Its hard to even give this crap a 2 but I'll give a 2 because at 1 point it worked. This is the mkst glitchy device ever. Save your money don't ever purchase one you'll waste more time than the device is even worth. I already realize I'm not going to get back the cost for the crap device but also I'm not getting back the hours of time wasted to try to get it to work.

on a regular basis it disconnects from my internet along with reverting back to the opening screen without warning. I have called customer service several times and tried several different things but i don't feel I should have to keep rebooting the Tablo, unplugging my TV and plugging back in, unplugging my router and plugging it back in. As I'm typing this it has disconnected twice. Junk !!!!!!

I've had my 4 tuner Tablo about 3 months. It installed easily and worked well for a couple of days. Then on some or all of my four tvs it would buffer endlessly when I clicked on LIVE on the banner bar. I could do a reset and it was fine for two to five days and then one by one it did the same on every TV. I've tried updating, using various streaming boxes, resetting my router, and unplugging the Tablo. (I have excellent wifi coverage to the Tablo.) Again it works for a day or two and then refuses to connect to LIVE.

I have tablo on my tv, it appears to work but I caanot record, it only comes up on my phone in the setup and it stops there. Have called in but got no help, was told to buy a fire stick and good bye. I do not reccomend tablo, great idea but not user friendly

I bought a 4th gen Tablo in 2023 to be able to watch TV, skip, fast forward, rewind and record the few local shows I watch when I cut the cord from satellite TV. I had issues from the start, often when I would try to watch a show I would get the set-up screen you get before setting up the Tablo device. This would even happen while watching a show it would kick me out, when I would try to get back into the show I was watching I'd get the set up screen with the QR code. When I contacted Tablo support, they weren't very helpful. The service got better in 2024, I got the setup screen less often, but it would drop shows fairly often and buffers a lot more often then other streaming channels. I moved the Tablo device from the TV in my den to my office where my router is located. It is connected to my router with an ethernet cable. This did not have any effect on the signal. Even the TV that is connected to the Tablo device via Ethernet cable will buffer the same as the other TV's. One is in the next room, less that a foot away (thru the wall) from the Tablo device. I tried to connect the Tablo to 5G, Table support told me 5G wasn't supported, and I needed to upgrade my WiFi. However later I found a document online that it was supported. It seems shows on the Table get out of sync much more than on other streaming channels. I end up going back to the Tablo menu then going back into the show many times to get the video and audio to get back in sync. Then there was a firmware update in April 2025. Since then most of time anything I try to watch is so pixelated so bad you can't watch. I ended up purchasing another streaming channel so I could actually watch a show that I can no longer view via the Tablo. When I reached out to Tablo for support after the firmware update, they no longer open a ticket, I received a canned AI reply, that was not helpful, it didn't have any information in reference to the firmware update, that had no option to open a ticket or to contact someone for further support, since this happened after their latest firmware update. But they did send me an email wanting me to rate their service. Definite thumbs down!

Tablo is a wonderful idea that is terribly executed. The legacy that I had started good and started failing so often I got the current version. its user interface was not as good as the legacy model. Then they updated again and the interface went from fair to nonsinceacle. My current one in failing quite often(sieses up and kicks me out of the app) and I am just about in the market for a new product and it will not likely be TABLO.

Legacy Tablo was great! App was excellent and with lifetime schedule subscription programs were easy to find and record. Picked up a 4th generation and everything changed. App is terrible! They should have just cloned old app to work on the new hardware. The "archive" feature doesn't work as advertised so without an external storage drive it filled up storage with less than 25hours of recordings.

I was been on the phone with support about our 3 year old Tablo just quitting. The problems started mid-December when it would just disconnect. I would restart the Roku, AT&T router and the button on the back of the Tablo. On Dec 28th, it just quit completely. I unplugged it, switched the antenna cable, tried a different port on my router, replaced the Ethernet cable & took out the memory drive. I even did a factory reset. All to no avail. All that happens is the blue light just keeps Flashing & never turning Solid blue. And the Ethernet light flashes instead of a steady on like it has always done. Could a bad Ethernet port on the Tablo be the problem? We have 4 TVs that connect over WiFi and 1 connected to a Roku box via Ethernet cable. There are never more than 2 TVs going at any given time. All other streaming applications through Roku work perfectly. During the phone call to support, the lady kept interrupting me and saying it was my internet server's fault. She kept saying my unit is outdated and kept trying to sell me a NEW 4th Generation! This unit is only 3 YEARS OLD! Then I got a generic email that didn't help at all. Weird thing is, on the forum another man is having the same issues with his Legacy in the same time! Hmmm?
