What customers say
Cord cutters appreciate the Tablo DUAL LITE for its flexible over the air DVR capabilities, allowing simultaneous recording and whole home streaming without mandatory monthly fees for basic functions. Users value accessing live and recorded shows across various platforms like Roku and mobile devices, noting excellent picture quality. A key drawback is the reliance solely on network streaming, as it lacks a direct HDMI output. Furthermore, the need for an external hard drive and antenna adds initial cost. While popular for customizing OTA viewing, some users find the interface less intuitive and report potential buffering issues dependent on home network strength. Advanced features require a subscription.
