Hello. I am currently a 4 tuner Firetv Recast user who is considering switching to the Gen 4 Tablo 4tuner that is coming out. But…after reading
so many posts on this forum about all the problems with Tablo…ie…channel guide data…unable to save favorites to channel guide…recording the wrong shows…etc. And Tablo’s response…“We’re working on it” reminds me of the headaches I go through with Amazon. Why do these companies put out a product that doesn’t fully work? Surely Scripps TV and Amazon have the resources to fix these issues, but it seems they really don’t care after the sale. I hope Tablo resolves all these issues down the road so I can give them a try. What do you all think?
It’s all about the bottom line.
Development does not bring in revenue. Sales do.
The old saying applies here. “Easier to ask forgiveness, than it is to get permission”

Get rid of that Recast I sold mine long ago, you will be so impressed with the picture quality upgrade with Tablo. This works 98% fine. Slight issues with icons filling out once in a while and that is about it. Also keep in mind, most people that have 0 problems and things are working well, do not come to forums like this, so kinda skewed on what you see, going to be mostly negative.
Had mine months and months and just preordered the 4 tuner model off Bestbuys. Sure some will have issues as we all use different devices and do different things, but overall I would say unless your using an AppleTV device, get this as might be the best OTA DVR next to TiVo.

The Tablo Gen 4 (2 tuner), even with the initial problems far exceeds my Recast. I dumped the Recast and haven’t regretted it. The tuners are better, the look and feel of the user interface is fast, intuitive and non-cluttered and it’s tiny. Tablo has been very quick about fixing issues too. I have submitted several bug reports and they respond back quickly with questions and request for more info. I’ve only had it a few months and they have already had a firmware update and several app updates which fixed ALL the problems I had. I’m still waiting for the Apple TV app, but other than that, I’d give them 5 stars. I’ve actually never seen such support, certainly not from Amazon.
Thanks for your reassurance. You do make a great point that most people on this forum are those with problems. I will check out the 4 tuner Gen 4 soon!
