New 4th gen Tablo TV

I really like the new look and the streaming channels. The guide is more comprehensive. I'm still getting used to navigating around inside the Roku app. I miss the javascript like popup, but even without it, it"s really great. I'd give it a solid 5 stars.

Love my Tablo!

I bought my Tablo last month and thoroughly love it! I probably didn't need the 1TB because I delete my programs after watching them, but it is a great device. I'm a little bummed that the newer and much cheaper version has come out right after buying mine, but I can't complain.

Tablo 4th Generation, Perfect.

Just purchased the TabloTV 4th generation DVR, and I must say, I love it..!! No monthly fees, and it works perfectly with my FireTV Stick 4K Max..!! For the best reception please pay attention to what Im going to tell you. I bought a Must Have Flat Antenna. It was suppose to be the best. Not quite the best. I was unable to receive OTA channels like Fox & CW without losing reception. Yes, others blamed their Tablo 4th Gen tuner, but they were wrong..!! It was their antennas fault. Yep, here is my proof. After I became so frustrated with my new flat antenna and lousy reception, I researched different antennas. I was impressed with reviews about the Channel Master FLATenna+ (plus) indoor Antenna so I ordered one online. It had a signal amplifier that impressed me. I installed my new CH antenna with the included amplifier along with Tablos built in amplifier turned off. Channel reception was fair, but not perfect. I then tried a different method. I ran the enclosed Channel Master coax cable direct from the FLATenna+ to the Tablo 4th Generation DVR WITHOUT the CH enclosed antenna amp, splitter and filter. I then turned on the built-in Tablo Antenna Amplification (on) & rescanned my channels. All my local channels, the ones I watch, including Fox & CW received 100% perfect HD reception. I am 100% happy with my Tablo 4th Generation DVR
Note: I tried several locations for my Flat Antenna.
Different locations means different outcomes.
Rescan after Every Change.!!
Go online to establish where your broadcast towers are located. Direct your Indoor Flat Antenna toward the broadcast Towers.
Try both with signal amplification on & off, always Rescan when you make a change..!!
This review does not reflect on the Antenna Tablo sells, I never tried theirs..!!
Good luck
