    I replaced my cable service with Tablo and haven't looked back. Savings of more than $200 a month. And I'm still have the ability to record my news shows.

    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

    There's obviously still some bugs to be worked out and there is much room for improvement, but it does everything I wanted as a recent cord cutter. Very happy with this purchase.

    This device relies on the signal from my antenna. That makes this item as reliable as a sunny day.

    I am happy with the Tablo. I had originally purchased the two tuner version but quickly realized how it may limit me in the long run. For the extra $40 it was worth it since its something I will use for years to come. I use it through Roku and on my phone and everything works great. The interface is easy to use and very clean. I did experience the Roku app glitch but there is a work around for now. Disable CC to prevent this from happening.

    I have it operating from an Apple TV and Wifi. The software in the new dvr has a couple of minor bugs. But all in all it's a welcomed addition to antenna tv watching. Plus it works well enough to accomplish its purposes.

    This device is one of the worst. Sometimes it doesn't even open up. You can't even up date the guide. This is the second one I have owned because the first one quit working. I thought I did something wrong on the first one so I bought the second to find out how it works and it is junk.

    Haven’t used it much. Video quality and lag are a problem. Also, it won’t locate all the locals off the same antenna I used with a digital tuner with no problem. Not too pleased with it.
