STEP 1 Getting Connected
Connect Your HDTV Antenna
For optimal OTA reception, place your antenna near a window or outdoors, pointing towards
your local broadcast towers. Next, connect your antenna to your Tablo DVR via the coaxial
connection. Ensure the connector is tightly secured.
Connect a USB Hard Drive
Connect a USB hard drive (1 TB to 8 TB in size).
Connect Tablo to your TV
Use the HDMI cable (provided) to connect your Tablo DVR to your TV.
Connect Tablo to Your Home Network
Use the Ethernet cable (provided) to connect your Tablo DVR to your router. If your TV and
antenna placement does not enable you to connect via Ethernet, connect Tablo to your home
network via WiFi. See page 3 for details.
Connect the Power Adapter
In order to function correctly, your Tablo DVR must be powered on at all times,
including overnight.
For help with antenna selection and positioning, a list of recommended hard drives,

STEP 2 Change HDMI Input to Tablo
Using your TV’s remote, select the HDMI input that you have your Tablo DVR connected to.
STEP 3 Setting Up the Tablo Remote
On the back side of the remote, slide open the battery cover. Insert batteries (included).
Your remote should pair with your DVR automatically.
STEP 4 Follow the Tablo DVR Setup Wizard
The setup wizard will walk you through connecting Tablo to the internet over WiFi (if not already
connected by Ethernet) and then it will perform a channel scan to determine what channels can
be received by your antenna.
You can add/remove recommended
channels from your guide at this time.
Be sure to select ‘Rescan’ if you
change or adjust your antenna’s
position after the initial channel scan.
The wizard will also ask to format
your USB hard drive.
Is your lineup missing local channels
you expected to see? Is your Tablo
DVR not nding any channels during
a scan? Visit www.TabloTV.com/
channelscan for help.

STEP 5 Program Guide Data Download
Once you select ‘Continue’ the rst 24 hours of the program guide will begin to download.
This process will take several minutes per channel.
Your Tablo DVR is now ready to enjoy!

STEP 6 Connecting Additional Playback Devices
Tablo DUAL HDMI DVRs also support in-home streaming of live and recorded TV via select
Smart TVs and streaming devices.
In order to enjoy Tablo content on those devices, you will need to download the appropriate
Tablo app and follow the on-screen prompts to connect it to your Tablo DUAL HDMI DVR.
Note: Streaming to additional televisions requires a very strong home WiFi network to avoid buffering.

Troubleshooting—Tablo DVR and App Initial Set Up
Only 24 Hours of Guide Data Visible
The Live TV grid guide will usually display
24 hours of guide data, although it can be
changed to 14 days in settings. You can also
browse for upcoming programs in the
TV shows, Movies, and Sports screens.
Guide Data is Incorrect or Missing
For incorrect data or data missing from
specic channels, contact Tablo Support
for assistance. While we work to correct
your guide data problem, try entering a zip/
postal code from a neighboring area by
editing your ‘location’ in the settings screen.
Video Playback is Loading or Pausing
Frequently on Additional Devices
This is typically a home network
bandwidth issue. If possible, connect
your playback device and/or Tablo via
Ethernet instead of WiFi to rule out
potential WiFi interference and/or
network congestion.
Video Playback is Pixelated/Audio Drops Out
OTA antenna signal strength is inadequate
or reduced. Check your antenna’s connection
to Tablo and/or its position. Run a new
channel scan within settings to determine
current signal strength.
Recordings Incomplete or Failed
OTA antenna signal and/or external hard drive
were unavailable at the time of the recording.
Antenna and/or hard drive
may require attention.
Hard Drive Not Recognized
If you have connected a USB hard drive
and its details are not shown in your settings
screen and/or you have not received a
prompt to format it during the setup process,
try rebooting the Tablo using the ‘Restart’
option in the Settings menu under ‘More
Information’. If you still do not receive a
prompt to format the drive, contact Tablo
Support for assistance.
More detailed instructions, user manuals, and troubleshooting tips can be found online
in the Tablo Knowledge Base at support.TabloTV.com.
