Buy a Tablo!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Tablo 4 channel tuner is great for recording OTA shows so I can watch them later in the same evening. It works great and they are constantly updating and improving the interface.
I would recommend this to a friendIt's good needs help
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great but iffy when new updates come in. Also lags an brks up recordings of TV show occasionally. Sound with recording off track could be much better still has some glitches. . seriously glitches when plug in a USB flash drive doesn't work at all

Tablo 4th Gen
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy to setup and use.

REALLY disappointed.
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was foolish enought to wait to install this thing. Very quirky. Only works on 1 TV for me. There is an "internet issue" accessing TV on the others. Missed watching a playoff game on ONLY TV that worked...their service is down and Tablo is having "technical difficulties." Again, day 1...had I not waited so long I'd absolutely be returning this piece of junk

Posted .Sorry you ran into that,
Unfortunately, on Saturday, January 18th 2025, we experienced a brief server outage. While it was quickly resolved, we certainly understand any frustration caused. We have been putting significant effort in an update that will allow our 4th Generation models to play OTA TV when such an outage occurs. While we can’t give an ETA yet, rest assured it’s a top priority on our end.

The user interface is easy to use so managing recording is a snap.

Doesn’t work with a Vizio TV
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I will be more impressed with this antenna if I could use it with my television. I mistakenly bought two.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Does the job.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works well. Takes a bit of getting used to the interface after many years of using cable, and we needed to play with antenna placement to get the best reception of all the channels we wanted.

Tablo review
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It is intermittent for channels. Overall good and happy to use
I would recommend this to a friendSo far so good BUT...
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I can watch locals on two smart tv's but not on 2 that have Roku's, that were recently purched with this product, attached after a Roku update. I did not want to run coax to 3 of the other tv's along with a splitter and booster so I opted for this. I had a little issue after a power surge that was corrected by unplugging the unit for a few minutes and plugging back in.

Internet access required
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I found out the hard way that tablo 4th gen requires internet connection to function, you cannot watch recordings if there's no Internet access

Tablo
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great dvr, I am enjoying being able to record numerous shows at the same time while watching another channel. I also like that I can fast forward past ads.

BEST "TABLO-TV" 4th Gen Tuner EVER MADE

I would recommend this to a friend Great OTA solution
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Upgraded from a Recast. Setup required a couple of reboots but picks up 128 channels via antenna and 65 streaming channels. Works well on the phone and Amazon Firestick. The free 2 week channel guide is nice. I would recommend.
