I’ve been running the Tablo 4G since February on my older Firestick 4K (1st Gen, 2018). I’m not alone in seeing frequent app crashes using Tablo/Firestick.
Several people here have recommended the Onn Google TV 4K as an alternative, and at only $20 it seemed worth a shot.
I’ve been running the Onn Google TV 4K for about five days now, and the Tablo/Firestick’s most irritating problem (the Tablo app, when viewing either recorded or live TV, would stutter, then freeze, then crash) hasn’t happened at all on the Tablo/Onn.
There are a few well-known irritations of the Tablo that still occur on the Onn:
- The Library recordings often do not re-populate (this is always resolved by moving to another Library option, then back again – for example, from All Recordings to Sceduled then back to All Recordings).
- The Live Guide does not populate all channel info when in Favorites mode.
But in general, the Tablo experience has been much better with the Onn device.
