I just noticed that they are offering a 10% discount on both the 2-tuner and 4-tuner models through 8/8. This is the first sale I have seen for the Tablo, so if you are interested in getting your first one or just adding to your collection, this is a good time to do so.
Sales tax and shipping seem to be the big differences between ordering directly through Tablo or using Newegg. If I buy through Tablo, I don’t have to pay sales tax, but I do have a $12.00 shipping fee. If I use Newegg, I have to pay sales tax (which is a pretty high 9.25% in Nashville), but I can get free supersaver shipping. The NewEgg sale is a better price with the 10% discount, but normally buying through Tablo is cheaper for me.
I just ordered my first Tablo (2 tuner) and a Western Digital My Passport Ultra 1TB and am very excited to call the cable company and tell them see ya once it is setup.
I was also able to do a free trial to Newegg premier and got free 3 day shipping but it estimates it will be delivered tomorrow since it’s shipping from a nearby distro facility. I can’t wait!
Wow… can’t believe there are so many peeps from TN! I just ordered mine today from Newegg as well… hate paying the ridiculous sales tax, but the discount covered most of it and it will be here tomorrow!! I had a SimpleTV and that thing was a turd… died on me in less than a week, and I wasn’t really even using it yet.
