Was down at my folks' place yesterday. We installed the antenna using the existing coax cable from their old satellite dish. I wasn't able to remove the old mounting plate as their roof had been redone and the upper bolts were blocked by a new piece of metal trim.


I then climbed through their attic to find the other end of the coax and connect it to the cable outlet in their bedroom as they wanted to set up the Tablo on the small shelf behind the wall mounted TV.

We then set up their 4 turner TabloTV with a 5 TB USB hard drive. The Tablo communicates to the Roku devices plugged into each TV, such as this one in the family room:


It also communicates to other things, such as the Tablo App for your phone or tablet:


We still have some things to resolve though, in the guide listing there should also be subchannels 2-2, 2-3, etc. After I got home I did some research on that and suspect part of the issue is nobody's used a TabloTV in their town - if you plug in their zip code on the support page it comes back with:


So I talked to my dad this morning via FaceTime and had him do a new channel scan after changing the the zip code to mine. He's now able to access those channels. He did mention the light on the hard drive ended up lighting up their room as shows were being recorded, so when I'm next there we're going to relocate the Tablo to their office.

Overall I'm impressed with the Tablo - too bad it didn't exist when I cut the cord.
