Tablo 4th Gen Model Rocks!

I have only had my Tablo a couple weeks and it surpassed my expectations! I really like it and the Tablos features including all the 100+ streaming channels it provides in addition to the Over The Air Antenna channels. I installed my own antenna inside my attic and I receive 172 channels including the streaming channels that Tablo provides.

However, I have read on social media groups that many people have had their units go dead in a year or two. I am hoping that is not the case with my unit. I have put a small cooling fan underneath my Tablo, since some in the group feel that the cause of their failed units were due to overheating? Time will tell!

Great Idea, Mediocre Execution

Easy setup, a novel idea, recording and retransmitting the signal, but the system is very glitchy, slow, and tens to freeze now and then. I’m putting up with it for now but if it gets much worse I might have to re-splice the cord I cut

Hi Steve,

There may be a local network slowdown that's causing this. This article should help: https://support.tablotv.com/hc/en-us/articles/29444222096276-How-To-Set-Up-Your-Home-Wi-Fi-Network-for-Streaming

Much easier to navigate

I truly appreciate being able to control this Tablo via app on our Smart TV; it is so much easier to use than our previous device. I believe the picture quality is a bit better on the older unit, but that may be because we use an external storage device for recording on that one. Once we watch and remove everything from the external storage, I'll move it to the new device to see if that improves the picture quality.

The quality of recordings is not bad on the new device, it's just not as saturated, I guess is the best word to use. We just moved the external antenna to the new device from the old, so that has remained the same.

Definitely glad we upgraded.

Interesting concept but a little too much trouble

I have been using Tablo for about a month. It takes about 6 clicks to get to the local news. Maybe there is a better way but in the morning I am not looking for that. The last 2 days when I click on a local channel, I get an error message and my only option is "Dismiss" which takes me back to the channel options. Last night I finally clicked on the next program for that channel and my channel magically appeared.

Hi Donna,

Try using favorites, they should help reduce the clicks you need to get to your local news: https://support.tablotv.com/hc/en-us/articles/26458668473108-How-To-Use-the-Favorites-Filter-on-the-4th-Generation-Tablo

Saved me $190 per month

I switched from Spectrum to Starlink + Tablo + You Tube premium. I am saving $190 / month. The show variety is better.
