    Tablo information

    The 4th gen Tablo receives OTA and sends the channels via your in house wi-fi network to your tablet, smart tv and smart phone with the apps from Tablo. Not all devices will work with Tablo. So carefully read the info on the Tablo site. An outdoor antenna will out perform a indoor one.

    New Motor!

    USALS is amazing. Been using it for about 15 years. After doing a number of installs you begin to realize what a no brainer USALS is! The only extra tools needed is a compass to locate true south and a simple inclinometer.

    You must be kidding. Cord cutters are looking to save money and not spend a fortune on a signal meter!

    Which is better, two antennas or one amplified antenna?

    Its all about capture. The more antennas the more signal you will capture. Thats better than a single antenna. As stated, if there is no signal at the antenna then an amp is of no use.

    What is the best brand of RG6 connector?

    Also the best connectors are the compression fit. Draw back is you will also have to buy the tools for installation. Generally they are weather tight and withstand the outdoors very well. I have been using these for over twenty years with no issues for all my satellite and OTA installs.

    OTHER STAB HH-120 motor maintenance

    I would use a silicone based grease. It tolerates temp changes extremely well and lasts forever. Thats what I used on my Stab 90.

    Getting into HAM in 2024?

    I've been a licenced ham since 1979. What a great hobby. However, I don't consider using the internet to make calls around the world as ham radio. Thats like a phone call.

    Just make sure your devices are supported with apps from TabloTV. The connectivity is via WFi. There are no HDMI or ethernet output ports!

    Well in Canada I don't see ATSC 3 ever happening! As a matter of fact, the 2 huge monopolies here are out to eliminate OTA altogether. A lot of OTA stations have already disappeared!

    Coax solution and another question

    Your comment re the Tablo, be aware that the 4th gen wifi series, there is a very limited number of devices that will work. You need device specific apps otherwise it does not work!

    Ota Dvr

    Well so far the TabloTV 4th gen is a disappointment. "So many ways to enjoy TV with Tablo. Simply download the Tablo TV app on your favorite smart device and it’s showtime!" That marketing statement is misleading. There are only a handful of apps available. So far I can only watch TabloTV on...

    Coax solution and another question

    Well heres my experience with splitters. I have a box full of splitter that varies from cheap $1 units to expensive Antronix. My cable TV box has a service page where you can view signal strength and S/N for the entire cable TV band. Cable TV band overlaps the OTA band with a mix of VHF and...

    You forgot to note that 38 % gave the Tablo 5 stars! Also LG no longer supports ATSC 3.0. Certainly LG will not be my choice of HDTVs.
