This is a legacy article. Network-connected Tablo DVRs and our 4th Generation Tablo models do not include a Tablo remote. Instead, they use your smart TV or streaming device's remote to control the Tablo app.
Since the Tablo DUAL HDMI's and the Tablo QUAD HDMI’s interface run on the DVR itself, it comes with its own dedicated IR (infrared) remote. The remote is capable of integrating with your television to control power and volume via CEC (Consumer Electronics Control).
The remote takes 2 AAA batteries which are included in the box.
This remote is not compatible with network-connected Tablo DVRs, nor the 4th Generation models
