Tablo 4th Gen is a simple over the air DVR that shines for easy local recording, a friendly interface, and two tuner recording for two shows at once. It works well with Roku and Google TV, can fast forward through recordings, and the app also pulls in free streaming channels. The main knocks are slow menus and channel changes, occasional app or network glitches, and heat related reliability concerns. Storage is tight at 128GB, so an external drive is often needed, and ATSC 3.0 uncertainty hangs over its long term future.

Common Questions (5)

  • It can work well for OTA recording and playback, but several reports mention slow menus, occasional app/network disconnects, overheating, and units dying after about 1-2 years. Keeping it cool with good airflow, a fan, or upside-down placement may help, and the 1-year warranty has covered replacements for some failures.

  • Yes. Viewing is done through the Tablo app on a phone, tablet, or TV device, and performance depends heavily on a strong Wi‑Fi network and good antenna reception. Weak Wi‑Fi or poor signal is a common cause of lag and failed playback.

  • It only supports ATSC 1.0, so it will not receive NextGen TV/ATSC 3.0 broadcasts. Several comments say ATSC 1.0 is unlikely to disappear soon, but if you want 4K or future ATSC 3.0 features, this model is not the right choice.

  • Yes. The 2-tuner model can record two OTA shows at the same time, and the included 128GB can be expanded with a USB external drive, with 1TB commonly added. External storage is important because 128GB fills quickly.

  • It does not integrate with Fire TV live channels, so you have to use the Tablo app. It also is not the model that runs Plex; users looking for Plex integration are pointing to HDHomeRun instead.

I tried it, coming from TiVo. I found it slow to boot up and slow to change channels. I'm hoping for a TiVo-like OTA DVR replacement.

I haven't used it, but HDHomeRun is another option.

I have the original 2-tuner and it's been a workhorse. I use the legacy app, attic antenna, and 1TB external. I still can't justify updating to the newer interface, but this seems like a great deal.

That link lands on the legacy model beta firmware testing program page. This deal is for the Gen 2 tuner.

Forget the research I did, but got a refurb HD Homerun a year ago and been happy with it. I am not recording anything though, and I believe there is an annual fee for the channel lineup in order to record.

Basically zero setup just download the app on any device - it finds it on the network.

If you want to watch outside your network get a used Sling AirTV box. Can use it with a free sling account - but the interface is kinda crappy.

HD Homeun Flex Duo 2 tuner is all you need. I did the research for us all a few months ago.
