With an active TV Guide Data Service subscription, and once set up on your primary television, Tablo QUAD HDMI can stream live and recorded antenna TV on up to four secondary televisions in your home without the need for additional proprietary hardware.

 

Technical Considerations/Requirements

As Tablo DUAL HDMI and Tablo QUAD HDMI DVRs display and record Over-the-Air TV content in its original uncompressed format (MPEG2), the device's live and recorded video streams can be bandwidth-heavy (up to 18 Mbps).

To deliver this video without buffering over WiFi, a strong home network is required.

For the best experience, connect your Tablo and/or your streaming devices/Smart TVs to your network via Ethernet where possible.
