Customer Ratings & Reviews

Replaced my Fire Recast due to hardware issues that Amazon could not fix. This is pretty good but not the most responsive and sometimes buffers and doesn't load a channel.

I love Tablo. I am able to record shows that I miss. Tablo brings movies and etc clear ,even sound comes in much clearer and louder, Tablo the color on my tv shows seem much brighter. Very easy to install and use.I wish I would have heard about Tablo sooner.. When I went to Best Buy I asked employee what to buy to record my shows and he suggested Tablo. The employee at Best Buy was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions.

We live a long distance from over air broadcasts. We have a deep fringe antennae. We connected the Tablo to the antennae and now we have over the air stations in every room. (Uses Wi- fi to achieve this). We also receive over 12 additional stations just from adding Tablo and have all of the major networks all in every room we have TV’s and compatible devices. We can record and schedule recordings. Set up was easy. Installation was easy. The only negative is that occasionally we have to re- boot and re-connect. It only takes a few moments. That could be due to power surges in our rural location. Tablo created a Gamechanger experience for over the air TV for us.

The Tablo unit is very user friendly with many options to work with. The DVR portion is also a great feature to be able to record to watch later when life gets busy.

My husband was looking for a better option to watch football this season without needing to stream. After researching antennas, I came across Tablo and decided to purchase since we would also be able to pause and record the games (no monthly subscriptions also made this an immediate add to cart). This product has been a GAMECHANGER in our house for not only watching all the big games for free, but also local channels plus the big four (NBC, ABC, etc.) and a lot more for free. Installation was easy and took less than 10 minutes. We downloaded the Tablo app and it walked us through exactly how to connect and install. Since we were also setting up an antenna at the same time, a great feature in the app walked us through how to find the best location in our home for optimal antenna reception. After getting Tablo set up, I was really impressed with the UI. It was clean and very easy to navigate. Having not paid for cable in years (aka living with our parents) it had the same look/feel. We were able to immediately set up a few shows (and of course every football game) to record. Since Tablo works off Wi-Fi another benefit is that we can use it on any TV in our home- which means Monday night football in the mancave and the Bachelorette upstairs (DEFINITELY a win). We have several TVs in our home and use both a Roku and Firestick and have had no issues using with either. Having had the device for a few weeks now and exploring the channel offerings, we are working on reevaluating the streaming services we pay for since there are now so many shows we now get for free. Overall, would highly recommend Tablo for anyone looking for a better way to access local channels and enhance their OTA experience.

Pretty good product. I bought it to replace a fire Tv recast. had problems with the guide/scheduling service but that was a problem for all users for a month. Tablo inc kept me informed of the problem and that they were working toward a solution. It affected me in being able to record the evening news. I like the fact that there are no service charges.

So sorry I wasn't able to use it, I have a Vizio tv, and Tablo isn't compatible with my tv. I have to return it

Overall, it works well but it has few flaws. The guide window can't be viewed will also showing current show. If you are not careful about exiting the each time, it locks. You then have to do a forced stop. After which it will load right.

I've had the Tablo for a few months now and was worried about the purchase because some of the reviews. For me, it's been absolutely perfect for my needs. I bought a nice antenna, hooked it up and have been happily watching HD local channels on TV's throughout my house. DVR works great too. Very pleased with it

This was neat little device. You can put it anywhere so long as you can connect to WiFi, which gives you so freedom as to where to place the antenna, and you can then use it with multiple TVs and devices. Receiver was good, but it does tend to punt on weak signals giving you nothing. Biggest issue was, while my current generation LG TV had a Tablo app, it wasn't compatible with this model. It only supported older models. I had to run it off a Roku, which isn't as convenient.

I attempted to connect to the Tablo using the windows app and then the android app. While using the android app I received the message “an unknown error has occurred if the problem persists, please contact support (the phone number and e-mail address was given for support). I then opted to use the windows app on the Microsoft store. I downloaded and installed the Tablo app from the Microsoft software store. The Microsoft app directed me to connect to the wifi name of Tablo_xxx. I connected to wifi name Tablo_9677, and disabled the windows firewall for 1 hour. The Microsoft app was unable to find the Tablo. I attempted an HTT connection using chrome web browser to the default gateway of 192.168.10.1, however the web page only said “Nuvyyo Tablo Server”. The directions in the Tablo app from Microsoft were no help at all. I was unable to connect to the Tablo with the android app nor the windows app. At 9:43pm MDT I placed a call to Tablo support. After one hour of hold time, I get the recorded message, “there are no agents available to take your call. Please call back later.” In the end, the only app that was able to connect to the Tablo was the chrome web browser, but that default page had nothing to click on. I could do nothing but be frustrated with the junk Tablo I had purchased from Best Buy. Ladies and gentlemen, I can not recommend you purchase a Tablo, because setup wizard does not work, and therefore, the Tablo does not operate.

Good device, difficult to find local signals but finally located a spot for the antenna. Good recorder, better than the big tv providers, and its all free. Paid $99 then Best Buy ran it for $59 after my 15 day limit.

Well worth it. East to set up. Records television in great clarity. Nice menu for searching tv shows. Very happy.

This works great 95% of the time. Tablo does have some periodic outages

I like that there is no ongoing subscription for guide data. The UI is a nice improvement from the older Tablo models. Setup was easy. The hardware is very refined and beautiful. Seems to run much cooler than the older models. Downsides - no way to watch recordings on a PC or Mac. No way to automatically skip commercials as the old models do. No out of home viewing or streaming. I ended up returning mine and going back to my old Tablo Quad that's still working great and still skipping commercials on my recordings!

The Tablo TV 4th Gen is the prefect solution for my basement television to get OTA channels where there is no broadcast signal. I placed the antenna upstairs where I had a strong signal and now I can easily stream those channels downstairs. The set up is very easy in the iOS app, and the app & channel guide on Google TV (Sony) is really easy to use. With this set up I canceled YouTube TV and am now saving almost $80/mo. *Disclaimer: I am a Best Buy employee, but do not work with Tablo. It is just a genuinely good product.

Not what I expected. I had an older version that died after a power outage. It worked great, but this 4th generation is junk. works ok on some Roku devices but not on all. Works fine in my office but not on Roku connecter to LG TV. Will not pick up local live channels. I have upgraded al lmy devices still does not work. I would mot recommend this device to anyone.

Pleased with the function of this device. However I wish it was more user friendly as well as connecting to the tv.

Nice job making a digital guide with antenna reception and wifi connection to TVs and devices. Concept is good, but the device itself is buggy, bloated with slop free streaming content. When you "channel search" it includes hundreds of slop channels with the ones you're trying to get--the antenna channels. Can only remove the channels one by one, so I spent probably 20 minutes removing unwanted channels. Then the thing crashes every once in awhile. When it's not being used it still runs very HOT. What's the processor doing while I'm not using it? I dunno. Good concept but maybe even at 4th gen I'm still paying to beta test someone's device. When it does work I've got a nice HD picture of the local station carrying the game, so I'll give it that as a positive.

OTA at its best. Also a guide and dvr that lets you see two weeks out. My pic shows a 500gb ssd. also attached to increase storage to well over 200 hrs. 50 hrs without it.
