Automatic Commercial Skip has been a popular feature for some legacy Tablo over-the-air DVR owners. However, as of July 19th 2022, this feature was no longer offered on NEWLY ACTIVATED legacy Tablo models.

 

Existing legacy Tablo customers with active Premium Service subscriptions have not and will not be affected by this change. As long as a current Tablo customer's Premium Service subscription remains active, they can continue enjoying Automatic Commercial Skip on completed recordings for the foreseeable future.

 

As of July 19th 2022, brand new legacy Tablo customers still received a free 30-day trial of the Tablo TV Guide Data Service, along with all the advanced recording and streaming features that entailed and could still fast-forward through ads on recordings manually. However, the free 30-day Premium Service trial, which enables Automatic Commercial Skip, was no longer available.

  • July 19, 2022 — Premium Service/Automatic Commercial Skip trials no longer offered on newly activated Tablo DVRs.

  • August 23, 2022 — Last date for any customer to purchase a new Premium Service subscription to enable Automatic Commercial Skip.

  • August 24, 2022 — Premium Service subscriptions/Automatic Commercial Skip removed from purchase options via account.tablotv.com.
