Tablo on Apple TV FAQs.

Most Americans can access major broadcast networks like ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, PBS and the CW for free and in high-definition with a simple TV antenna. Many additional ‘subchannels’ are also often available with unique content like throwback sitcoms, sci-fi favorites and westerns. See what antenna TV channels you can watch and record with Tablo in your area.

Whether you’re into cooking, true crime, travel, or sports, there’s a free streaming channel on Tablo for you. See a list of the 70+ free streaming channels you can watch and record with Tablo on your Apple TV.

No. Just one antenna and one Tablo can connect to multiple Apple TVs and other devices in your home simultaneously. See our Apps and Compatible Devices page for details. 

Previous generation Apple TVs do not support an app store and therefore do not offer a Tablo app.

No. The Tablo app will only show content from your TV antenna and the free streaming channels integrated into the Tablo device.

Apple products do not support the playback of antenna TV (MPEG-2 video to be specific) natively. For this reason, specialized player software is required.

This player software is not able to differentiate between live streams and in-progress recordings as they both do not have specific start and end points. Therefore, playback of in-progress recordings cannot be started from the beginning of the program.

This is possible on the Tablo apps for Roku, Amazon Fire TV and Android TV as these platforms do natively support playback of MPEG-2 video.
