Unlike legacy Tablo models, the 4th Generation Tablo does not require a subscription of any kind. There are no subscriptions, contracts, or hidden fees with those Tablo models whatsoever.
All legacy Tablo OTA DVRs (both new and refurbished) come with a free 30-day trial of our TV Guide Data subscription so users can enjoy Tablo's advanced DVR features, right out of the box.
However, a subscription to the optional guide data service is recommended for the best viewing experience since it enables some of Tablo's cooler features including series recordings.
After the 30-day free trial, the TV Guide Data Service subscription costs $4.99 USD/month.
You can register and purchase subscriptions for legacy Tablo DVRs at: https://account.tablotv.com/
