When you move to a new home with your Tablo, the following steps need to be taken:
STEP 1 - Install Your TV Antenna
Make sure that your TV antenna is installed in an optimal location and is the right type of model for your new home. If you move closer or further from your local broadcast towers, or to an area where channels are broadcast on VHF frequencies, you may need a new antenna.
You will also need to ensure your antenna is connected to the coaxial port on the back of your Tablo.
STEP 2 - Connect Your Tablo to the Internet
To connect your Tablo to the internet, you do not need to factory reset. If your Tablo will be located adjacent to your router, we recommend using an Ethernet connection.
If an Ethernet connection is not possible, you will need to use Wi-Fi. Look at the blue LED on the Tablo, it should be in one of two states:
- Solid Blue
- Pulsing
If the LED is solid blue, your Tablo already has an internet connection. This would likely be the case if you are using the same router with the same Wi-Fi name and password. In this case, you may proceed to the next step. If you need to change the Wi-Fi network your Tablo is on, do so.
If the blue LED light is pulsing, your Tablo is in wireless setup mode. In that case, set your Tablo up on your Wi-Fi network.
STEP 3 - Update Your ZIP Code and Perform a New Channel Scan
If you moved to a new ZIP code, you will need to update your ZIP code on your Tablo. To do so, change your Tablo's location. Once that's done, run a new channel scan.
STEP 4- Update Scheduled Recordings If Needed
For legacy Tablo devices with an active subscription, as well as 4th Generation Tablo devices, your recordings will continue as long as they are available in your new area. If you do not have an active subscription on your legacy Tablo device, you will need to adjust your scheduled recordings manually.
