Did not work. Would not connect to our smart tv

Easy set up, slim design, works great!

I’ve had Tablo around 7 years

I have an older model Tablo and generally pretty happy with it however, every time there’s an update, I will lose service. This time. It took me three days to figure out how to reboot it and this is not an uncommon problem - there is not adequate customer service for this company so I consider contacting them my very last resort. But you will almost always have to go to the back of your TV, which is not convenient at all with these big screen TVs that are usually in places you can’t reach very well..

I have recommended Tablo to 3 friends who liked mine, but when they bought the unit for themselves, it was a newer model, and every one of them returned it because they did not like it compared to the older model that I have and when they worked with customer service, they just said “ I don’t know”. Well, they all knew they wanted their money back. Lol.

That’s pretty sad because it tells me should my unit break. I’m going to have to find something else for local TV. It seems to me they started out really strong but ending up kind of weak. I’m so glad I have an older unit even though it is a pain in the rear to reboot I appreciate having local TV so we’ll stick the test until it dies.

Easy to install and an amazing amount of channels!!!

Ordered a new one after having one for a little over two years. This one has a larger space for recording. It is nice so far but would like to see some tech improvement, other than that I am glad to have the Tablo in my home.
