It works fine. Very satisfactory unit. I only wish it had ATSC 3.0 capability. ATSC 3.0 tuner has been available for 5-years now and we will have to buy capable tv tuners when they become available for Tablo. A big inconvenience!

Works Excellent!!!

This device works exactly as advertised. The OTA local channels look just as clear as my soon to be cancelled Directv box. I did have to find the best place for the amplified indoor antenna for the best signal. After that no problems at all. My only regret is that I didn't buy it sooner so I could have got the lifetime channel guide subscription. I do recommend pairing it with a Western Digital 1TB hard drive. They do make bigger capacity drives but I think the 1TB has plenty of storage.
Very pleased!!!

I enjoy my Tablo QUAD HDMI!!

Had it now a little under a month and thoroughly enjoy it! I like this a lot better that my Tablo Quad. It was having issues. Didn't even get to squeeze three years out of it. This unit does not rely on internet to process the picture. Also the picture quality is better than that of the regular Quad. The unit is a lot smaller as well. I found out with the free trial that I was able to use my Tablo Roku Channel app to view the Quad HDMI. The guide is fine straight from the unit via HDMI. The only thing is that you cannot power the unit off. Also on the guide (as of date of review) it won't show first aired date for tv shows. I did find that it does on the Roku app guide however. All in all I am very happy with the Tablo QUAD HDMI!

Tablo Quad HDMI great!

My wifi costs money after a 10GB cap, so I have my wifi router enabled router enabled from midnight to 5 am (which is "free" time and hackers won't use up my 10g)
The first day, I set up the tablo to record 4 shows at once while I watched a previously recorded show. It's great. It does loose some signal over the roku tv. I sometimes can't receive the dallas weather channel 8.2
The tablo wants to be connected to the internet anytime you want to update the channel listings. I have both wifi and ethernet connected to it, but I disconnect the ethernet when I don't want to go over my cap (and slow me down). I have not yet opted for the 14 day one touch record schedule over the network for $5/mo. I can go browse all the OTA channels within a 24 hour time period and see what it says the show is about and schedule it to record any combination of 7 days, the specific show time and channel and it does it! Occasionally, If I browse the OTA channel guide too fast, the system tries to restart and it hangs. I have to unplug/plug in the power. The power off button does not do anything. Setup has a restart option. I am using a 165GB USB seagate disk for my DVR storage.It has used up 108GB for about 50 hours of shows and movies.
