Why can't I watch my 4th gen on my computer?

Best Buy says I can:

"Smart TV, streaming device, tablet, or phone. Tablo lets you watch TV anywhere in your home on any device."

How? Does it serve up a webpage like the legacy devices do?

You’re right. Best Buy’s product information for the 4th Gen Tablo is quite misleading. Unfortunately, they do not share the side of the box which lists the devices it does work on.

I’m hoping that the browser version eventually becomes available, but I wonder how well it will work with the change in compression from legacy models.

I could really go for a browser based solution. I do a LOT of viewing in my home office, and not being able to watch on my computer is a bit of a PITA.

I recommend that you try to get a legacy Tablo. Watching TV on my computer is pretty much the only time I use my legacy now. I use my 4th gen for everything else.

This is a workaround. But I use BlueStacks X, android emulator in windows.

I went with Windows Android subsystem and side loading the play store, beats Bluestacks ads and subscription
