4th Gen on Apple TV is really bad... REALLY BAD!

General Discussion

I have used legacy Tablo for years and just got the 4th gen and to say i’m disappointed in an understmt.

  1. You can NOT rewind live TV while watching. i.e. If i’m watching a football game and want to see a play again… NOT happening!!!
  2. When recording a program w/ Apple TV you can NOT start from the beginning of the show if you come in at any time. Again NO REWINDING

There is so much more but I’ll start here

I have gone back to my legacy b/c this product is so bad.

FIX IT!!!

That’s the limitation of using AppleTv on the 4th gen. I have posted about it quite a bit over the last year.

If watching a recording while it is recording is important, for goodness sakes don’t use an AppleTv with a 4th gen Tablo. Use a Roku, GoogleTv, or FireTv (or use a legacy Tablo with any device).

That’s ridiculous!
Tablo Advertises that it works w Apple TV
The 4.th gen sucks.
Your solution is not a solution to the problem

I do, however, appreciate your response

If you go to the supported devices and click on AppleTV, it very clearly explains what you’re experiencing is how it’s supposed to perform.

I have not experienced any of those issues on Apple TV and I’ve had the software since beta. Not sure what the issue is. Not sure it would make a difference, but which version Apple TV are you using?

Agree that Tablo for Apple TV is a mess. In the “surfing” mode on the Live grid, it is slooooooooooooow!!! It still looks like a very rough beta to me. I also have a Roku stick, and, compared to Apple TV, it is really snappy and, in general, feels much more well done.
