Recording Features
One-Click Series Recording
With a single click, you can record an episode or schedule an entire TV series. Tablo will continue to record that series automatically until you unschedule it.
Advanced Recording Options
Customize your recording schedules by adding recording time to the start or end of a program, set limits on how many recordings in a series to keep and even specify the channel from which to record.
Smart scheduling
Automatically avoid recording re-runs and add extra time to live events so you never miss the end of the big game.
Playback Features
Full Playback Control
When you’re watching your favorite show with Tablo, you’re in control thanks to pause, rewind and fast-forward features.
Fast-forward previews
On completed recordings, Tablo provides preview thumbnails so you can skip right to the best part.
Time Shifting
Prefer to watch on ‘tape delay’? No problem! You can start watching in-progress recordings as little as 30 seconds after they begin.
Playback of in-progress recordings cannot be started from the beginning of the program on iOS or Android mobile devices due to player software limitations.
Closed captioning
Whether you’re hard of hearing or like to watch TV with closed captions, Tablo has you covered.
Closed captioning is unavailable on live or recorded OTA (over-the-air) streams via 4th Generation Tablo apps on Samsung and LG smart TVs. Neither smart TV platform accepts the closed captioning format embedded in broadcast TV video delivered via Tablo devices.
Surround Sound
Enjoy rich 5.1 surround sound, when available, on connected devices that can decode this audio format.
