    The DVR functionality is what I wanted. I have 2 issues with using live TV and the guide. 1. The guide let's you choose 'all channels' or 'favorites', but it defaults to 'all channels'. You should be able to either select your default choice, or default to favorites. 2. There is no channel up/down functionality, you have to back out to the guide every time you want to view a new channel ( and the guide is back to showing all channels). Tablo really needs to fix this issue.

    • @disablemycable
      @disablemycable 3 дні тому

      Yes, when I use the iOS app, I can't select Favorites anymore for some reason! (it's greyed out). I need to investigate that. I also hear on you the channel up/down functionality, but actually a lot of broadcast TV DVRs are extremely slow to switch channels. The AirTV is even worse. Switching channels is much faster on Tablo if you can believe it. - Brian

Prefer my verizon even though I hate their other services. Also we had a power/phone/cable line go down last year, Took out power for about 3 hours, but it took out phone for a week for our neighbors, and 2 and a half weeks of cable for the rest. We had all internet as soon as the power was back up.

    I got here from an article you wrote. Thanks for this! I am a high income earner who absolutely depends on internet for my work. My local fiber ISP has been SO annoyingly flakey. I’m actually getting this as my back up internet and at the lower price point, it’ll be PERFECT to get me through fiber outages. And if Verizon ends up being fast and reliable, I may eventually drop fiber. I just love those 900 mbps speeds 🤣

    • @disablemycable

      Hi, thanks for commenting! Yeah, 5G Home Internet is a great backup to cable/fiber because it relies on totally different technologies. So if, say, harsh weather takes out the fiber, then 5G will probably still be ok. I get max speeds of 300mbps. Reliability has been very good for me. - Brian

    I’ve had AT&T Internet Air for three weeks and it’s terrible. Speeds are very sporadic and inconsistent, pings are horrible. I’m not that close to the tower, but I get five bars. DL speed can be as low as 12-13Mbs, never over 100, usually in the 20s to low 30s. UL speed in the single digits, pings 60 to over 200. Not recommended and will quit as soon as I can line something else up, no contract thank goodness.

    On my free Sing Account, (not Free stream Sling) it shows I have 10 hours for DVR recordings. If I get an Air 2Tv device and attach to my antenna and connect to my internet, if I schedule to record off the air tv with the free sling TV app, will that directly record to my app, or must I record it to a hard drive and than upload to my app?

    • @disablemycable

    Has anyone else given a deposit to Verizon of $150 and then suddenly pay a low amount one month and then tell you that they put it towards your bill something you never requested? Well I just happened to me I don't understand who they're hiring at these corporations but these women are more deviant than Satan himself. You need to watch what they're doing with your money first off I sent back my cable box in February they never credited it to me until now in fact it's not quite going through, I don't understand what's wrong with them I don't understand what college they come out of and I don't know what kind of practice is they're getting away with but nobody seems to be able to stop them from being crooked. If I sent my box back and only kept cable that means I'm spending close to $49 a month so why would they have used my $150 to lower my bill to $14 I didn't know them anything I paid my bill every single month. Who's running this company again is it somebody out of SingaporeI find it really degrading and quite ridiculous for them to treat us so ignorantly I should have got back that $150 fee after a year and they never gave it back to me now they're telling me they paid a bill I did not owe $150 in April so how could they possibly have taken it towards my bill? All I know is that America is being run now by women mostly white women and nothing's adding up nobody's doing anything everyone wants to stay home and work in their pajamas and they are ripping us off at 10 times the speed of the white American male when he had everything up. 😮 When will the deceiving practices end the Democratic party has brought nothing but moronic idiots in from community college and people with no college to run America and take advantage of us and we're paying six times over for one bill and I don't understand who's running these companies but you can't blame it on the white man anymore.

    Cox just cut the cord for me. They discontinued cable service in my area and forced me on to fiber. Their new Contour "DVR" is not a DVR, it's a streamer with some magic "Cloud DVR" functionality. You can get 2, 6, or 24 "tuners" but the whole thing is 100% dependent on having a solid Internet connection; there are no locally-stored recordings. I went looking for a TiVo OTA DVR but it looks like they are all discontinued and existing stocks are sold out. I've had several TiVo DVRs over the years and they are way better than anything else I've seen, but, . . . I guess it's the end of an era.

I use PLEX as I get better value from it, but the HD HomeRun works well too, and you can pay (I believe) $35 per year for DVR through Home Run. Though with a PLEX Lifetime Pass which I purchased for I wanna say about $40 a few years ago now its free to use the DVR feature, and they also do a great job of being able to pause/FF/RW live TV. Plex DVR also does a great job encoding Intros and AD-Skippers so when you watch your DVR you have the option to "Skip Ads" like you do on UA-cam (or you can opt to have the AI remove them altogether which I don't suggest just in case it misses and cuts out part of your program).

I am very impressed, and was surprised to find how much programming that I love is available free of charge. I ditched cable/satellite 4 years ago and have never looked back. Tablo combined with a few streaming services is far superior to cable/satellite, at least for me. Thanks for this great review.

      Yes, that is true. But, I haven't had to reset my unit in several months now. I think reliability is improving. - Brian

    I bought the new quad version but still waiting for the Apple TV update. In the meantime I found a legacy new in the box for $60 and it plays nice with Apple. Once they get the Apple TV working I’ll start using the gen 4

    I ordered this today as my backup to my Comcast, which is reliable. But when Comcast is down it can be for a few hours. My wife and I both work from home so his hopefully be a great backup if needed. The 5-year Verizon price cap means I do not have to worry about an increase for a while.

      Good idea if Internet is critical to you. I think 5G is more likely to keep working during adverse weather conditions, for example. - Brian

    I just purchased a Tablo 4th Gen 4 tuner DVR today and this is what I found. 1. I cannot watch streaming channels, buffering and Tablo re-boots. Sometimes I watch a few seconds of video before it freezes. I know I do not have internet bandwidth issues. This appears to be a major defect in the Tablo 4 4tuner unit. 2. I have not hooked up any additional Hard Drives that could be blamed. 3. I have 1GB internet connection and all my other devices work fine. 4. In the setting there is no way to set the resolution. Why? 5. It doesn’t seem possible to add other streaming services which don’t work to the Tablo 4 Guide. 6. Like the Legacy Tablo, this version also loads the guide very slowly, unlike what I see with Amazon Firecast. 7. My question is how you could Tablo offer a product with so many defects. The settings menu offers nothing helpful. 8. I had high hopes this DVR would replace my Firecast which is no longer sold by Amazon with the end-of-life nearing. 9. Today I am thinking of doing a UA-cam Video discouraging people from purchasing this product.

      I have the Tablo 4th Gen 2 tuner and while the initial install was rough. Tech support had me resetting and downloading new firmware after which it has been running great. I have a Samsung so I had to get the latest Roku 4K stick which was fine since the old Roku had been discontinued several years ago. As to resolution it passes what it gets from OTA or streaming. While it nice to be able to record streaming, for me none are worth recording. I prefer the freedom of the Roku for available streaming apps.

    You didn't mention whether it can DVR streaming channel shows

    • @disablemycable
      @disablemycable 2 місяці тому

      AirTV cannot record streaming channel shows. Tablo Gen 4 can do it, but only the streaming channels it comes with: www.disablemycable.com/blog/tablo-gen-4/

    Hi there, can this device be used in Australia? Or can you recommend something similar for Australia please?

    • @disablemycable

      Sorry, this won't work in Australia; neither will Air TV. HD Homerun might, but you'd have to confirm.

    Will the companies make better Antennas soon for people who can't get any channels , such as ground floor condo bldgs apartments and/ or concrete bldgs and living many miles from a TV stations ( 50-75 miles away) ?

    • @disablemycable
      @disablemycable 2 місяці тому

      Those distances are prohibitively far to receive land-based TV signals on the ground floor, as the curvature of the Earth starts to come into play. The only thing that might help is putting your antenna as high up as possible.

      @@disablemycable I guess I am out of luck. Since I don't use the condo 6-8 months out of the year , I didn't want to spend the money to pay for cable service all year long.
