About Tablo Apps
Tablo doesn’t connect directly to your TV. Instead, it connects to your home Wi-Fi router to send your antenna TV signal wirelessly to Tablo apps on compatible devices throughout your home.
The Tablo app will not come pre-installed on your smart TVs, streaming devices, smartphones and tablets. You’ll need to visit the app store on each device and download the Tablo app before you can access your DVR, play programs and set recordings.
Tablo apps each share similar navigation and functionality across different platforms, but there are some small differences in features or behavior on certain compatible devices.
Tablo apps are designed to work with a wide variety of current smart TVs, mobile and streaming devices. However, older device models may not have enough memory or processing power to run the Tablo app smoothly or may no longer be supported. For the best Tablo experience, we recommend updating your streaming devices with newer models every five years.
4th Generation vs. Legacy Apps
You can determine the correct Tablo app for your device model by the app icon.
Apps for 4th Generation Tablo models have a dark blue background with white and light blue accents. Apps for legacy Tablo models have a white background with light blue and orange accents.
Legacy Tablo apps are not compatible with 4th Generation Tablo apps, but legacy network-connected Tablo devices can also use 4th Generation apps once you’ve enabled the Legacy Transition on your device.
Verify that your smart TV and streaming devices are compatible with Tablo before you buy. Simply search for the Tablo app on your device’s app store. If you cannot find the correct Tablo app, your device is not directly compatible.

Legacy Network-Connected Tablo Apps and Compatible Devices
If you own a legacy network-connected Tablo model (Tablo DUAL LITE, Tablo DUAL 128GB, Tablo QUAD, Tablo QUAD 1TB and the original 2 and 4 Tuner Tablo DVRs) legacy Tablo apps will remain accessible to you but won’t be maintained or updated, and won’t be available to download from app stores after September 1, 2026.
If you have a network-connected legacy Tablo model and have not completed the Legacy Transition steps, we urge you to do so and begin using the newer 4th Generation Tablo apps. These apps are built on modern technology, are easier to maintain, and will receive ongoing updates.

Legacy TV-Connected Tablo Apps and Compatible Devices
If you own a legacy TV-connected Tablo model (DUAL HDMI and Tablo QUAD HDMI), your Tablo’s onboard interface and the legacy Tablo apps that support in-home streaming will remain accessible, but won't be maintained or updated. Legacy Tablo apps also won't be available to download from app stores after September 1st, 2026.
Tablo DUAL HDMI and QUAD HDMI owners can continue to use the Tablo’s onboard interface and the legacy Tablo apps that support in-home streaming from TV-connected Tablo devices as long as those apps remain functional.
However, since TV-connected legacy Tablo devices cannot transition to using 4th Generation Tablo apps, it may be advisable to upgrade to a 4th Generation Tablo device if you would like to maintain long-term whole-home functionality.
