THANK YOU! You're the only person so far that shows that "TABLO" is a channel that you add like the OTHER Roku channels! I wasn't understanding that, until YOUR presentation!
I was a early adopter of the Tablo unit way back before the new units offered a internal hard drive. I actually prefer the external drive due to the heat of the units. I have had a external fail and prefer the ease of throwing another in its place. Quad makes it easy to still watch on more than one TV at a time and still record multiple programs. Glad to have the lifetime subscription in place so no month or yearly fees. Love telling the sales people pushing cable or Sat. that I have an antenna on the roof getting over 100 channels and DVR recorder. They just look lost as how to stop the conversation. Love the Tablo Ripper app also so I can add recorded content to my home video files.
Love the Quad you showed and have been using it for over 4 years. Tried out their new 4th gen and sent it back after 3 days. Slow, no commercial skip and could not hold a candle to the older model. Big step backwards...
For years I was using the original Air TV and I just got one of these. It's SOOO much better. I'm getting a few more channels and the channels I get are much reliable. If I had known I would have gotten one years ago.
@ 14:32 you mention Tablo is changing their subscription so after July you can't skip commercials. Is this for recordings too or just stream content? So if I record a show, can I skip the commercials or not? Thx for the video!
@@N_Fortune for me, yes. They have their pros and cons. For example I think you need a TiVo (or mini) for each tv whereas you dont for Tablo. Tivo also seems a little more sided towards streaming vs OTA.
@@NaterTater ...sorry, one more question. So the only difference between this & the Tablo QUAD HDMI is this requires internet but the HDMI works off an HDMI port to work, right? I just got done scanning for my local channels using the MOHU Leaf and signal was decent for most channels but still couldn't get MeTV for some reason... Oh yeah & I just subscribed! =)
Interesting, I bought it about a year ago and it didn't include a HDD. I put a 120 MB drive in and have been satisfied except that I seem to have a multi path signal problem even though I am just 12 miles from the station. The result is occasional buffering. ATSC3 might fix that. I would recommend new purchasers wait for the 3.0 model.
Nate, I have been using Tablo for two years and love it. I have never used the Remote Access until now. Well I can't get it to work. I have two questions. 1) I have Verizon 5G Home Internet. I have the box type Modem Router combo. I can not get my Tablo Remote access to connect to it. I did turn on the UPnP but I can't see the IP address to see if it is correct. Can you hook it up to the Verizon Modem/Router combination? If not, can I buy another router and hook it up so I can use Tablo's Remote Access? Thanks!
how do you port so you can watch when away from home? On my cell, it says your router requires manual configuation. Also will making changes to the router interfere with you home devices?
Hello, I loved your presentation and am very interested in purchasing this unit…. You mentioned that the “skip commercials” take up alot of bandwidth if turned on. Can you turn it off and still be able to fast forward through the commercials of your recordings.??? Thank you for your time……..
Bought a Tablo hoping to get OTA channels like you. The Tablo won't receive 29 channels that my TV does! The transmission towers are 14 miles away all in the same direction. I contacted Tablo to find out why I can't receive the same channels as my TV but they can't give me a straight answer or offer any help. I wish I had never bought it!
Did you use a splitter on the coax feeding your TV? If yes was it a powered splitter? If no get a powered splitter to avoid signal loss. If you’re still not happy and if it’s a Tablo quad HDMI I’d be interested in purchasing it from you
On the very top where it says Tablo it will give a tab that says switch Tablos. Can you hook up more than one tablo? I have one already but would like to hook up another. Keep up the good work Nater Tater.
I like the quality of the uncompressed ota tv signals we have. Football games and hockey look great compared to HD cable. What does tablo do to that signal? Does it compress it?
Nate I bought the Tablo and love it but I can not seem to be able to set up the port forwarding on my Asus router to watch Tablo on my tablet when I am out of town. Do you have any suggestions?
@@NaterTater Yeah....I read somewhere (couple months ago) that the 3.0 capable box was delayed for release because they had to upgrade it so that it would allow subscription services which the 3.0 spec allows.
Hi, I have a question. I have a Sony dumb tv..TV... meaning, it's not a smart TV and that's why it's dumb tv lol... Will it stream or do I need a smart tv to get it to stream ? Did I understand that correctly ? Thank you 😊
We have a non smart tv but we do have a Roku. We were able to set up the Dual box to our TV. Our TV is far from our router so used wireless connection and not Ethernet. The Tablo comes up as a channel on Roku. We are going to try the HDMI version to see if the lag time improves significantly.
Because of the many rave reviews of the Tablo Quad I purchased one directly from the manufacturer. I was able to set it up successfully but after that it was a total dud. I would have to constantly power cycle to allow my network to find it. I contacted customer service for help and I enabled remote for them to troubleshoot and they couldn't connect either. After 5 days of going back and forth with CS I finally got fed up and requested a refund and I had to pay for the return shipping on a defective product.
the white disc is the 4th gen tablo and it has ethernet as well as wifi. but it does not have hdmi to directly plug into a tv, your tv needs ethernet/wifi so it has a network connection.
The AirTV Tuners, by Sling, have all of their features for free. The same features, that Tablo charge a subscription to use, are free within the AirTV tuners.
They weren't in the free version before as far as I recall (atleast not recently). The commerical skipping has gone away except for those grandfathered in.
They do have some nice features but they have not yet embraced ATSC3.0 that I am aware of.I use HDHOMERUN and also have their DVR.Every time I ask Tablo when they will have an ATSC3.0 tuner their customer service team has no idea what it even is.
This video was of an Infomercial type of programming. You should verbally tell viewers that the product that you are featuring is a Paid Promotion and if the product was sent to you for free. Did you pay for this product? How much does this product cost? There's no problem with receiving a product for free but let your viewers know verbally.
Thanks for your feedback. It's a personal review, I'm not paid to promote the product. I get the product for free to test and make a video (as stated in the video description and 20sec start of video overlay). I'm in no way obligated to give a positive review and in fact point out several flaws of this product as well as completely bash some other products on my channel where fitting. No doubt there are plenty of infomercial channels but I strive to give honest reviews based on actual testing.

Can you use the Tablo Ripper to record to an external dvd recorder to save programs on a dvd? Thank you
Love the Quad you showed and have been using it for over 4 years. Tried out their new 4th gen and sent it back after 3 days. Slow, no commercial skip and could not hold a candle to the older model. Big step backwards...
The 4th gen has certainly changed in several major areas.
For years I was using the original Air TV and I just got one of these. It's SOOO much better. I'm getting a few more channels and the channels I get are much reliable. If I had known I would have gotten one years ago.
@ 14:32 you mention Tablo is changing their subscription so after July you can't skip commercials. Is this for recordings too or just stream content? So if I record a show, can I skip the commercials or not? Thx for the video!
You can always skip them manually. They ended the automatic skip feature.
@@NaterTater Thx for the quick response and for confirming! Also would you recommend this over TiVo?
@@N_Fortune for me, yes. They have their pros and cons. For example I think you need a TiVo (or mini) for each tv whereas you dont for Tablo. Tivo also seems a little more sided towards streaming vs OTA.
@@NaterTater Awesome, thx again!

Yes you can have multiple Tablos and switch between them on devices.

it does
Trying to find this unit you have can you tell me if it’s after 4th generation or before? I like it because it’s 4 turners
Before. 3rd gen
Okay thanks. Can you tell me if gen 3 is better than 4?
@darrylgrace401 I can't. They are different, each has pros/cons.
@@NaterTater do the gen 3 also have the free channel line up or does it cost?
Can you run this strictly off Roku or a Firestick, I don’t have an outside antenna
It needs an OTV antenna. You can use an indoor antenna like this: th-cam.com/video/0H0uTTFiDW4/w-d-xo.html
Nate I bought the Tablo and love it but I can not seem to be able to set up the port forwarding on my Asus router to watch Tablo on my tablet when I am out of town. Do you have any suggestions?
What ISP do you have?
@@NaterTater T mobile with Asus AX3000
I have the wifi on gateway turned off so everything is going through router
@@waynes2183 t-mobile blocks all incoming traffic so your port forwarding on the asus wont work. th-cam.com/video/SgQAGbSn0Y8/w-d-xo.html
I have a network connection one and hate when it buffers
Didn't they delay their 3.0 ATSC tuner box?
This is ATSC 1.0 capable, there is a 3.0 capable one coming out later. It's available for preorder now but not shipping yet.
@@NaterTater Yeah....I read somewhere (couple months ago) that the 3.0 capable box was delayed for release because they had to upgrade it so that it would allow subscription services which the 3.0 spec allows.

Hi Billie, Tablo can help make your TV "smart" but you'll need to get the Tablo that has the HDMI port to plug into your dumb TV.
We have a non smart tv but we do have a Roku. We were able to set up the Dual box to our TV. Our TV is far from our router so used wireless connection and not Ethernet. The Tablo comes up as a channel on Roku. We are going to try the HDMI version to see if the lag time improves significantly.

Was your tablo connected to your network via ethernet cable or wifi?
They don't sale anymore
with 1TB or Internal Memory
Yes they still do but only direct I think, not Amazon. See link in the video description.
@@NaterTater SOLD OUT
Wish they still had the lifetime subscription... That way I wouldn't have to set it and completely forget it
It's not able to receive the new 4K stations transmitting ATSC 3.0 is it? What good it that if I can get a regular DVR for $35?
Steve is back!
Unfortunately the Tablo quad HDMI is unavailable only the new white disc which requires WiFi
the white disc is the 4th gen tablo and it has ethernet as well as wifi. but it does not have hdmi to directly plug into a tv, your tv needs ethernet/wifi so it has a network connection.

Too bad the auto commercial skipping and series recording went to paid subscription. Would be a no brainer if that remained inbthe free version. :(
They weren't in the free version before as far as I recall (atleast not recently). The commerical skipping has gone away except for those grandfathered in.
