Choose Your TV Platform = Choose Your Remote

For those familiar with traditional cable or satellite DVRs that sit next to your TV and come with huge remotes covered in buttons, Tablo’s network-based OTA DVR approach can be puzzling at first.

Wechip G20 Remote Control

Unlike a traditional set-top-box, Tablo connects to your home WiFi router and is then accessed via an app on your favorite internet-connected device.

Not only does this enable you to place your Tablo OTA DVR pretty much anywhere your TV antenna gets a good signal, but it means you’ll be able to watch your favorite live and recorded TV programs from networks like ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC, PBS and the CW via the remote control (or touch-based interface, or mouse) of your choice!

Most Popular Devices/Remotes for Use with Tablo
The most popular Tablo-compatible streaming TV devices all have simple, well-designed remotes, but each has its benefits and drawbacks.

Here’s a quick overview…

Roku Remotes

  • Cord cutters love the raised tactile buttons on the simple, easy-to-hold remote
  • Cord cutters hate that the ‘Quick Launch’ buttons at the bottom can’t be re-programmed
  • Look for higher-end Roku models whose remotes offer TV power and volume buttons, as well as a headphone jack for private listening


Amazon Fire TV Remotes

Remote
  • Cord cutters love the simple button layout and voice search capabilities of the remote
  • Cord cutters hate that its small size makes it prone to getting lost in the couch cushions
  • Look for newer Amazon Fire TV models whose remotes offer TV power and volume buttons


Apple TV Remotes

  • Cord cutters love the speed and responsiveness of the remote’s input
  • Cord cutters hate the sometimes finicky touchpad that replaces a more traditional directional pad for navigation
  • Look for a silicone cover that can provide more grip to the Apple TV remote’s slick surface


NVIDIA SHIELD (Android TV) Remotes

  • Cord cutters love the option to use a more traditional remote OR a gamepad
  • Cord cutters hate the non-standard battery size and seemingly short battery life of the more traditional remote
  • Look for an alternative 3rd party remote if you’re not comfortable using a gamepad (more on that below)

NOTE - If you’re fine with the original remote control your streaming device came with, but it’s broken or lost, you don’t have to buy a whole new device.

Most streaming device platforms have free downloadable apps that will turn your smartphone into a remote and offer low-cost replacement remotes online.
