The 4th Generation Tablo platform has so much free TV to enjoy and new channels are added regularly.

But, with 100+ free streaming networks on top of the local broadcasts you can get with a TV antenna, scrolling through the Live TV screen in the Tablo app could be overwhelming… Until now, thanks to the new Category View.

Coming first to Apple TV and iOS mobile devices and rolling out to other 4th Generation Tablo apps soon, this will be the new default view for Live TV on Tablo.

About the Category View

Tablo Categories

The new Category View groups major local networks, your favorite channels and other related programming together within the grid guide, making it even easier to browse and discover shows that match your interests.

By grouping channels with similar content instead of arbitrarily by channel number, you can quickly hop through the grid and find something great to watch, whether you want to laugh, check out the news or learn something new.

The available Categories are:

  • Featured
    New or noteworthy channels handpicked by our team.
  • Favorites
    Channels you’ve selected as Favorites.
  • Local Networks
    The major broadcast networks in your area, including ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, PBS and the CW.
  • Sports
  • News
  • Movies
  • Classics
  • Entertainment
  • Reality TV
  • Sci-Fi & Horror
  • Family
  • Drama
  • Crime
  • En Espanol
  • Travel & Leisure
  • Comedy
  • Home & Food
  • History & Science
  • Kids
  • General
    For channels that don’t fit into any other category.

The classic Channels Grid View will still be available and you can switch your view at any time. Your chosen view will remain your default selection until you change it, even if you close and relaunch the Tablo app.
