    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.

    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!

    The Insignia was also sold under brand name Dynex. Excellent as well.

    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!

    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...

    Yay but for the under $100 price point its not all that bad. Its not perfect but what is?

    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.

    For the 4th gen (white) Tablo recordings saved to the internal drive whether OTA or streamed as MPEG4 to conserve space. Saving to an external drive will be MPEG 2 for OTA only. Streamed material will still be saved as MPEG 4.

    One caveat, apps for devices are limited. Can't use a PC to view Tablo. Many smart TV brands do not have apps for Tablo. Do some research.

    Rescanned the Tablo and downloaded an additional 17 fast channels. Now have a total of 110 channels of which 44 are OTA. In my previous post the SSD is 500GB rather than 500mghz.

    So far here in southern Ontario/ Niagara regions the guide is spot on except for 1 OTA station, TV Ont. Connected a SSD 500mghz external USB drive. Recordings and playback are flawless. No buffering or stutters.

    The Tablo is under $100. Comes with 14 day EPG guide at no charge. I will try an external drive for the recordings.

    I've noticed that the picture quality on my new Tablo is nothing to get excited about. I can't find any settings to enhance or adjust the video quality. But I do like the wifi feature.

    ATSC 3.0 DRM Encryption

    I suspect ATSC3 is opening the door to Pay per view over OTA. Free viewing will disappear.

    ATSC 3.0 DRM Encryption

    Not sure which forum to post this question. Can a ATSC 3 tuner receive ATSC 1 transmissions?

    ATSC 3.0 DRM Encryption

    Can ATSC 1 be encrypted as well? The Telco mentality here in Canada is that everyone should pay for TV services which included OTA.

    ATSC 3.0 $ 75.00 dongo SDR stick to hit the market this year...

    I don't think 3.0 will ever come to Canada. As a matter of fact the broadcasters would prefer to do away with OTA altogether. Mentality is, no freebees, everyone should pay for TV just like cable or satellite.

    Balun Info?

    That balun in the little black box is actually a tiny PCB board. Not much to wear out or fail. Any 300/75 ohm will work. I replaced the black box on my CM 4221 HD with the same as you mention and the VHF reception improved quite a bit.

    WBBZ in the Erie Penn area is showing 67.5 as DABL. However at the moment it is a blank place holder.
