Recover hard drives? Sell Tablo?

Support & Troubleshooting
1

So with the issues I’ve been having, I’m thinking of dumping my Tablos. I’ve not totally made up my mind, but would like some direction if I do go that route.

Can I salvage the portable HDD’s? I know they are ‘mated’ to the Tablo, but can you revert them back to blank status and use them as portable drives?

Ref. the Tablos themselves. Is there a procedure posted somewhere where you can factory reset these so I could Ebay them w/o any account info carrying thru?

I absolutely hate the idea of paying for TV, but I also hate having to fiddle with this thing. It had been pretty rock solid, but now the issues are mounting. And with the fall TV season coming up, I need to make a decision soon.

Thanks for any advice!

@Vegas_Steve, I share your pain. I too was at a crossroads for a while and I eventually decided it was time to retire my Tablo in favor of my Plex OTA solution. I ran them both in parallel for about 3 months and in all that time I only logged into my Tablo unit to see if it was still up and running and recording. Beyond that all my TV watching was done through Plex. :slight_smile:
