Customer Ratings & Reviews

The long-awaited 4th-Gen 4-tuner Tablo is here and it doesn't disappoint! Installation and set up was a snap and using it through my Amazon Fire Cube (2nd Gen) works well. There were a few minor hiccups initially with the Tablo app (for Amazon Fire) but it is recommended that the latest firmware for the unit be installed as soon as you set it up. Caveat: I have a older Firestick attached to a TV in another room which the Tablo app cannot run on so if you plan to use existing Amazon Fire devices, you might have to make sure they will work with the Tablo app. Otherwise, you may have to upgrade them to a newer generation or use some other device (Roku or SmartTV).

Does exactly what we needed it to do! We decided to cut the apron strings with Directv. Best decision we have made. Very easy to use. Able to record everything we need over the air waves using our antenna for the major networks.

Worked well - when it worked. It seemed like every time I went to use it for some reason I would have trouble logging into it. It was frustrating to use due to that. Picture quality and ease of use was great when I could get it to work.

i followed the setup instructions on line and it installed with no problems.the recordings come out great.well worth it.

Worthless piece of junk. Had multiple issues with ROKU devices, known in December didn't issue supposed working upgrade until February. The thing still drops off losing the Tablo, even after putting it in the same room as the router . You want to spend half your life reading the Tablo forum and moving it around the house trying to make it work for more than 30 minutes...then this is the device for you. I run numerous other apps for video such as Youtube TV and Frndly tv, or others, and they don't crash or freeze one percent of what this thing does. Bought it right around new years, maybe it has worked for one hour without dropping ..maybe all of two times.

Needs more work on the software. The 2 tuner is flawless, but somehow this 4 th gen, 4 tuner doesn’t quite get it.

It could be better, it occasionally loses the pictures in the guide and randomly closes, it could be a fire stick problem but I have the 4K max, Cube and another just 4K and they all do it randomly. I noticed if I don't close the app by choosing Exit Tablo you get more problems but I also blame this partially on Amazon because they should make a way to close apps and clear cache without buying or installing an app to do so. Anyways Tablo works OK but does need some improvement. I left Plex using my HD-Home run because the interface is awful. Tablo has a better interface but also has some issues. Hopefully they will continue to make it better lets hope at least.

I love my 4 tuner tablo. I previously had an AirTV which was flaky and sometimes I couldn't watch recorded shows. Or the AirTv recorded a different station in the middle of a recording. The software for the tablo (via a Firestick) is much nicer than the AirTv. I love the Thumbnails in the recordings, it makes it much easier to fast forward. All in all, I am happy with my purchase.

Navigation can be difficult. Buttons on Samsung controller are not user friendly. Using return button is helpful. Recording and watching takes several steps. Pixilation can be a problem.

A lot different than my TIVO. A couple of my channels have no guide data showing on the Tablo, so you can't record on those channels. Customer service says there's nothing they can do about missing data, but I have that data on my TIVO. It does work good to watch recorded programs.

well it records very difficult to use also the antenna i bought still does not work good you should have someone to answer questions after purchase i even went to another best buy to ask questions

Awesome device. Much more stable than Sling DVR. Software does hang a little, but i just back out and get back in. Only wish it used profiles for different viewers.

Cut cable can record live tv. Wish it just had options for live tv and showes over internet.

It's not working on my tv's. I dont have smart tv's, but i do have chromecast and still can't cast to my tv's. I wish i had know that i needed something else to cast to my tv's.

Works as intended for OTA recording, provides quite a few internet channels for viewing

Love my Tablo. Easy to use and set up and able to watch from any of my 4 TV's. Recordings are great and live programs are amazing to watch

Surprised how good this box is! Over the air channels that typically fade in and out come in clearly and can be watched and used as a dvr. Shared with family and friends and fixing to grab another one for my son.

Fantastic over the air recorder. It also helps set up your antenna and results in better antenna reception than without the Tablo hooked up. Highly recommend! One services three of my TVs , each on different floor of my home, through an app on each TV.

Useful on my tablet but my samsung tv has webrowuser but cant go to tablo or to playsore to get app so even though it is smart tv with other apps wont let me update any apps. I guess 6 yesrs new it is time to upgrade tv so as to watch tablo on tv instead of tablet or phone. Would like to know what tv works with tablo like samsung, lg, etc by tablo website. They mention samsung not supported as of yet. I think software has to be android on tv not priorty software? Hopefully i will find out?

Pretty easy to install and setup. Channels search went fast. Too many clicks to get to the live TV guide and the remote doesn’t have numbers so you have to scroll and scroll to get high number channels. Small white device. App plays video content via the ROKU box. App wont install on Visio TVs yet so i had to buy another ROKU box. Recording feature was much better than Channel Master. Device uses location info from your wifi router.
