4th gen until - recording two shows at same time

Support & Troubleshooting
1

Is this not possible? I can do it in some instances and not in others. Is there a reason for this? I can provide examples if necessary.

You can record two OTA at the same time. You might be running into conflicts.

I’m assuming you’re getting an error about that?

It could be the number of tuners your Tablo has and what they’re doing while you’re recording. This article may help: https://support.tablotv.com/hc/en-us/articles/15698993712276-What-Do-Tuners-Do-and-How-Many-Tuners-Does-the-4th-Generation-Tablo-Have

Sorry, the title should have said 4th gen UNIT, which is what I have. It is a two tuner, so why can’t I record two shows at the same time. I have done so on many occasions but perhaps one was a “fast” channel and the other an over-the-air channel? Is that a possibility? As I said, I can provide examples of times when two separate programs in the same time slot were successfully recorded, but I have a circumstance coming up that shows a conflict. I would just like clarification on this. Thank you,

Hi there @Kolchak65,

You can indeed record up to 2 channels at the same time if you have a 2-tuner unit. You can in fact record up to 2 OTA and up to to 2 FAST channels (for a total of 4) at the same time.

Can you describe more about what you’re actually seeing? Also what device you are using Tablo app on.

Yes, thank you. I’m using an ONN streaming box. (I think I just figured it out!) The issue was coming up on October 15th, where I have 2 shows scheduled at 10pm - one on ABC, the other on CBS. I think the issue may have been that I had a 9:00 show on CBS set up to record 5 minutes late. This was probably something I set up last year and forgotten about, because at that time there was no TV show on a different network scheduled to air at 10. I reset the 9:00 show on CBS to end on time and the conflict disappeared. I now have programs at 9 & 10 on CBS and a one on ABC at 10 - no conflicts. Thank you for your willingness to help, as I was really perplexed over this one. It was something so simple, but I just wasn’t seeing it. Thanks again.
