Tablo

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.

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.

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
