    This device has an unneccesarily complex user interface and it lacks the necessary RF sensitivity, failing to pickup even strong TV signals. It frequently fails to record TV shows. A great concept, but it needs substantial improvements if it is to meet customer needs.

      Sorry you're running into that.

      It's possible that your Tablo DVR's TV amplifier is drowning out your signal. You should be able to switch it off in settings.

      This may help with recording as well. If not though, please consider reaching out to our technical support team, they should be able to help. TabloTV

    The manual advertises you can do PVR and time shift. This is a complete lie! Even though it's perfectly legal to do time shift and PVR in the United States, these idiots, Hisense, have disabled it in this television. Definitely would not buy again!

      This seems to be a review for Hisense.

    Tablo admits their device does not work with ANY Roku. They have said for a month now that they are going to fix it. But there is no projected date! Do not buy!

    This product did not perform well. I am very disappointed in this device. I tried several different locations to place my antenna and was unable to get all local channels clearly and consistently. Not worth the money.

    It's a nice unit and with the help of quality tech support in India not difficult to set up, but it can't get many of the channels about 65 miles away that my Sony Smart TV can get when hooked up directly.

      Sorry you're running into that.

      Your TV likely has 1 tuner, whereas your Tablo has 2 - 4. Tuners are great in that they allow you to view/record multiple shows at the same time. However, they also split your signal. This is likely what is happening. A different TV antenna location or a strong TV antenna may work. TabloTV
