To see how to add a second legacy network-connected Tablo DVR to your network, go here.
If you would like to add a second 4th Generation Tablo device to your home network here are a few tips and tricks that will help:
Rename Your Tablo
We recommend that you rename your current Tablo device before starting the setup of your second Tablo. This will ensure you will be able to tell which Tablo is which when they are both connected to the network. Here is how you do so using different 4th Generation Tablo apps:
iPhone or iPad
Navigate to settings on the top right-hand corner of your screen.
Then scroll down to the About section, and select Name.
You'll then be able to type in a new name for your Tablo. This can be anything you want. When you are done, select Save.
Android Phone or Tablet
Navigate to settings on the top right-hand corner of your screen.
Then scroll down to the About section and select Edit Tablo Name.
You'll then be able to type in a new name for your Tablo. This can be anything you want. When you are done, select the enter/save button on your on-screen keyboard.
Setting Up Your New Tablo
To set up your new Tablo, open the Tablo app on your mobile phone. Select the the profile icon on the top right of your screen.
Select Add New Tablo then follow the directions on the screen.
Splitting Your Antenna Signal Can Reduce Signal Strength
Connecting a second Tablo to the same TV antenna using a splitter will result in a significant loss of signal strength. Tablo 4th Generation has a built-in 10dB amplifier that is on by default. This can help mitigate the signal loss. However, it is still possible to experience reception problems on some stations after splitting the signal.
How to Switch Between Tablo Devices
Once both Tablo units have been connected to your network, you will be able to switch between them from any of the devices that have the Tablo app. Here is how you do that using different clients:
iPad, iPhones, Android Phones and Tablets
Select the profile icon on the top right of the Tablo app. Both of your Tablo DVRs will be listed, select the one you wish to connect to.
On your TV
Navigate to the settings icon on the top right of your screen.
Select Switch Tablo then select the Tablo you wish to connect to.
