Frequently asked questions

Do I need internet to use Tablo?

Yes. You do need internet access to use Tablo. Like many modern gadgets, Tablo is a network-connected device, designed to have consistent high-speed internet access and will not function without it.

What devices can I use to set up my Tablo?

To set up your Tablo you’ll need an iOS or Android smartphone or tablet.

What smart devices are compatible with Tablo for viewing and managing live TV and recordings?

Tablo is compatible with streaming devices (sticks and boxes) and smart TVs from Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Android TV/Google TV, Samsung Tizen and LG webOS as well as smartphones and tablets running iOS and Android. Recording of some free streaming channels may be disabled due to licensing restrictions.

Does Tablo require a subscription?

No. There are no subscriptions, contracts, or hidden fees with Tablo whatsoever. Programming from your TV antenna as well as the 100+ included internet-based streaming channels are absolutely free and there is no cost to enjoy any Tablo apps, features, or guide data.

What hard drives are compatible with Tablo if I want to increase recording storage capacity?

Tablo devices come with up to 50 hours of onboard HD storage. However, you can choose to connect a portable USB hard drive (USB 2.0 or 3.0) between 1TB and 8TB in size for up to 1000 hours of additional storage capacity. See the Tablo Support Portal for details and recommendations.

Does the 4th generation Tablo support ATSC 3.0 (aka NextGenTV)?

No. The tuners in the 4th generation Tablo support the ATSC 1.0 broadcast standard used by all major commercial broadcasts today and the Tablo device takes full advantage of it like never before. While ATSC 3.0 broadcasts are available in some markets, ATSC 1.0 broadcasts will continue through at least June 2027.

Plug and play.

Easy to hook up. Works perfect. Get more channels immediately. Highly recommend. Great product for the money. No monthly fees.

For the Most Part It's Fine...But

I should note in this review that I live between two TV markets and have never gotten great antenna reception of the Charlotte stations. My Tablo antenna faces east, and I can clearly receive stations in the Greensboro-High Point-Winston Salem market - not like local stations, but very acceptable. The DVR on my Tablo will occasionally freeze up during playback, even on streaming stations, so I'm not totally satisfied with that function. I have a strong Wi-fi signal, so that is a mystery to me. So, worth the money - Yes. The solution to all my TV problems - No. Easy setup though and the app is easy to navigate. B+

Sorry I didn’t get the 4 tuner

With the 2 tuner you can’t watch if recording.

Hi Larry,

Sorry you're running into that.

You should be able to watch in progress recordings with a 2-Tuner Tablo. There is a limitation watching the begining of an in progress recording with Apple TV but other platforms should work without restriction.

Works good now

The initial set up was really tricky because the tablo connection seems fickle. The initial tech said that this unit would not update with att air internet so that meant I had to set up using an iPhone hot spot. After several issues I called support and the new tech walked me through set up with att air. Worked well and she was very k owledgeable.

Few bugs

1. Slow when changing channels. 2 No AtSC 3 quad tuner available 3. Bug when recording for more than an hour. 4. Ztraming channel recording not available

Hi Richard,

Sorry you're running into those problems.

Some streaming channels are restricted for recording due to licening agreements but you should be able to record others.

For your other concerns, would you consider reaching out to our technical support team? They should be able to help.
