks, it freezes, it sometimes won't delete a program. I also can record programs on over 80 channels. I paid less than 1 month of the cost of cable to do the same thing. I wish mine had 4 tuners as they have for sale now because there are times I can not record all the programs I wish to. Tablo 4th is money well spent.

This little device is going to save me a ton of money. I have had it for two weeks. I paired it with the Clearstream 4Max Antenna and I love it. I will say that I needed to switch from wifi to ethernet in order to get the best streaming performance. The interface is terrific. Way better than the xfinity interface that I used to have. I really can't believe that I didn't buy this sooner

I bought this product at a local retailer to replace my first Tablo. It doesn't work! You need an Ios phone to setup the Wi-Fi, it doesn't work with my Roku stick and it's failing on recordings. They claim that this will all be fixed in a future software release, but they should have released a finished product. A recent software update made an improvement on buffering problems, but it is still struggling to connect to my network by ethernet. Recordings stop randomly. I have to reboot daily and restart my network. The 1st generation worked great.

It works ok but they like a lot of attention. I can’t seem to ff or rewind recordings and they like the same wifi network name. Of course it doesn’t require a subscription while most if them do.

We bought this for Christmas, thought it would be great to be able to record, pause, stop, rewind and fast forward. BUT, we noticed when a program is done and you want to go to another channel it freezes, you have to back out and start all over, we usually miss the first 5 mins of the next show. sometimes it goes to the set up screen

When it works it is great. Small enough to locate in communications cabinet and Ethernet connect to router. I have experienced issues with menu such as not being allowed to record an NFL game and having difficulties recording a single game and not a series of games. I would recommend the 4 tuner model because it anything is recording you do not get video when fast forwarding through commercials.

The 4th gen Tablo is a wonderful OTA DVR device. The recordings are very high quality. It's imposdible to differentiate between a recoding and live tv (except you can fast forward trough commercials). We love the detailed programming guide, it rivals the guide provided be the cable and satellite providers.

Works great! My indoor antenna is a little sketchy, but when the weather’s good the Tablo works perfectly. I use the IOS & FireTV clients via WiFi. Nice UI & makes access to the device easy. Streams hours & hours of OTA programming w/o any issues. It’s been a solid performer. Def recommend.

It works on ipad and selected tv ,not on samsung tv.

The Tablo device was relatively easy to install and operate. I use my existing Roku device to control it. It's nice to record programs and play them back when our schedule is better. Video quality is fine.

Do not buy. No real support from Tablo. My unit never worked correctly and after a few short months died. Tablo will send out new unit but cannot guarantee that unit will work any better. I asked for the refund that Tablo social media promised in writing. I was told no refund. if you have one and have a problem I would suggest filing complaint with BBB and not wasting time with Tablo customer support.

Has worked excellent in all areas. Better than the old model I had.

I don't know if I got a faulty unit or if this thing just is terrible. I've spent the better part of the last twelve hours trying to get it to work. I finally got it up and running and the guide loaded, but it kept becoming unresponsive after I'd schedule a recording and I would have to wait two or three minutes for it to allow me to schedule another recording. The final straw was when I checked the recordings it did today all I had were multiple 2 or 3 minute snippets of the shows. I then tried to watch a program live and it kept timing out. These are channels that my Tivo picks up and records and streams without issue. I am returning this unit and continue with the set up that I have now. Maybe I'll give it another change in a year or two.

The major issue with Tablo is that it doesn’t have an HDMI port most TVs have not all have those ports. Couldn’t get it to work with my Apple TV device, which it says works with. Would not recognize my local channels from two different areas like my TV does their Customer Service doesn’t help you don’t speak English very well. Don’t even know the product very well returning the item for credit.

Just bought it today and it was so easy to set up it connected to my T-Mobile 5g home Internet with no problem i would recommend this device to anyone and everyone im very happy with it
