Customers are saying
Customers are satisfied with the ease of use, WiFi connectivity, recording flexibility, and picture quality of the DUAL LITE OTA DVR with WiFi. Many appreciate the simple setup and the commercial skip feature, but some users experienced issues with buffering, occasional heat generation, and reception problems. The need for an external hard drive for storage is also a recurring theme. While the interface and program guide are generally well-received, performance inconsistencies were reported by a few users.

Records my favorite shows!
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sometimes it loses connection with my WiFi but I don’t know if the problem is Tablo or my WiFi. The commercial skip works. I like being able to skip them.

External Hard Drive Issues
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's great being able to position this any place where your antenna gets the best reception. I had two external hard drives and formatted them both on my laptop as well as the Tablo format "app" that appears on screen. It never would work with either of them even though it detected them both. One was a Western Digital My Passport Ultra that isn't very old and the other was an older Toshiba drive. If I had known it was so picky about external drives I wouldn't have paid what I did for this product. I can't see spending the money on a specific external drive when I have two in hand. So, kudos for the ability to locate the device any place in the house, but as for the drive issues; complete fail. It should work with any external drive in my opinion. If it worked without having to have a specific external drive I would give 5 stars.

Over the air dvr capable....
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Being able to send my antenna signal through my home network to all my tv's without wires alone makes it worth buying. Add a external hardrive for full dvr function or buy cloud space. This is great for those wanting to cut cable.

Good recording device overall
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It records just fine, and it's a good devise for anyone who's a cord cutter. It does require a good band width for playback though.

Great for cord cutting
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This product has worked flawlessly since purchase. I have a good antenna with OTA reception giving me about 50 stations. Tableau allows me to not only record shows and easily watch them through Roku, but also allows me with the paid service to access my library by way of my cell phone when away from home, although I only do that to entertain my grandchildren.

Overall an average performance.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.There is a lag time between installation and the OS coming online. Once you get past the issues of adjusting for clarity, the unit provides a great picture. Cold weather absolutely knocks out your reception, so the bottom line is, when it works, it works well, but it will leave you looking at a blank screen sometimes.

Great OTA DVR
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great to finally able to cut the cord completely. My main concerns about cutting the cord were: 1. Need separate antennas for 5 different TVs at my home 2. No DVR option to record my TV shows. This Tablo solves both of my concerns. I only need to find the place for the indoor antenna where the reception is strongest and connect it to this tablo. Watch the Live TV through Rokus on my TVs. So far so good. Recordings are perfect and in their original quality.

Nice device to get OTA
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works as advertised. I use it to get OTA channels in a basement location with no access to coax line, and nowhere for an antenna to receive a signal.

Overall a good product. I'm satisified.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm not real tech savvy, but setup easier than I feared. I did make a mistake in formatting my hard drive and called Tablo support. They were very friendly and me up and running in no time. The only negative I've noticed is the picture isn't as bright as other shows on my firestick or straight antenna. there seems to be a softer image, but still a good picture.

Exceeded my expectations
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This little Tablo DVR/tuner works great. I connected it to the antenna in the attic and to an external hard drive, let it find stations and started watching crystal clear tv. I was worried about how well the box would interface with an Apple TV and a Roku that we use. Both work great. Accessing the guide and recording are intuitive and easy. I am very happy with this purchase.

Much of what I expected
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This worked pretty much as I expected, but I had some hiccups getting the app and unit connected. I'm not sure what I did wrong, but formatting the drive should have been easier (e.g. it should be an option). It didn't ask me when I first hooked it up and had to reset the unit to get asked. I still have the subscription, so I don't know what it will look like if you opt out and just use the 'freebie'.

Great Device!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this as a solution for having local channels available on several tvs in my home but using only one OTA antenna. This did the trick. Very pleased with it so far. Also, has a 2 channel dvr which seems to work great. Still working through all the new wrinkles as I prepare to cut the cable cord. This device is a must look if you are looking to do the same.
