Relatively new user from Colorado Springs here. Cancelled DirecTV in early December 2024 and picked up a couple of streaming services. Also bought a Tablo 4th generation at the same time.
I’ve been relatively happy with the Tablo. Only have 2 complaints. First, you can’t watch recorded programs when the internet is down (that’s rare, but it happened last week when the weather was bad and we stayed inside). Second, we set a 5 program limit on Bonanza on MeTV which we watch once or twice a week. If a new Bonanza is being recorded, the Tablo will delete the oldest program while your watching it (we’ve gotten in the habit of watching the next to last recording to avoid that).
