Easy to use and excellent quality!
5 out of 5 stars
Easy to use and excellent quality!
This is for the Tablo DUAL 64GB. Despite an Amazon shipping error and receiving this 3 days late... The product is solid. Follow the included quick start guide and you are watching live TV in about 15 minutes. A HD OTA antenna and high speed broadband connection is required for this device. The picture quality will be dependent on your antenna style, configuration, and internet speed. UI for Fire TV stick and android device is straight forward and easy to use. The option to add an external HDD up to 8TB is an added bonus as the device itself will only store about 40hrs of programming out of the box. This is a wonderful device for people who are cutting the cord but still want to retain DVR and a channel guide. The only draw back is the subscription fee for the channel guide. You receive a 30 day free trial out of the box but it is 4.99 a month there after. There is an option for a yearly subscription or a lifetime subscription. The lifetime is only worth it if you are planning on keeping the device for about 3 years. Overall the Tablo Dual 64GB is an amazing product to lower your monthly television costs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works really well - better than expected
Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2018

I bought this and set up a few weeks ago. This was the process I went through. I will go step by step if it helps someone. I cancelled Directv which fed 3 rooms at my house. I live in a medium sized city and around 17 miles from the stations towers with clean sight (no buildings, etc on the way). And most of them at the same angle. I bought a RCA antenna at HomeDepot Model # ANT705E and installed in the attic. I fed the antenna through the same cable used by Directv (cut it in the attic and install a RG6 connector). This cable goes to a distribution panel and feeds the 3 rooms. Directv had installed one signal amplifier and a splitter. I uninstalled the Directv amplifier but kept the splitter (good quality by the way). On the main room (where I had the Directv DVR) I installed the Tablo and connected it directly to my router (have it on the same room). I have cable internet at 150Mbps (usually runs around 110 to 120). followed instructions on the guide using my notebook, and found probably 30+ channels, but I filter to keep only the main ones (NBC, ABC, FOX, CBS, CW, PBS, etc). All channels have excellent signal and great image quality. The other 2 rooms, even though I have fire TVs connected to them I also connected the antenna direct to the TV sets. So I can watch direct from the antenna or use the tablo app.
I have already tested the DVR and worked flawless.
Positives:
- works as advertise.
- for the trial period you don't need to create an account or use a credit card. Even though I will subscribe since the service is pretty good.
- The 14 day guide downloaded pretty fast (around 5 to 10 minutes)

What need improvement (this is why not 5 stars):
- the sound is not multi-channel. And not that great. I have the app running on an Apple TV on the main room. FireTv on the other 2 as i mentioned.
- changing channels need improvement. And buffers before starting showing, but not as bad as I thought from other reviews.

Still need to test:
- connect another external HD. Buying one today. Let's see how it goes
- Set it up to watch when I am traveling. It says you can access while out of your home network. Haven't tried it yet.
- I have not need to access customer support, so I can't rate the services. But everything working and no need to. So positive here so far.

All in all this is a great device and the User Interface better than I was expecting. I hope TabloTV keep updating firmware to improve sound for example.

For premium channels I sign up for SlingTV and HBO NOW. paying less than what I did with Directv and no contract.

UPDATE (09/15/18)
Added the HDD. I was not able to format the HDD following instructions. Keep in mind I added it after the Tablo was already set up. Call customer service. I was 4th in line, a technician helped to format it and in a few minutes I was ready to go.
Tablo just rolled an update which allows you to change channels while watching. Not the most elegant solution but I am really pleased. For customer service and the new update I am changing my rate to 5 stars.

1.0 out of 5 stars Customer support commitment? Apparently very little.

I tried two of these Tablo Duals and returned them both. The first seized up first day, wouldn't respond at all. So I tried their customer support line. Their customer support has very limited hours, 9:30-5:30 Eastern time. I am in the Mountain zone, so I had to call before 3:30 pm. If I am lucky, I can get home from work about 3, which gives me just half an hour to get support.

So the first day I waited on hold about 15 minutes and got a support rep on the line. He had some suggestions, which he said he would email to me within five minutes. The email actually arrived mid-morning the next day. So I scrambled to get home in time to try the suggestions, which didn't work, so again it's going to be the next day before I get a response. I didn't want to spend any more days working on the problem, so I just returned the unit.

So maybe I got a bad one, it happens. I tried again. This one worked, for about five days. Then I got "Error: Weak Signal" on all channels. The same antenna feed, plugged into the TV, showed strong reception. Back to customer support. I got an email response with a suggestion. Again I rushed home to try the remedy, and emailed back. Then it was the weekend. The next Monday, no response to my reply. Returning second Tablo Dual, but will not try again this time. I've got a $25 box that works as an over-the-air DVR. It isn't fancy, it doesn't name recordings or have a week-long program guide, but I plug it in and it works. Unlike the $200 Tablo.

My experience made it clear to me that this company is committed to supporting its products only as long as it is convenient for them, not for the customer. Such an approach to customer service, to me, is practically no customer service. A company that wants to sell products in many different time zones should have hours that support those customers. People have busy lives and shouldn't have to wait multiple days to resolve issues with a malfunctioning product. Likewise, I don't want to spend annual leave time from work to resolve those issues because the company's support is only available eight hours a day, Eastern time, Monday through Friday.

Each Tablo I got had a note in the box saying "Do not return this product to store!" and telling you to contact customer support. Yeah, right. If a Tablo doesn't work right out of the box, I would suggest returning it without a second thought.

The Tablo Dual OTA DVR is absolutely the most impressive purchase I've made for quite some time.

From the easy setup to the exceptionally designed user interface and iOS application, this has truly changed our ability to watch OTA TV when we want and where we want.

Kudos to Ottawa, Canada based tech company Nuvyyo on an excellent product!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great product for Cord cutter, Annoying 1day tv guide
Reviewed in Canada on November 13, 2018
Verified Purchase
I'm now using this product for few weeks. I'm using Amazon 4K stick to access tablo and so far everything works well. Product is easy to use and reliable. My only complaint is about TV guide subscription fee which is too high for what you get. TV guide is broadcast free over the air. Tablo limit the TV guide to one day to sell more monthly subscription. Cord cutter rule is to reduce monthly subscription. I understand all business must make money but limiting what is free to force monthly subscription is kind of annoying. I'm welling to pay a minimum fee for additional usefull feature but 5.99US a month for a TV guide is high. I'm paying almost the same amount to be an Amazon prime member which give me free one day shopping, acess to movie and music.

1.0 out of 5 stars Weak channel reception...so disappointed.
Reviewed in Canada on February 18, 2018

Poor channel reception...at least in our area (Toronto West). The antenna paired with TABLO received fewer channel signals than the antenna alone attached to the TV. The HDTV indoor antenna I purchased received 13 channels with varying degrees of reception strength. But attached to TABLO, the TABLO Box/antenna was only able to detect 2 channels!! I rescanned for signals 3x in total and gave up in frustration. Needless to say, I returned the product.
