Tablo (4th Generation) Over-the-Air [OTA] DVR

Love it, Way better than spectrum I'm not spending 202.00 dollars anymore way better channels. Keep it up your doing great!

I have been using Tablo for a little over a week. I'm using a directional antenna located in my garage attic and am able to receive all of my local over the air channels. I like how the channel list shows the name of the show, and when selecting a show to watch, I get info. on the show before I hit OK on my remote a second time to go to the show. Recording a show works well with no issues. Overall, Tablo is a good way to watch and record local broadcast channels.

I get all local channels and a lot of free channels for no monthly fees. I don't miss any cost at all. I would recommend this product if you had great WIFI. I had to get a better mesh system for it to work, but once I got my full WIFI capes, it works great with no delays. I gave it four stars only because I had to upgrade my house mesh.

Living in a campground, internet is unreliable with slowing speeds on a daily and nightly occurrence. From the first moment I started using my Tablo I have been more than impressed. It works as well as having over the air tv or using cable. I've thoroughly enjoyed having it available and at some point I hope to find a 70 mile or greater antenna that is in my price range as the 35 mile range one that comes with is the only limiting factor to greater viewing options. The greater the range the greater the channels with the right antenna!

First off, the unit is doing what it's supposed to be doing. (I have the 4 tuner and use my own $10.00 antenna. It gets what I want.) The installation process went without any trouble. Most everything else glitch wise is minor. There are moments where the circle spins and I've had delays in everything from "booting up" to moments of freezing mid stream but it's hard to tell if it's the internet or the unit. None of these have required any reboot and most of the delays have been short to very short. I am plugged direct to the router. The channel guide hasn't always been correct, mostly with whether a network channel show is new or not. I am older and i don't have a 1000 inch tv so it would be nice if one could make the guide display larger, particularly program descriptions/information. Speaking of program information, that can be very lacking, so i guess maybe that's more on whoever is providing that information. Hey! No subscription though. Being able to choose what channels you want in your guide is very nice. ( Out of 177, I chose 34.) The single line showing what other programs are on while watching is nice, but it doesn't catch up if you've been watching for awhile. You have to go back to the channel guide. Unfortunately, when you have to do that, you can't continue watching what you were watching. By the way, I'm using mine with a Fire tv and an HD Firestick (on a non smart tv) and there haven't been any issues with that set up. All in all, I wouldn't have any trouble recommending someone to give it a go, especially if you can get it at a sale price. Who doesn't like a sale.
