This this is awesome

This is the closest thing to TiVo I that is out there. With one big exception— it is free now with NO subscription! Now I only need 1 antennae which can now be placed in the optimum position regardless of all my TVs’ locations. I can even watch tv on my iPad!
The menus are intuitive and super user friendly. Setup was super easy. Best $100 I have ever spent.

2.2.0

Horrible update. This update disabled the app on my Apple TV due to audio issues. I have to disable my speaker system that previously worked fine with Tablo.

It also broke the app on my iPad. Putting the video to full screen now fills only ⅔ of the screen leaving a black L shaped box around what video I do have.

Last update SUCKS!

The latest update prevents watch any of my programs in horizontal viewing on my Ipad. I don’t want to watch in vertical mode I want to view my programs on my Ipad just like I would on my TV. The guide doesn’t update automatically and half the time doesn’t work manually either. Another example of a terrible software update.

Portrait View

Latest update is only in portrait mode. Please fix.

Used to be good. Now horrible

Was good in the beginning. Can’t watch anything anymore. Go on a channel and it immediately freezes. Every other app works fine. But not Tablo. Trash now
