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.

Very nice!!

Only thing I would like to be able to get is stream from a remote location.
I have a vacation property that is remotel and I'm unable to receive over the air broadcasts so being able to stream would be awesome.

Buggy

It's great most of the time, however, we experience episodes of error messages and issues loading the guide which prevents you from watching live TV. We didn't have this on our legacy model. We've had our 4th gen for about a year and continue to have intermittent problems.

Sorry you're running into that, Bill,

Would you contact Tablo Support? They should be able to help.

No access while away on any device connected to the account

Works good, but the only real advantage to just using my antenna direct is the dvr capabilities. Pretty disappointed that I can not access the app via mobil network. Can't even jump on an add a show to record while away from home longer than planned or just forgot something was on or traveling and want to watch recordings. Can not understand why Tablo would not allow such a simple feature 🙄

Hello,

The 4th Gen Tablo pulls in over-the-air channels in their original MPEG-2 format. While this is great for picture quality, the video gets too big to stream out of the home.

Easy setup.

I bought the Tablo to replace a failed Tivo system capturing signal from a digital antenna. The setup was easy. The signal clarity is good. Tivo selection and recording processes were simpler requiring fewer keystrokes. For some reason, Closed Captions that we had with Tivo are almost always unavailable using the Tablo system.

We're glad you're enjoying your Tablo.

The closed captions issue is a limitation between Tablo and Samsung/LG. For details see: https://support.tablotv.com/hc/en-us/articles/49625686898452-Why-Closed-Captions-CC-Are-Not-Supported-on-Over-the-Air-Programming-in-4th-Generation-Tablo-Apps-for-Samsung-and-LG

Exactly as advertised!!

Love my Tablo! I get over 174 channels (I live in a suburb of LA) including favorites like Buzzr, MeTV, MeTV + and even MeToons. The DVR works great and I've expanded it with a thumb drive. Great system!

We're glad you love your Tablo.
