Tablo - DUAL LITE OTA DVR with WiFi

I opened the box and followed the installation instructions and the on screen prompts. I attached a 1TB Western Digital My Passport drive from Best Buy for my DVR recordings. A firmware update was a part of the installation process. It then moved into downloading the channel guide. The installation process was quick and easy without issues. Pros -Easy setup -Great Picture -Roku App preforms wells -Android TV app works better -Apple TV app works nicely but is more limited than Roku or Android TV -Ease of use -The menu system is good but has a few weaknesses -It is easy to setup programs to be recorded and to delete unwanted programs. -Recording playback, fast forward and rewind work well. -Guide data is very good with good descriptions and images -Wireless streaming is very good in the parts of the house with a strong wifi connection. Cons/Needed improvements -Channels can be slow loading, especially with a week wifi signal. -Inconsistent guide/menu between Apple TV, IPad, Roku and Android TV -The guide is very good, but can be improved upon. It would be very helpful to have a drop down banner showing what is playing now while still watching and listening to the current program with ability to select another channel. Overall, I am very pleased with performance of the Tablo Dual Lite OTA DVR. It is actually better than expected. I would give the Tablo FIVE STARS if the guide was better and more consistent between streaming platforms. I would definitely recommend it to a friend.

Tablo was easy to set-up. Most of my favorite shows are on ota tv. I added a 1 TB hard drive. Since purchasing I have recorded numerous shows. I haven't been able to watch a lot of them but the ones I've watch recorded well. I can rewind when I want to look at something again. I have recorded some seasons of old show I like so I can binge watch them when I get time. I like that with the Tablo app on my Roku TV's and my Tablo set-up I can watch recorded shows from any room in the house. I may have needed a four tuner because so many of my favorite shows will overlap during the fall. We'll see.

Works great setup was easy finds the channels able to stream local channels to any smart tv or streaming box hook up a hard drive and your ready to dvr shows with commercial skip. I added a 3g 4g filter to help eliminate interference my antenna is in the attic so far so good

So far, it is awesome! I linked it via WiFi with my ROKU and downloaded the Tablo Channel. I installed an antenna in my attic and connected it to the Tablo directly using my existing cable TV wiring already installed in the house. The TV Quality picture is excellent. I am using the Tablo TV Guide which does cost $4.99 after the trial but it is well worth it. It does not come with a hard drive to record, so I used an external hard drive that I already had on hand. The guide also comes with commercial skip and you can select that and it will skip the commercials on most shows...sometimes it doesn't work and I just fast forward.

Easy set up. Sets up the channels like watching cable. Connected the external hard drive to record our shows. Added google tv to the second tv and downloaded the Tablo app. We now have Tablo on both TVs and works great. Tablo is a great investment for those wanting to drop cable!!

The Tablo OTA DVR has worked great for me. I have Roku's with the Tablo app and everything is the same on each tv. My antenna work well, so my pictures are very clear. I've watched local channels most of the time anyway. I don't have to have a device connected to each tv. This helps keep the area around my tv neat. I wish I would have tried Tablo sooner. I have mine in a small home office.

This little device was the perfect solution for my OTA DVR needs. I have another device that was not consistent and needed to be reset frequently. That device also has to be connected to one TV. I really like the size of the Tablo and how I can access my recordings from other Smart TVs in the house through the app. I have it hooked up to a 2TB hard drive and control primarily through my Roku TV. The on screen guide is easy to navigate and select movies or TV seasons to record.

Went to outside antenna, but wanted DVR capability. This product solved this problem. Quality of recorded shows is excellent, I added WD Passport drive (1 tb) . Directv bill was $90. Per month. Cost of outside antenna $200 , Tablo with drive $170. I have had this set up for 2 months, break even in 4 months. I also able to set up on my second tv. I rated at 4 stars because the load time of tv schedule is a little slow, but once loaded , it works good.
