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). Select reviewers may receive discounted products, promotional considerations or entries into drawings for honest, helpful reviews.

    My WD 1TB external drive died when I moved Tablo to connected it via Ethernet cable to the router. Tablo's operating system is in general extremely slow.

    I had to contact support because I kept loosing connection and it wasn't from the antenna. Support did get back to me so I just decided to live with it.

    Easy to set up, but unimpressive software. Probably a good economic option, just keep your expectations in check.

    Overall dissatisfied. Unit performed an update shortly after purchase and continually rebooted afterwards. An hour plus on the phoe with tech support they said it was an issue with my internet. The Tablo was the only thing on my internet with any problem at all and was verified with my internet provider.

    This will not work with an antenna with a rotor. I had to call the manufacture to find out. Only works with certain antennas. I was not going to put nail in my brand new roof to make tablo work with a different antenna.

    This doesn't work very well. Does not connect, and drops feed from antenna. Have to shut off, and re-start, sometimes 4 or 5 times. It is overheating also.....even though we have a fan directed at it constantly.

    Doesn’t stay connected to the app consistently. Won’t cast through Chromecast. Have only gotten it to work 1 time in 3 days. Back to cable. Was using through WiFi that everything else near it has decent reception including the TV.
