This is a legacy article. Our current 4th Generation Tablo DVR requires no remote of its own. It uses the remote that comes with your streaming device.
The legacy Tablo QUAD HDMI’s interface runs on the DVR itself. It comes with its own dedicated IR (infrared) remote which is capable of integrating with your television to control power and volume via CEC (Consumer Electronics Control).
The remote takes two AAA batteries which are included in the box.
This remote is not compatible with network-connected Tablo DVRs.
