There are a couple of different ways you can tell which Tablo unit you have:
Using the Serial Number
You can identify which Tablo you have by the first three letters of the serial number. The serial number can be located on the very bottom of your Tablo unit, as well as the box the Tablo came in.
If the first three letters begin with:
| GI-C | This is a DUAL LITE or DUAL 128GB unit. |
| GI-Q | This is a QUAD or QUAD 1TB unit. |
| HD-A | This is a DUAL HDMI unit. |
| HQ-A | This is a QUAD HDMI unit. |
| LD-B | This is a 2-Tuner*, 4-Tuner* or DUAL 64GB unit* |

Using the Ports on the Back of the Unit
The ports on the back of your Tablo will help determine if you have a TV-connected Tablo or a network-connected Tablo. It can also help you identify if your network-connected Tablo is a DUAL or QUAD.
