Tablo - QUAD OTA DVR - Black

This recorder is the best thing since sliced bread. It was very easy to set up, It is a snap to set up either single recordings or recording a program series. It knows if a program was previously recorded and therefore does not waste storage space by re-recording it. A well designed product and very user friendly!!

I would recommend this to anyone looking for an ota dvr. You need to provide the hdd or ssd but this is very easy to set up and use. I tried the Sling ota first but this blows it out of the water by a long shot.

4 tuners, great picture, excellent user interface. Not much else to say except it's a great product.

Even though hardwired into a Gigabit intranet, its NIC disconnects from the network after about 30 minutes and must be hard reset to get the connection re-established. Tech support will lead you to believe it is a Router problem. It clearly is not. You can sit and watch the Switch LEDs extinguish as the connection drops. when it times out. Seems as if their firmware does not keep the NIC alive and does not properly "wake" it on subsequent connection efforts.

I couldn't be happier with this purchase. It is by far the best thing that I have purchased in years and I am very picky to the point where I can't think of much to improve upon on this item which is so rare these days. The menu is so easy to use due to such a thoroughly complete thoughtful design. I installed a Seagate BarraCuda 2Tb SSD hard drive. The only thing that I haven't completed yet is my antenna system. My antenna signal is currently being shared between 16 different devices in my home with mostly poor quality cable, so I occasionally do lose my signal at times. It's a wonder that any of the devices receive enough signal to operate at all, but certainly not Tablo's fault. It will be corrected shortly. I'm looking forward to see what else Tablo does with this in the future.

Finally cut the cord on cable and needed something to deliver ota antenna though out the house as well as a dvr. I was also looking at the hdhomerun but chose the Tablo because it seems to have a better system to stream via wifi. The picture to me looks just as good as the antenna even while watching football in both 1980i and 720p local signals. I should point out that all my settings are set to the highest quality with the Tablo plugged directly into the modem. I did have a problem with my second generation firestick which would buffer the signal but the latest 4kfire stick has better wifi capabilities and works perfect. I would suggest a robust wifi setup and the latest steaming devices.

The Tablo Quad OTA DVR is a well designed and well made device. The interface and guide is great. I had to return this item though because it would not pull in WTAE, my local ABC affiliate. I have returned to using the HD Homerun Quad since it seems to have a better tuner circuit. It's still very trial and error when deciding to cut the cord and not every device is for everyone.

I am on the north side of North Mountain but still get 50 channels. I can record 50 hours of video and can distribute it two 4 TVs in the house. simple to use and very user friendly. Best option I have found. Well worth the money.
