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.

The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged).

    Great device to complement the OTA channels. Thorough review of set up procedures and knowledge base highly recommended. Thinking maybe the 4 tuner version might've been better.

    The Tablo worked well when it was wired to our house modem. It never worked, wirelessly, which is what we needed to pull the largest number of OTA channels, i.e., where the modem is located is not the best place at our location to pull OTA channels. I had several interactions with Tablo support and they were engaged and helpful. I also engaged Geek Squad (we have a membership) and they too were helpful, but, not able to solve the WIFI issue. I wound up returning the Tablo, which BB accepted without issue.

    We cut the cord on cable. However, we needed a device to DVR the prime time shows that we normally watch. The Tablo performs flawlessly with a WD portable hard drive.

    No complaints. Does what it is supposed to just hook up external hard drive to record local channels.

    Tablo unit died twice in less than two years

    I bought a Tablo Dual Lite in 2019. It completely failed 10 months later, so Tablo replaced it under warranty. in 2021, the WiFi receiver on the new unit died, but since it was more than a year old, the warranty had expired, Tablo would do nothing. I need the WiFi feature due to the distance between my antenna and router, so I'm giving Tablo one more chance, but this is my third unit in less than two years.

    The antenna didn't get signal in my living room so I got this to receive the signal in a different room and it works perfect.
