    Good overall purchases bu the Tablo has a couple of technical issues, freezes sometimes when either playing from Live TV or from a recording.

    Doesn't work. I can not set it up WIFI. I have to use the ethernet cord plugged into my router then it will work WIFI. It has two setup settings, WIFI and Ethernet. I can only get it to work on ethernet. Phone customer service forget it. I have sat on the phone for hours after the recorded message stating the weight time is 12 minutes or 9 minutes only to get a message to call back later after an hour waiting on the phone. Happens ever time I call. Emailing is no better. Got an automated response telling me they received my message but no one ever emailed me back. I may have a bad one but since their customer service does not respond I will just return it,

    Plug a $10. Zip drive in the USB on the back of your Tv, and you can stop, rewind, fast forward, pause. I also have a $30. Antenna for the roof, to get the local live channels. A lot cheaper than tablo

    Poorly engineered device. If you don't have crystal clear, perfect reception the video will freeze. Setup is a complete pain because it'll tell you that you are waiting for the device but it never does anything.

    Disappointed

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

    This is a replacement Tablo. They are a quirky mess. The premise is a good idea, but the software is a complete disaster. This think is guaranteed to fail during a live sporting event and just regular OTA viewing. It is not the antenna. It is Tablo just failing to function.

      On no :( Have you reached out to our support team about this? If you can also send them a video of the failing, they'll be able to investigate what's going on. TabloTV

    This thing is just what I wanted to catch OTA programs when I'm busy with other things. It works fantastically and the programing on the app is first class. I would recomend this.

    Dont buy if your an existing customer!

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

    I am a current tablo costomer with a tabli lite. I bought into the hype of purchasing a tablo 4th generation. Major mistake. Setup is not easy, moving from one tablo to another, as they are on different apps and dont recognize your existing account. But the main problem....the 4th generation will not read your saved stuff from your hard drive that was attached to the old tablo. That makes no sense! And tablo does not make that well known on their website. I have a ton of stuff still on my hard drive, so that makes the upgrade pretty useless to me. But the tablo company is MAKING me pay return shipping for something that they didnt make clear on their website. So if you have an existing tablo, dont bother buying a new one if you have things on your hard drive. And the company will not work with there customers on this issue. Wont be buying any new tablos in the future from this company!

    Waste of money. Only marginal reception from cheap antenna even though I live in a major US city. It is also a gimmick to promote purchasing for pay subscriptions.

    Buyer beware

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

    This product doesn’t work for seniors who don’t have a smart tv. Nowhere on their commercials do they say that you have to have a smart tv. There’s only 1 coaxial cable input on the device, no output coaxial. Has a cat 5-6 cable to run to a modem. So unless you have a smart television or a car 5/6 input on the television, no way of using the device. You’re setting a bad example selling this product to an 80 year old senior citizen. After scanning channels, sure it may come up with 20-30-60 channels, it doesn’t mean you can watch all the channels it says it gives you! Buyers beware!

    It worked three days and died,not sure if it was just the unit I bought but not a good thing, haven’t returned it due to busy lifestyle, so I guess I have a expensive paperweight.

    I have had this for about 2 weeks. It’s not great always reverts back to guide especially right in the middle of watching something. I have done everything possible resetting and still doesn’t work right. I am going to exchange and try a different one a see if maybe it’s defective. If it doesn’t change then will return for a refund. Will keep you posted and update my progress.
