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.

I would recommend this to a friend Good but could be better
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got Tablo after I canceled cable. This will be great alternative when they get software right. Had trouble adding an external hard drive. Company doesn’t tell you it has to be one with its own power supply. Roku app is iffy to. I got this for local stations but do love having a DVR.

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.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Upgraded from a Recast.

BEST "TABLO-TV" 4th Gen Tuner EVER MADE
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I tell U what! This is the latest model & it works to perfection. It's easy once you get the format figured out by just following directions. It's pretty too!
I would recommend this to a friend Great local option
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great option for off air local channels, plus tons of other channels, once I set it up i got over 100 channels for free.

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.
