Customer Ratings & Reviews

Works great when a strong and consistent signal can be tuned in. The guide is well done and the DVR is very good. I wish the guide would default to the defined favorites list instead of having to select it each time. The navigation after watching or exiting a recording could also be better. The interface can be a bit slow

I have been using Tablo for years. I absolutely love my older version. I am a little disjointed this new version doesn't allow remote viewing when your not at home anymore. Although they say they are working on it. That really would be the only thing I don't like about the new model. Otherwise it is excellent for recording multiple channels. oh wait. I also don't know if they are working on it or not, but the previous model would do commercial skip as well. Again though I love Tablo and it is really easy to setup and use. I never miss any shows.

Seems to be working as expected. Added a 1 TB hard drive, installed a new antenna, get 122 channels total. Records in good quality, have plenty of choices to chose from and saves me around $115.00 a month over cable.

Set up was so easy. Only took about 15 minutes and DVR ran channel scan and found 79 channels. Not counting the 30 or so streaming channels that they include with the DVR. Tablo put everything in a guide easy to understand easy to record and you can pick the channels you want to keep or the ones you want to delete. Would definitely recommend this for anybody that wants an over the air DVR.

The tablo is very good overall and nearly perfect. The things it needs are a fadter processor partickuarly for multiple tvs watching from seperate rooms. Also it needs an ability to schedule recordi gs remotly. Other than those things the tablo is great, it records awesome accomodates a larger external drive size than any other system i am aware of.

The Tablo is easy to use for basic TV, and very basic compared to my old TIVO. As the DVR does not include commercial skip, and the guide does not have the jump to the next day function (which is helpful when just reviewing Prime Time programming.

Great option for antenna tv viewing. Love that one connection gives you the ability to view on any tv or other streaming device what is running or recorded on Tableau through my home internet. Software is fairn but coukd use better fast forwarding and recording scheduling. Also access outside the home is needed.

I received the unit setup was straight forward and uneventful. One day my tablet started taking too long to load the Tablo home screen. I rebooted the unit. That seemed to fix the issue. A few days later i tried to sccess the Tablo and couldn't connect. Upon further examination I found that the unit was powered off. Nothing i did got the unit to power again. I returned the unit.

I upgraded to the 4-tuner from the 2-turner so that I would no longer have conflicts on the days when there are more than two shows that I want to record. The Tablos are great, but I did have to get a surge protector to plug this one into as my previous on quit working right after multiple surges. The best part of recording my shows this way as opposed to streaming them is that I can fast forward thru the commercials and with the Tablo it will show you when you are fast forwarding.

The DVR portion is a little disappointing because it won't let you start from the beginning if you turn on the program after it's already started recording , you have to wait until the recording is completed and then go back to start from the beginning!

works great with great interface with tv easy to use onscreen app. with easy to use recording functions wonderful item for getting rid cable or satelite services easy to set up

I'd had the previous gen Tablo for years and loved it. This new 4th Gen locks up all the time, and the tuner is not as good as our old one. Sorry I 'upgraded'.

Works wonderful, excellent dvr, easy to add additional storage. Seldom connection issues, requires reboot.

Replaced a Tivo. Easy setup. Gets a lot more stations with the same antenna. Works with multiple players but seems to work best with the Roku Ultra. Miss the auto skip on commercials but that's minor.

I have had this product for 14 months now. Would I recommend it,,,NO WAY!!! BEWARE!!! This only works well with newer TVs(2019 or newer) and is ONLY DESIGNED TO WORK WELL WITH CERTAIN TABLETS AND PHONES. Go to the Tablo website to see which brand tablets/phones they are supposed to work with. I say "supposed to work with" as I have Samsung tablets that are "supposed to work with" and I have NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS GETTING THE CRAPPY APP TO STREAM AND WORK ON THE TABLET, IF IT WORKS AT ALL!!! THE APP HAS THE LOWEST RATING I HAVE EVER SINCE ON AN APP!!! THE ONE SAMSUNG TABLET, I CAN GET AUDIO BUT NO VIDEO!!! And forget about technical support!!! Not only were they NO HELP in solving the issues, they didn't even know that there was a history of the problems. They tried to say it was my internet speed until I directed tech support to their own websites that talked about those problems and how Tablo had no idea what the problem was or if they WOULD EVER have a fix for them!!! So, if you want to buy it and try it out, YOU MUST KNOW WHAT THE RETURN POLICY IS ON THE DEVICE AND IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE DEVICE AND DON'T LIKE HOW IT WORKS, KNOW THAT THE PROBLEMS WILL NEVER BE FIXED BY TABLO, SO RETURN IT, GET YOUR MONEY BACK AND GO TRY SOMETHING ELSE THAT MIGHT WORK BETTER!!! Believe me, this low rating is accurate and not just someone ranting.

Wireless TV recorder - does a pretty good job recording over the air programs once I worked out the glitches

We loved our Fire TV Recast but Amazon support of the product is minimal since it’s been discontinued. And since it has become buggy, this was perfect replacement, easy to use easy to set up. I just wish it integrated into the fire TV as cleanly as the recast did instead of using an app.

I have had the two channel version of the Tablo Tuner/DVR for a couple of years, so when they came out with the 4 channel unit, I bought one immediately. The Tablo tuners are sensitive and work well as long as you have a decent antenna. The one I bought came with an antenna but I replaced it with an even bigger flat antenna for even more receiving area. I get about 30 over the air channels in my area which is central Texas and I’m about 50 miles from the transmitters to my southwest. In addition the Tablo will record most of the provided internet channels. A few don’t record, apparently because it isn’t allowed, but most do record and play well. So I have a 2TB flash drive attached to my Tablo and I can records lots of programs for later watching. The only thing you should consider is that recording the internet channels requires a pretty fast internet connection, so my 25MBps internet connection won’t record four internet channels at the same time. Maybe two, but not four. This isn’t the fault of the Tablo, just my internet speed. Overall I have found the Tablo is very useful. Recommended.

Not reliable. Attempting to make adjustments to make it usable. Seems to work better after reducing antenna amplification. Recording seem better than watching live. However if issue occurs while recording, waste of time. Considering returning. If can resolve issue soon will return, hence at this can not recommend.

I have owned a 1st Gen Tablo Quad tuner device for 5 or six years. It has worked great and I wanted to upgrade to this new 4th Gen unit because development has been halted on the old unit. I have had no issues with this new unit. I added an external hard drive so store the shows I wanted because I knew that the onboard storage would eventually not be enough. The guide works nice and the setup was very easy. I will recommend that you connect this device via ethernet if you can to your network or at least have a very strong wifi signal for it. I have it connected via ethernet and have had no issues watching my shows on any of my tvs (via roku devices) in my house.
