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
Can’t watch on iPad in horizon position
Before last update I could use the app in the horizon position on my iPad now the menus only can be viewed correctly in the vertical positions. Please fix.
Update
Latest update only allows portrait view for schedule and it is tiny on the iPad why ?
Great concept, embarrassing execution
The iPad version makes you watch it on a tiny screen, a joke. App cuts out no matter the internet signal strength. First device crashed in the middle of a game and had to return.
Unreliable
An Apple update in April 2026 killed audio for Tablo app for Apple devices. Numerous emails with Tablo support resulted in their blaming Apple. Tablo advised that a “workaround” would help, but the workaround was unsuccessful. Eventually the communications ended with Tablo’s declaring that they knew about the problem, and that they had no plan to fix their software. After three months they finally fixed it. Despite the recent fix, the app continues to crash frequently. Also, its cache must be manually cleared periodically. For AppleTV, the only way to do that is to delete the app and then reinstall.

Gets worse with every software release
I wanted to love Tablo and the antennas are great. But with every upgrade it gets more unusable. It seems like their business model didn’t count on the level of development needed to make the platform top notch.
iPad Portrait mode only?
Seems stuck in portrait mode. Now very hard to use in landscape mode, which is my ROTATION LOCK.
Works fair on Apple TV HD hardware but…
Works fair on my Apple TV HD, some staccatoing still.
But other than that product works as advertised.
Problem though my saved recordings from my Apple TV cannot playback on my Roku TV, I think some kind of audio issue.
But programs recorded on the Roku app playback fine on the Apple TV.
If you could work out that software/hardware problem that would be good.
Also would be nice to have a local channel only mode just like it does when there’s no Internet, I’m not interested in the other channels.
Thanks

New version orients vertically. Why
Open the iPad app and we’re now greeted with a forced portrait orientation. What’s the reason? It is user hostile. TV is usually viewed in landscape mode. So why is the guide and home screen portrait? Someone should get fired. Seriously.
They broke it again!
As usual…….these people have no clue what they are doing…….every update that is supposed to fix something breaks something else that was fixed before…..This time it’s landscape view on a table…….AGAIN!!!!!! And AGAIN!!!!!!
Latest update
Hate the change to only allow portrait view of schedule and library!
App doesn’t work
The app doesn’t work. It gives an error message and will not play. Apple points the finger at tablo and tablo points the finger tablo points to apple. We the us ears are the losers.
App stuck in iPhone format
Since the recent Apple update, the Tablo app is stuck in the iPhone format on my iPad. I have closed and reopened, and deleted and reinstalled. No change.
Doesn't Work With Apple
An Apple update in April 2026 killed audio for Tablo. Numerous emails with Tablo support ended with Tablo declaring that they know about the problem, and that they have no plan to fix their software.
Apple Tablo 4th gen problems
Better to stick w the old version. This new version has multiple issues. Doesn’t work with windows.Can’t watch and record w AppleTv.
Subtitles don’t work w AppleTv. How a new and improved version should be much worse than the older legacy version is very bizarre. Tried to use w a new LG smart TV and it was slightly more compatible but still the subtitles did not work.

It’s great despite getting kicked out!
I don’t like when in the middle of the show, it takes you back to the Home Screen, but regardless, I have to give it five stars. I strongly suggest you do the same. Thank you.
