It's OK

I LIKE IT EXCEPT FOR ONE THING. I HAVE TO REMOVE THE APP ON MY ROKU TV AND THEN REINSTALL IT IN ORDER TO USE IT.

Sorry to hear that Don.

Frustrating to Use, but better than nothing

The only way I have been able to use my Tablo is by re-installing it several times a day. It gets hung up and starts and stops regularly. I have not figured out a way to get out of these 3 second pauses.
I am happy that it works, sometimes, to allow me to watch TV without cable service.
I would love to know how to back up 10 seconds, to catch something I missed, but that feature is, apparently, not available.

Sorry to hear you're running into those problems Dennis,

I'm not impressed, it's just okay

I was hoping this would be an option for my elderly mother who isn't very tech savvy. She needs to cut the cable cord, without "streaming" bc that is to techy, techy for her. From the get go, I had a hard time setting it up. I live in a century home and I have a feeling the walls were interfering with the wireless signal. I placed it on the top level of my home, which helped. There are a lot more channels available than over the air antenna, but so much buffering happens. And we are only 15 miles from a major city. I have not used the dvr as of yet, so I can not speak for it. I do like that I can use several tv's off one Tablo.

Sorry you're running into buffering issues.

Not Ready For Prime Time

When it works, it is a great device. Unfortunately, it just doesn't work very well. Every few days, I to restart the device to get it to display content. It needs a lot of work to be considered a device worth buying. At this time, I cannot recommend anyone purchasing Tablo.
