Customer Ratings & Reviews

I had some difficulty connecting the unit to the WIFI, so connected directly to the router. Still learning how to operate efficiently.

Easy to use, I love it so many channels I can watch for free.

IT WORK AS EXPECTED EASY TO SET UP WHAT MORE COULD SOMEONE ASK FOR

This basically does what it's advertised to do, but unless you live in a small space, don't believe that the wifi FROM Tablo will reach all your TVs/computers. For it to work at all, be sure it's plugged directly into your router. Also, be sure that your antenna can get all the channels you want. We're disappointed that our PBS reception is so poor (but that's not really Tablo's fault).

Works well but some difficulty in hooking it up. Solves the problem of getting local stations on my Roku.

A little hard to set up. I was a little disappointed that customer service was only open until 5:30 EST. Got it working though.

Is a little hard to navigate in the beginning but works quite well when you figure out the system

so far am satisfied still need to learn more about how to use the device

Nice interface, dual tuner OTA DVR. Tuner picked up all expected channels.

This little piece of media hardware is an absolute must IMHO . Has an awesome guide , that works well with Roku and my Samsung smart TV . Shows look and sound awesome . Every once in awhile , you buy something and you think that was the best money I have spent in a long while . This is such an item .

Does exactly what is needed. Very easy to set up and a good TV guide.

There are numerous problems with the Tablo, both hardware and software related. If you remember the good old days of analog TV reception over the air, regardless of how good your antenna and TV receiver were, once in a time, you'd get a glitch. It would manifest itself as either snow showing up on the screen or ghosting for a second or two. It could be caused by weather, an airplane flying in or reflecting signals...there could be a lot of causes. Never the less, the image was still reasonably viewable. With digital TV, this has changed. It's an either/or situation. If the image is received strongly, the image is amazing, but if it isn't, you don't see a weak image with snow or ghosting, you see a scrambled "pixelized" image that doesn't make sense. If your system is set up well, even this shouldn't be a big deal, it just means the image and sound drop out for a fraction of a second, but once recovered it's back to hi-def digital TV. This is where the Tablo really screws up. From a hardware standpoint, the sensitivity of the Tablo seems to be inferior to that of common OTA receivers. A typical OTA digital TV receiver can receive signals of varying intensity and "pixelize" infrequently. This is not the case with the Tablo. It's sensitivity is grossly limited, so stations that show up problem free on an inexpensive OTA converter will have far fewer problems than the Tablo. That's one problem, but the bigger problem with the Tablo is its software. It can't handle ANY errors of any sort. I've used their web based app, their iPad app, and their Roku app, and all of them have the same problem: Any time a signal drop occurs, their apps just basically "blow their cookies"...they can't handle it. The web based app literally locks up. The iPad app locks up. The Roku app (which I assume Tablo wrote) may or may not lock up. The Roku app may go into a bizarre slow-motion mode where it sounds and appears like the application and sound are running at about 1/2 speed. On the good side, the unit has a slick user interface that can show everything that's available on your detected (and selected) channel. The scheduling and user interfaces are good, but for the feature to remain active for more than a day or two, you need to subscribe to their service which costs money. Overall, if they can fix the signal processing/software bugs, this unit may eventually be decent. As-is, however, unless you have VERY, VERY STRONG signal reception 24 hours a day, this unit will be problematic. At this point, I just see this as a $140 loss. Maybe they can fix these problems in the future, and if they do, I'll update this review (if possible.) I see no point in playing any more "antenna games" with this unit when this isn't required by other OTA units. A note to Tablo: Please don't post another canned response about contacting you for immediate response...I've already dealt with them.

Good item for the price, Easy to install and set up

Did lose a channel from. Having to move the antenna, but subscribed to it for $5/ month.

Setup took a little longer than expected with app crashing but has worked just fine after initial install.

The description and other reviews were very misleading. You cannot record shows from the Roku. It just has a Roku app you can use. You can ONLY record shows from a TV attenae. There are only about 5 channels in my area. I had to buy a TV attenae too just discover this disappointment.

Like the fact you can DVR over the air TV. Was very easy to configure.

Easy to get up and running. Great for cord cutters.

Ran very hot when using it. Didn't do what I thought.

Easy to set up. Works well so far. I would purchase again.
