I would recommend this to a friendTablo
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Miss the commercial skip, but overall great product
I would recommend this to a friendNO GOOD!!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I DO NOT recommend this product to anyone. It kept malfunctioning. I would have to reboot it up to FIVE times during a 2 hour period! It didn’t always record the programs it was supposed to or would only record a portion of it. Skipping the commercials and ability to record were the ONLY reasons I purchased this thing. I returned it! DON’T waste your money!!

Would be great if it worked!
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This thing is great when it works. Unfortunately that's only about half the time, if that. It is very unstable and does not play back recordings well. Often it simply does not work at all. For example, I try to access it and it tries to make me go through the initial setup all over again. Turning it off/on doesn’t help. I usually just have to wait and usually it works normally the following day. Also, when watching a recording that is still being recorded (like the news for example) it does NOT allow pausing or rewinding or fast forward. If it worked properly consistently it would be wonderful. Sadly, it does NOT, so I can NOT recommend it.

Posted .Hi Tony, sorry to hear you're having a hard time so far.
It sounds like you're encountering some connectivity issues. In this case, rebooting your router and your viewing device as well as the Tablo will help you get back to watching tv sooner.
In general we do allow pausing, rewinding and fast forwarding on in progress recordings with the exception of play back on mobile devices. If that's not the case, don't hesitate to reach out to support with additional details.
Great device!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.People report lots of problems but I have not experienced any of them on all 3 of my different Roku devices (sound bar, Ultra and 4k stick). Love this upgrade!
I would recommend this to a friendPoor reception and picture quality
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Poorer OTA reception than when hooked up directly to the TV. Also, picture quality is not as good as being hook up directly to the TV. I returned it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendJunk
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.To finicky, never showed any local channels, followed directions as one day I get 77 channels without locals and he next zero. Titled of having to play with it everyday. Never go to antenna again. Love Hulu and will stay.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendTablo TV tuner
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great that it is wi-fi connected so the antenna can be in a separate area from internet router. Bootup on Roku app is slower than I would like.
I would recommend this to a friendTablo
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was able to install device but my Sony remote does not fully function with Tablo, making it very difficult to enjoy. Also, resolution of display compared to Tivo is poor.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Tablo TV
Posted .Hi - Sony remotes may not fully function with Tablo due to compatibility reasons. Regarding display resolution, Tablo's video quality can vary based on your network and device settings. If you continue to experience poor resolution, adjusting your network settings or connecting via Ethernet might help.
Records TV shows DVR
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m quite impressed with unit. It works on my home TVs and my iPads as well. It doesn’t stream anywhere just in my house. But it records with 4 tuners.
I would recommend this to a friendGood Product
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Fast, efficient, Great product. Will greatly improve my ability to retain the programs that I might have missed in the past.
I would recommend this to a friendWorks like it should highly recommend
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great love it ,I now own a 2 tuner and a 4 tuner both are great and the extra channels and guide is excellent!
I would recommend this to a friendWaste of time
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I read all the reviews, which were bad, and I still bought it. Don't make the same mistake. Customer service tried to be helpful, but the fact is that this is not a good product. You will be using the reset button frequently, which is frustrating. And, it did not record consistently. And, it overheats. Geez, don't bother.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendLG TV
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Now that it supports LG TV I love it. Works like it should.
I would recommend this to a friendWont back warranty/Horrible Tech Support
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Buyer beware! Company will not stand behind warranty without over burdening you the purchaser. Tech support was horrible and refused to connect me to supervisor repeatedly unless I made a video demonstrating that their device (which was still under warranty) was defective and this was after following all of the other troubleshooting procedures.

Posted .Hi Frank,
Sorry you're running into this.
If you're unable to pick up a local station you may need to reposition your antenna. Beyond that, it might be viable to toggle on or off your Tablo's internal TV amplifier. Depending on the situation you might need an amplifier or a stronger antenna.
Hope this helps.
