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.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

    Once you figure out how to make it work, it's ok. It works both on my Samsung and Sony 4K sets. You have to downgrade the resolution on the Tablo box to get a steady signal.

    When I upgraded my Directv receivers I lost the ability to record OTA channels. This was a good alternative. Having some problems with reception. Not sure if it's the Tablo or my antenna.

    Works good. It does require an external hard drive and the Tablo App, so if you don't have a newer smart tv it will also require a Roku, Firestick or similar device that supports Tablo.

    Just combine with an antennae and get and record HD quality video from over the air (OTA) sources. Great quality and easy to use!

    Tablo is a must have for cord cutters that want to record OTA channels. It is fairly inexpensive way to record Jeopardy and other shows on OTA channels. I paired the Tablo with an HD 1TB External USB drive and installation/setup was a breeze. There is a $5 a month fee for the Tablo app but it is well worth the cost in my opinion. I would definitely recommend.

    This does all that is advertised. The interface is easy to understand and very familiar to TV cable guides. It tends to need rebooting virtually everyday.

    I really love this dvr. The Tablo works great and I’m having no problems with it now. It’s easy to record shows with it and I’m very pleased with their customer service. When I first got it it wouldn’t connect to the internet. I called their customer service and returned the 1st one I bought. I got another one and this one was having problems also. I called customer service and they fixed the problem remotely. I love it and I’m glad I bought it.
