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.

    If you're thinking about ditching cable and going OTA, this is a good purchase for you. Make sure to pair it up with a decent antenna and hook up an external drive to record your shows. You can also download the Tablo app through Roku to enhance your cable free experience.

    Best system I could find for getting the output of my digital antenna to several devices. It didn't work very well on wifi, and I have a good router, but since I connected it to ethernet, its been very reliable. The DVR function could use some better features, but it works.

    I did not wish to spend $400 for a dvr after cutting the cord. This was a perfect solution for half the price. Very easy to use especially with the Tablo app available on my Roku device.

    it's a good product if I can't watch a tv show at the live time, I can record it and watch it later. Also, I can send the signal the entire house.

    I would NOT buy a "Tablo Dual lite OTA DVR". It is a great device that you can record two show at once. It also creates thumbnails of the show so you can easily skips through commercial. BUT it needs one channel and about 10 minutes to do this. I record a lot of shows, so sometimes the thumbnails are not created until after ten o'clock when all the shows are done. I WOULD buy (and did) the Tablo Quad"!! It has 4 channels so no conflict on my three recordings and a channel for thumbnails.

    Great for being able to record the shows we get through our off-air antenna. It can be finicky though and sometimes doesn't connect so I have to unplug for a minute and let it reboot. That's why I only gave it 4 stars.

    Tablo DVR will not stay connected to home network

    The Table Lite has a good interface and I like the guide. The problem with it was that each time I accessed it, it would say searching and then Tablo not found. I would then power cycle it and it showed up. As a result, it was off-line until I did that, so no shows got recorded that where scheduled. I followed all troubleshooting steps I could find and contacted support. Support ask some questions, but offered no solutions. Used with Roku Stick, Windows 10 and iPhone app.

    Had an AirTV, it worked but was buggy, recently it seems as if I need a Sling subscription to use it so I figured I would try the Tablo. The Tablo is not buggy. If your internet & modem are fast enough you can broadcast in 1080p, something most of the other DVRs don't do. This has a subscription service for $5 a month that makes it easier to use & can broadcast outside your home connection. If doing that isn't important this can be used without the subscription. So far I'm happy with this product.

    The device works as advertised. My only complaint is that channel switching is slow. Otherwise, great instructions from the company and I have used it with Roku, Web browser and iPad successfully. It definitely is value added to my home theater.
