@7up - I just got my 2-tuner Tablo set up yesterday and the problems that you mention are very evident even on the 2-tuner model. I noticed it just watching the local news broadcast and Jimmy Fallon last night. I can’t imagine what it does with a sports broadcast.
@TabloTV - What I don’t understand is why you bill this product as “Unleash Your HDTV.” The fact is that every single network in my area broadcasts in 1080i. I feel like I am now in a box and am not sure that I can keep this product because it does not deliver true HDTV. Down-scaling the recordings to the recommended 720p did not seem to help the issue either. In fact it seemed to make the overall quality of the stream worse. The biggest reason that I got this device is so I can cancel DirecTV and still watch NASCAR races that are broadcast on the networks. Granted I haven’t seen a race broadcast through the Tablo but based on my initial experience I have serious doubts that the motion of the races will be accurately represented.
@TabloTV Please indicate whether this is a limitation of the hardware or the software. And if there is a plan to let users stream at 60 FPS in the future? Or is the problem not related to FPS at all? Why is there not a 1080i setting to record at? This is very important to me. I don’t have a problem laying down $150 for a lifetime plan with you guys if I know that this is something that can or will be addressed but if I don’t feel that it can be addressed I will have to return the device as it doesn’t seem to deliver true HD content out of the box.
I’m using a 2-Tuner Tablo, v2.1.20, Hardwired - gigabit, AppleTV (1080p) w AirPlay from iPad Mini Retina, going to a 47" Vizio LEDTV (1080p)
I don’t seem to have these problems with any other content on the AppleTV and I’ve played with and tweaked just about every setting I can find on all of the devices in use but please chime in if anyone feels I’m missing something.
Thanks!
