Can I get access to my Live Tablo feed and/or my recordings while I am traveling? I have on of the original quad Tablo units if that makes a difference.
If this is not a current feature are there any plans to allow remote access in the future?
The Legacy Tablo offers out-of-home viewing with the monthly guide subscription. The current Gen4 Tablo doesn’t offer any out-of-home viewing yet. The only info is that they “are working on it”.
Hello, do you now have a new Gen4 Tablo? If not, and you’re still using your old Legacy Tablo, check out this article for how to set up Tablo Connect.
I have it working on my OG Legacy Tablo.
BTW, I don’t believe you need the monthly subscription to watch live or recorded content from the Legacy Tablo.
Here is a response from the Tablo folks not that long ago.
You do need a subscription to use the Remote Connect feature of the legacy Tablos.
I didn’t realize that, but I just read it in the link I posted above. Wow, I didn’t realized all the features that aren’t available without a subscription.

IMHO, when Tablo dumped the “lifetime” sub option, it really hurt my ability to recommend them at all. Simply put, there are better more featureful options out there that cost less. However, the new 4th gen, while it’s lacking features, is very affordable. Just no “remote” unless you build that all out on your own. Sadly, my “go to” recommendation, which would be Plex DVR, well, Plex has been behaving really badly lately. So… I’m sort of stuck without an OTA DVR recommendation that “will please” all at the moment. I still own two 2-tuner OG Tablos, both with single sub (no longer done), lifetime (no longer done) subscriptions.
IMO Plex went downhill many years ago.
Getting off topic, but Plex, to me, is fine, until recently, you can configure and toss their “sideline business” crap. But, their latest forced client update is absolute garbage… and they’re doubling down on “knowing” what is best for the end user, even if it means they “can’t” do what they want to anymore (loss of many features, etc.). Does Plex listen (at all) to their customer base? The answer right now, a resounding “no”. Combined with an extreme price increase (for poor souls that didn’t go lifetime ages ago when it was dirt cheap).
I’ll terminate my discussion of this because I could go on and on about idiotic things companies do at users expense.
We now return you to your original discussion…
