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.

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 70+ 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.

Can I watch or record cable/satellite or streaming services with Tablo?

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.

Shipping is always free to residents of the United States. And while we hope you love your Tablo, if you’re unhappy for any reason we offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. Customers must pay for return shipping. See our store policies page for details.

The platform consistently delivers error messages, refreshes sending me back to the home screen, and the user interface is clunky to say the least.

So far enjoy the DVR service. Only issue I have is not being able to just record a channel. Like set a time and timer that say record the channel example: at 5pm for 1 hour. This would be beneficial for channels that do not have guide programming but come in ota. It records everything from the guide and lists great. Only had one recording fail.

Works great so far. I replaced the 1st gen with this unit and there is a noticeable difference in the quality of the video streaming. There is far less lag and the app experience is better. I attached it directly to the antenna in my attic and use Google nest mesh without any issue.

Great for recording

More stations than OTA channels with recording options

Better than I thought

Better than I thought but the slightest weather and it's dead in the water. Menu design is good but when you delete stuff it freezes up and you have to start all over again. I'll continue for now...
