Interface needs work but generally works

Interface gets locked out of you just turn your TV off. You have do a forced stop. Can't watch a channel while viewing the guide. However, basically delivers what is expected.

Needs improvement.

Although I use it mainly for recording I don't like how long the guild takes to load up, the recording time options could be better also like start and stop times.

Hello,

Very Happy

Very happy with the Tablo.. I can now record programs and go back later to watch them and fast forward past all those darn ads. I like being able to setup auto recording of my favorite shows. I don't know why some folks are having troubles. The Tablo app does take a bit to load sometimes but its grabbing the latest TV schedules. Tablo also does get a bit glitchy at times but so do all apps for that matter. Just restart your Roku or Firestick and restart the Tablo app and your back in business. The glitches are few and far between. The price is right.

Very good when you get it to work

If everything goes as planned when you set it up, it's a great product. I found it works well with a Firestick but after many tries with various ROKUs i gave up on that. And always exit the Tablo app before turning the TV off or else it gets confused and will require a reboot of your Firestick before using again. All in all mine works well after initial set up issues.
