Tablo requires an internet connection?

For more recent confirmation of this, see the post below.

NEW - Tablo iOS App Update (v. 1.3.4)

You’ll still be able to use your iPad with your Tablo on your local network, even without an external interweb connection. All of the web smarts are actually built into the app, vs pointing at a static site and the large majority of our apps across all platforms have built-in network discovery so they can find the Tablo on the LAN even if the WAN is down.
