working great now but kept having to reboot every few days at first

I'm very happy with the Tablo. I use it with antenna TV and it works great to record shows to watch later. Their tech support is very helpful if you have questions while setting it up.

I very much want this Tablo to work with my current setup, but alas... There's no app available for LG TVs that support this model. Even worse the Roku app buffers incessantly. The picture freezes and breaks. I'm consistently able to get good video quality with the iPhone I used to set this up, but nothing else seems to work. Looking online I'm not the only person who's had trouble with their Roku app. I'm going to hold onto this, they're only one good app refresh away from it working, but buyer beware if you buy this for yourself.

Works great! Channels come in crystal clear and DVR records like a champ!

Tends to glitch when signal strength is low, app will sometimes stop abruptly .

Very easy install. Works as advertised. Dry happy with purchase.

This thing is very disappointing. Very poor design, no remote, no previous channel button, the guide is as slow as molasses and laggy. Takes 10 button pushes on the remote to get anyplace, as you have to literally back out of every place you go. No number buttons to directly access anything. Has missed half of set up recordings in the 15 days I've had it. Cuts out and reboots constantly. Says "no internet connection" when its hardwired (ethernet cable) and I have 200-300 mbps download speed. This piece of junk has caused more buffering, lag, and missed recordings, then I've encountered in the last 20 years with Directv DVR's and Tivo's, combined. It's a prehistoric design compared to any DVR I've ever worked with. Never again. Tablo better go back to the drawing board and come up with something better than this.

It works good after the set-up, better prefromiss flowing the update.

Works well at times, but has a lot of hiccups that makes it pretty bad at times

Tablo does everything it is advertising. Had issues wiring the antenna from my house to the table, but once I installed the antenna cable directly into the tablo instead of into the house, and then from a walljack into the tablo, all the issues disappeared.

Good have not learned everything about it .Still learning

Got my hopes up for nothing. Ordered 4 tuner newest version. But it won't connect to my hot spot. After calling tech support multiple times it's still useless. Wish I hadn't bought it.

So far working great, when I first got it I had problems so I emailed Tablo tech support, I got a person who does precision guesswork based on unreliable data provided by people of questionable knowledge...

A bit tricky to set up but well worth the extra effort.

Works great! Has multiple options to find programs. No monthly fee. Only 2 complaints. No option to remove commercials from recordings and can only watch when connected to home wifi.

We bought this only to find it will not work with Samsung TV’s. The bad thing is they are not planning to upgrade it any time soon. Why not list which televisions so you do not waste your time.

When I had a channel on it didn't fit my screen. Kept saying no internet. Just didn't like it so I returned it.

Do not buy this product. The Tablo works at times but not always. Just this past weekend they had what they call a server outage and a lot of folks lost access to Tablo and their TV. It was never made clear what happened, you had to call their HelpDesk to find out. None of their recommended solutions work. And their response is that they're working on it and just wait a few more hours. Well it's been 48 hours. Trust me, do not buy this product. There has to be a better option out there.

Sent it back to Best Buy it quick working and I want

I’ll be returning this. I wanted to love it. When I forst hooked it up it only saw two of my TV. I uninstalled and reinstalled several tomes. It finally saw all of my TVs, but then it lost them. I contacted Tablo support. They work with you via email. Last time I heard from them was a week ago, so I am giving up. I don’t recommend the hassle. Oh, and when it did work, changing channels was very slow - not like changing channels on normal anternna TV.
