Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great addition to my viewing lineup..recording option for worthwhile network programming…no recurring billing..including the cost of high speed wi-fi, still a fraction of what I spent on cable tv…

Love having a DVR for my OT TV channels. Make sure to get a good external Hard drive too. Gives better performance with storing and transmitting uncompressed video. Be aware that they dropped the remote viewing connection service so watch while you are at home only.

I am really happy with this, overall much better than recast box.

This works wonderfully EXCEPT you can't view your recordings away from home. I have the older model still and I love it.

Realy enjoy my Tablo. Missed the fact that I would miss some of my favotite shows when I did away cable. With my 4th gen 4-tuner Tablo I no longer have that problem. And with the 4-tuner don't have to worry about 2 or 3 shows being on at the same. I can watch one and record the others, or if I'm out it will record all of them. Great product. So happy I bought it. Highly reccomend.

Good over the air DVR. I have the original generation and it has less bugs and you can pay to get rid of commercials. This generation tends to close the app on Roku when you are watching with closed caption on or on replay. It has to be turned off. That is there solution but I'm hoping an update will take care of it. The menu isn't user friendly when the older model is. But, it still has advantages. No cost for a 2 week Tv Guide to see what is on and for scheduling recording. Get the 4 tuner, it is worth the difference. If you watch over the air TV, this is great!

Simple set up, connect to your home network in the app. Connect to an antenna that is placed in the home for best reception of the most over the air channels in your metro area. The app will help with directional placement when zip code is entered. Highest place in the home is usually best. Scan for channels in the app. If your results are not satisfactory, redirect the antenna and rescan until you are able to get the most channels in your area. Download the Blue tablo app to your streaming devices, and start watching TV. I very impressed with the wifi streaming quality of the device, but ended up hard wiring to the home network with an ethernet cable. The fact that it has wifi capability, means you can set it up wherever in the home you get the best antenna signal. The DVR functions very well, and you get some extra streaming channels from Tablo as well. I waited for the 4 tuner version to come out because we like to use our DVR. For less than the price of one month’s satellite service, I have cut the cord and saved myself over 2 thousand dollars for the year! I highly recommend the new Table 4 tuner with DVR to anyone who would like to do the same.

The service is really good if you can get it working. I had a heck of a torrid time getting the network setup on this. It's got a wired network and I can see the device in my router, but it insists on using the wireless network and I never got the 4 tuner Tablo to work. Actually I did get it connected once, but then it wouldn't download any OTA channels. Just the streaming ones that I don't care about. Good hardware. Abysmal software.

Setup took a couple of trys, but once it was setup it works great. Could use better usage instructions.

Will not connect to Roku fire stick but will to the tv

I've waited to review the Tablo until I've had a while to get accustomed to it. Now that I've used it for over a month, I can honestly say it works well, and I'm able to watch live programs, schedule programs to be recorded, and, after I've watched the recorded programs, delete them from the external hard drive I purchased to accompany the Tablo, which was a one-time purchase and didn't cost a lot of money.

I never write reviews and this Tablo is terrible, i have tried two atennas with a roku and reception is spotty at best. Want to watch tv in a snow storm, nope. How about a rain storm, nope. Oh i got one how about a wind storm, that is a no. So unless you have perfect conditions you will not have a great connection. The app sometimes loads and if it does pray you do not have a playback error. Do youself a favor and avoid this product. Also there is no Apple TV app for the 4 gen.

I really like this product. It was easy to setup, and worked well. Antenna choice is important. But the device was cost effective and simple to use

It was easy to set up. I can add the tablo app to my other devices and access my antenna channels. Works good. The guide layout is very nice

Great product. Excellent streaming and recording. It also gave me access to over 110 channels.

This works great. I am on my way to cutting the cord, and I had been waiting to get this DVR. It finally came up on the deal of the day and I picked it up at a great price. It is easy to set up and get running, and works like a dream. Plug and play expandability too!

So far it works as well as the older model I had. I do like the added channels and extended antenna strength.

Had the older 4 tuner unit. It always had glitches. The new one is different but still has glitches.

I wanted to see if we could live a life without cable. The past couple of years, we have downgraded Comcast to just basic cable and wanted to see if we could save more by just using terrestrial TV. I have to say after a week, the answer is yes. Is it more convenient to use Cable, yes. Is it worth the $50/month that we will save dropping cable TV, also yes. I use this with 2 Roku devices and they behave pretty well. The guide is not perfect, but I have been working with Tablo to get it fixed

Multiple channels, easy recording, easy setup, plenty of storage space.
