Vastly improved product offering

I had a Tablo years ago and quickly gave up on it. Back then they charged a subscription fee to receive TV listings, the TV tuners did not seem work all that well, the device came with no builtin storage, and mine at least constantly froze and had to be rebooted. In addition, only OTA channels could be recorded, there were no streaming options. In the latest model of Tablo all of that has been fixed. I am very impressed with this device and extremely happy with the picture quality I receive. Not that it's flawless mind you - for example it would be nice if the Tablo app supported landscape mode for all the menu screens to make it easier to use on a tablet.

Honest Review

The device performs as advertised. My only concern was that some channels I particularly desired did not come through. Changing positions in various areas of my home did not increase the number of channels received. I also had a satellite, which did not disappoint in providing local channels and other channels I had not seen before, which was a positive aspect. However, I missed my preferred channels. I recommend trying the device as it certainly provides all my local channels.

Hi there, thank you for your honest review of the Tablo. We apologize that some of your preferred channels were not available, but we're glad to hear that you were able to discover new channels through the satellite option. We appreciate your recommendation and hope you continue to enjoy your local channels with the Tablo. Thank you for choosing our product.
