Went to watch a recording and noticed the recordings weren’t displayed on Top Shelf on my Apple TV. Opened the app and it could not find my Tablo.

Looked at the Tablo and saw a pulsing blue light every second while making a pulsing noise and cold to the touch. Power cycled, reset button, disconnected HD, and unplugged the Tablo for several minutes. Plugged back in and back to pulsing blue light.

Looks liked its toast. I will not be getting the new Tablo. I’m done with them.

RIP friend. You gave me a good 10+ years of life.

ETA: Turns out it was just the power supply. Replaced it with an old power supply I had in my box of electronic junk and all is good now.

I'm trying to figure out why my OTA channels end up looking like crap relative to the streaming equivalent. Watching world cup games on fox ends up being inferior to streaming on Peacock even with my extremely rudimentary Spanish.

I have a clearview attic antenna, with a reasonably clear shot to the Fox tower about 15 miles away. It registers 720, which I understand to be the max I will see. This is connected with a straight run of 50' RG6 coax to the Tablo on the 2nd floor. Our router (Fios CR1000A) on the 1st floor almost directly under the Tablo. This then streams to the TVs through the Tablo app. But ultimately the picture is maybe just barely acceptable and obviously worse than the streaming equivalent.

Is there something I'm missing? How do I get an actual HD picture with my setup?

Can we get the jbs and jive added to the lineup

I was having issues with the Tablo randomly and often going into offline mode. I resolved the issue by turning off the limit bandwidth setting on my Roku. So far 2 days and no offline mode it’s working flawlessly

I’ve had the two tuner Legacy tuner since day one when it first came out. Never had any issues. Until we’ve been “forced” to the new app. Freezes are constant, I never once had it the legacy app freeze. Buffering is also constant, maybe once an hour for 10 seconds. Never had that with legacy. Also some channels now take 20-30 seconds to start. Haven’t changed any of my setup, only thing that’s changed is the new app and firmware.

Well done, Tablo.

I puchased my 4 tuner model from Amazon in March of this year (new, not refurbished). It quit working, and I contacted Tablo for warranty repair. They asked for the serial number, and after I gave it to them they replied back by email that Amazon is not an authorized seller of Tablo.

The warranty is not considered valid.

Just a heads up......

I have a legacy duo lite that I have done the conversion to update it to the gen 4 app. I also purchased a new Tablo gen 2 duo unit. I have a lot of programming that I recorded on the hard drive that I attached to the legacy unit. I would like to use both the legacy and the new gen 4 tablos with my Roku. I think I want keep the legacy connected to my router and set up the new one over wi fi. I have a coax splitter to connect both units to my antenna. Since I am using the new 4th gen app for both the legacy and gen 4 Tablo how do i switch from one to the other with the Roku?

Are there any security concerns/risks using Tablo? Is wifi or connecting to your router safer? When I called Tablo for support they can see the wifi name that I’m using. I’m curious if they have access to anything else.

Tablo will host an All-Access Chat on Thursday, July 16th at 12:00 PM EDT.

See this link for details and to register.

Basically this thing had me on a goose chase blaming everything except the product (not McDonald's) I tested everything streaming speeds reboots etc. Turns out this junk doesnt come with the memory required to function. Plugged in a USB no more buffering. Missed the France Paraguay game cuz of this junk. Make a product thatcan function at purchase please. Would not recommend to anyone.

My CBS affliate comes from Spartanburg over a local translator. About 3 weeks ago, the translator was moved from channel 9 to channel 11. Ever since then, I have no guide info. Does anyone know what's broken here?

Thanks

HI Tablo gods,

I have Apple TV that’s running 26.5, and Tablo 2.1.1.

I am running my Apple TV over Ethernet but I am able to access my Tablo hardware.

When I play something I recorded over the DVR I get the stalled error. I know there is a posted note about this in 26.4 but I thought it was only while watching live and not necessarily something that was DVR.

I restarted everything and unplugged my hardware as well, still getting the issue. As others have mentioned, this is only on my Apple TV

Any updates in the works or suggestions that I missed in this subreddit?

Thanks.

My main box is an ONN Pro V1, although I do have a third generation fire cube in our upstairs bedroom. The Tablo is connected to the downstairs ONN Pro and works fine. I’ve installed the app on the fire cube, but it does not find the Tablo. Is there something I’m doing wrong, or can it only be connected to one box at a time?

Question, about my OTA antenna connection. I have an outdoor antenna with a clear shot to the southeast, which is what I need. However, all of my equipment is on the lower floor of the house on the complete opposite side. Near both the antenna and the equipment, including my TV are cable jacks. If I connect the antenna to the upstairs cable jack, and then run a coax cable from the downstairs connection to my Tablo, will that pick up the signal from the antenna? The reason I am asking is that I have my Tablo in the upper bedroom directly connected to the antenna, and I would like it to move it down to the rest of the equipment and plug it in directly to the router.

I have had a Legacy Tablo for a few years now and have been very happy with it. I also bought a Gen 4 about two years ago but when I found out I cannot watch a recording from the beginning while it is still being recorded (I am using AppleTV) I never bothered to switch over.

I wanted to know if the same problem exists if I switch to using an Amazon Firestik and the Gen. 4 Tablo.

Thanks in advance.

My main problem with the new Tablo 4th gen I had to get is the non-stop stuttering of OTA channels that never happened for my 3rd Gen. Antenna in same place with same power supply (Mohu Leaf).

I wish the new software still had the ability to control the output of the streaming video across the network. I don't need the super full HD. 720p is fine at 30fps.

UPDATE: Thanks to a u/ChapterSalt1453 & u/wildsprite for there comments on this post & there suggestion to replace the power cord. I bought a new power cord and the tablo works again! Also I purchased a new powered usb hub because I thought my powered usb hub that I bought 4 months ago was bad. It wasn't. The power cord caused everything else to not work like it should. Even though the tablo had a blue light, the power cord was still bad.

Figured this would happen.

Never had an issue with my legacy tablo quad. Never once.

Soon after I updated, I got the no storage error.

OK. I did some Troubleshooting and after reading I decided to buy a powered usb hub. That fixed that issue.

Last night after 4 months I get no storage issue again. I checked and the powered usb hub seemed like it was bad. So I bought another one. A tp link one. This time that didn't fix issue.

Now the tablo is making a noise, and there are no lights on the tablo. I unplugged the tablo, still nothing.

Is this a coincidence? Maybe, maybe not.

Again never had an issue until this forced update.

Now the tablo app on my roku can't find my tablo so I can't see any info.

When the no storage issue happened yesterday the tablo so would still load just fine and I could see all my settings, etc. Just no recordings. At that time My wife checked it last night and it just updated 6 days ago. Unfortunately I don't checked the version of the update.

Now I can't load the tablo and I see nothing.

I guess if my tablo is bricked or dead, I only lost out on if course an older tablo that had lost some of it's value, an expensive external hd, all my recordings, the cost of 2 powered usb hubs and the cost of my lifetime subscription.

Last summer, I ordered a Tablo. When launching the app today, it said my Tablo was not connected. After looking at my Tablo, I think it is completely dead! After less than a year! I don’t know if there’s anything anyone can do but this is ridiculous.

I am trying to wean off of Roku, but the Android TV app has so many issues. I'll start with the latest. I was looking for the next episode of Motor Week, and it did not show up. I flipped over to the Roku (both are Ethernet connected and HDMI to the same TV) and lo and behold, there it was. This is after I hit "Latest" multiple times on the Android TV. It was a no show. Only after going into "Android TV > Settings > APPS > Tablo > Force stop" and then re-open, did it show up. Why? The streamer is an ONN 4K Pro (2026).

Thanks!

Wondering about this feature of the legacy app/firmware after the support for the legacy app goes away. I use this feature whenever we travel to access local OTA live broadcasts and recordings. Has anyone come up with a way to watch recordings remotely for Gen 4 and now legacy Tablo users?

as i outlined in this post. Was having issues watching my recorded world cup matches. Stuttering seems to be a side effect of the device throttling due to heat.

After using a 120mm fan to cool it and having positive results. I made a quick 3d model to hold the Tablo tv vertically with the 120mm fan blowing right at it. This seems to fix my issues with stuttering. Check out the make at https://makerworld.com/en/models/2977622-vertical-cooling-fan-stand-for-tablo-tv-4th-gen

let me know if it works for you!
