I read some reviews on the Tablo about that. I was really rolling the dice though. I was hoping my current setup was going to work with 4 tuners. I was wrong. I still wanna see what the Channel Master will do. If that works that will keep my wife happy and I’ll just tell her I sold this. Of course, I’ll have to explain the 50 hours a week I’m spending still trying to make the Tablo work. 
So there is a diff between the 2 on how well they pick up TV then?
I’m giggling at the other part btw. 
Actually the more I think about that tho… 50 hours working on trying to get this to work actually sounds about right.
with all else the same, the 2 tuner will have a stronger signal and easier reception. If it was weak to begin with, a preamp should be considered. If it was good without splitting, distribution amp. If it is “noisy”, a better antenna is the first step.
I was looking at the diff of the new antenna & the old with my fancy $40 tuner & it’s rabbit ears & the Tablo with it’s new 30 mile radius one. Really didn’t see much of a diff other than the rabbit ears pixilated a few times & the new one didn’t. The super fancy 5 year old tuner doesn’t crash other apps or have silly 3Mbps restrictions when cast either.
Again I’m right next to all the towers tho. It’s also just flat swamp land too around me. When I did the map look up of what channels I should get, they’re all 5-10 miles from me.
stupid swamp trees eating your RF… slight elevation boost could dramatically impact signal…
Katrina… trees are gone 
Never guess where I live huh? LOL
My understanding is they already have LNA’S built in

or put a LNA(Low Noise Amplifier) in the Tablo to offset internal splitter loss.
Adding antennae should be for actual reception issues, not overcoming signal loss due to splitting…

if so, turn them up a bit… 
I put a KT-500 Amp in that TabloFan suggested. It did improve signal and I actually pulled like 5 more stations in. I’m betting the Tablo-2 probably would work better. I just wanted everything to run off the table. No wires. Antenn, amp, Tablo, all in the basement (which is where I’m sleeping now since I got this thing).
Antenna in the basement? no wonder you have issues…
seriously, for the minimalist look of “no wires”, how is your WiFi? I think “N” has optimal penetration… (AC is faster, but less range)
Ha! No, that’s outside. Actually, I’m hardwired to Tablo. Also, just upgraded my Commycast Router yesterday since it was a free upgrade. Before I had N but only 2.4Ghz. The new one does both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz AND has AC. I’ve never had a problem with my wireless. I can stream Plex anywhere in the house or outside.
But, I didn’t split the Antenna to all the rooms. I was trying to avoid that, just use devices for TV or Recordings. That’s what you’re SUPPOSED to be able to do, right?
Yes, I got fed up on Live and went with HDHR for that. Tablo has been great for me as a DVR ONLY.
Keeps my viewing by Device (Shield/ NP) and my antenna stuff in a separate hidey hole.
Hard to put the toothpaste back in the tube.
You use a $200 HR just for live tv? :-o
$200- that would be the Extend, I have the Connect…
ahhh… hehe
Channel Master just emailed me this new product. More hardware to throw at the Tablo? http://www.channelmaster.com/TV_Antenna_LTE_Filter_p/cm-3201.htm
only if you are REALLY close to a cell tower…
Isn’t everyone close to one now adays?
