[…]an outdoor antenna installed. If All Else Fails… If none of these work, the problem may be at Tablo’s servers. Unfortunately, Tablo Gen 4 requires an Internet connection to Tablo’s servers even to just watch live TV or play back a recording. On the weekend of September 8th, 2024, Tablo’s servers went down rendering all Gen 4 Tablos broken until the servers were restored: Over the weekend users were unable to access the Tablo app. This was the result of a problem with our servers and has been resolved. We apologize for any frustration or inconvenience this may have caused […]

[…]Dual has two tuners, so you can play or record two channels at the same time. There is also the Tablo Quad which can stream or record four shows at the same time. Network-Connected vs. TV-Connected Tablos Tablo comes in two major flavors: Network-Connected and TV-Connected. Many people (including me, initially), thought that the TV-Connected Tablo was just a regular Tablo with an HDMI output slapped on. But actually, there are some other important differences and limitations of the HDMI model that are immediately apparent! The original Tablo (not called Network-Connected) lets you watch recordings on streaming boxes Roku, Amazon […]

[…]my iPhone. Note, there are now two Tablo apps in the Apple App Store: “Legacy Tablo” and “Tablo”. Tablo Gen 4 uses the regular “Tablo” app. After I downloaded the app, I tried to log in using my old Tablo account information, but it didn’t recognize my credentials. I created a new account using the same email address and it didn’t balk, meaning that the old and new Tablo accounts are completely separate and independent. Even if you have an old Tablo account, you’ll have to create a new one. I chose to have the app guide me through the […]

[…]can be great if you want to catch a local sporting event while you’re traveling, for example. Tablo used to have this feature, but unfortunately, with the latest Gen 4 Tablo, you can’t watch your recordings or live TV through your device when away from home. 8. Time Shifting OK, this is probably the use case for a DVR that you were thinking about. There’s a sporting event or movie on TV but you won’t be at home at that time. Of course, all modern DVRs can take care of this with no problem, including the dirt-cheap generic DVRs. 9. […]

[…]project. More About the Tablo DVR If you choose to sell your Recast, I’d recommend getting a Tablo to replace it. I’ve been using Tablo DVRs for years and they’ve worked well for me. They’re easy to use, and you can attach external storage, which makes your storage capacity pretty darn huge. Read my full review of Tablo: Conclusion What are you going to do with YOUR Amazon Fire TV Recast? Let me know in the comments. – […]

[…]are complaining about, leading some to purchase a $20 ONN streaming box from Walmart to use their Tablo Gen 4s with. Hopefully Tablo will solve these issues soon. 2. HDHomeRun Flex and Scribe DVRs – Some Models Support ATSC 3.0 The HDHomeRun DVRs by Silicon Dust have lots of satisfied enthusiasts on various cord-cutting Facebook groups, with people praising the tuner quality as being the best out of the major DVRs. This is definitely the most “geeky” DVR, as it can be used with third-party software like PLEX and NextPVR, but that takes some independent research and effort. Certain models by […]

[…]a summary of all of the aspects that I compared between the AirTV and Tablo Generation 4: Feature AirTV 2 Tablo Generation 4 Physical Design Stands vertically (may result in better airflow) Horizontal Network Connectivity Ethernet and Wi-Fi Ethernet and Wi-Fi Ease of Setup Good Good Internal Storage Available with or without internal storage Has some internal storage but can add more.

[…]channel guide, of course. But, the HDHomeRun app also has the killer feature that I love in the Tablo app that shows all upcoming broadcast TV shows, movies, and sporting events! Unlike AirTV and TiVo, it’s not mixed with paid streaming content. On the HDHomeRun app, it’s in the Discover tab: I LOVE this feature! In the Tablo, it allowed me to discover so many great old movies that I would have missed otherwise. It makes broadcast TV feel like a paid streaming service! Mobile App: Can’t Watch Away from Home The iPhone app has the exact same interface as […]

[…]out paid streaming services so I could just see upcoming free broadcast TV content only. The Tablo DVR has a great grid of free upcoming content that is great for discovering new stuff to record. If you know what you are looking for, though, TiVo’s voice search works well. Overall, the core functionality when using the TiVo connected to a single TV in your home is decent, whereas the app leaves much to be desired. I would recommend the Tablo Gen 4 as an alternative because it has no channel guide fees (either one-time or recurring). If you want to […]

[…]it’s not as flashy as the channel guides on some of the more refined DVRs out there like the Tablo or AirTV. Those are much easier to set up recordings on, or even record whole seasons (however they require Internet access to display the guide). The Homeworx unit only shows one channel’s shows at a time. And note, you can’t record one show while watching another since the unit only has one tuner. But, as I mentioned, at this low price, this box is worth it just for the converter functionality. I see the DVR as a bonus that you […]
