Tablo Gen 4, 4 tuner, Roku 4K stick.
Last 5 days I’ve had an odd issue.
After selecting “Live” tab, navigating down to…let’s say channel 45.5 (or any other channel) …selecting a program, watching for any length of time, then hitting the Back button on the Roku remote, Tablo takes me all the way back to the top of the guide instead of landing at 45.5 .
Anybody else having same problem?
You didn’t say if your roku had been updated to roku OS 13 within the last 5+ days
I noticed the same thing.
Tablo 4th gen 2 tuner, Roku Ultra (Roku OS 13.0.0 I think more than 5 days ago but I can’t remember for sure),
My first Roku updated to 13 over a month ago. The last updated just over a week ago. This issue showed up a couple of days ago. My last Roku updated 10 days ago. I wonder if we got one of those unannounced/invisible updates.
I checked the unit that updated to 13 over a month ago and Roku did sneak in another update build on 6/4.
I just installed my gen 4 4 tuner tablo moving from an older model.
I get the same annoying behavior, guide always returns to the top.
I was at the end of the roku 13 update food chain. Mine arrived around 7 days ago.
The tablo legacy app immediately started to exhibit the ability to exit back to the roku main menu. It seems to more often occur when using the back button to return out of the video player. I always start playback in the episode detail record and when I’m completely finished with viewing the episode I use the back button. it might flash the detail record and then exit. And since I have multiple tablo’s I have to restart the app just to delete the episode i was viewing.
Who knows what might happen with the gen 4 app.
So has anyone have an answer for this issue.?
My 4th gen has been doing this for quite some time.
Running the os 13.0.0
Correction to my above post
Roku is running 13.0.0
Consider yourself lucky. The legacy Roku app exits to the roku main menu.
I don’t use the gen 4 enough to notice.
Tablo software is current version 2.2.50
This problem is fixed (back button stays on the current channel).
As of today , and since I first posted here, I have had this problem
Is there a top end to the number of resets, reboots , various tweaks, antenna repositions , etc, etc that will magically shock my 4 gen Tablo
Into functioning as advertised.?
No offense intended, but It would help to provide a bit more comment beyond “it is fixed”,for those who are still being annoyed by this glitch .
navyvet1967, very sorry I never checked back in to this post.
My Roku (4k streaming stick) is definitely NOT fixed. And like your roku, mine is fully updated, OS, App, etc…
My solution was to buy one of the $19, Onn Google TV 4K Streaming Boxes sold by walmart.
I love Roku, but the Onn fixes the problem immediately, and beats the crap out of Roku performance wise. Much faster, more stable, smoother operation. Highly recommend this if you can spare the 19 bucks. I will be using even if Roku eventually gets it’s act together.

This makes a lot of Tablo problems go away. Way better at time shifting in the live TV guide, as well as faster guide update.
I’ve got both installed so I can switch back and forth, but Roku gets no use since I found the Onn.
The problem has come back.
The reason I had no comments on how I fixed the problem is that I (thought) I had done nothing to fix the problem and that Tablo had fixed it. It turns out that I had inadvertently reset my Roku Ultra. I was watching a program and my TV screen pixelated and then froze with the screen filled with snow. None of the remote buttons would work except the TV on/off button. When I turned the TV off and then back on the Roku rebooted and the problem was gone. But when I rebooted the Roku, the problem came back.
I am also having this problem. When returning to the guide from any channel the guide resets to the top. Very frustrating to have to scroll back down!
Hoping this get fixed soon and good to know I am not alone!
Thanks for your comment , and also Time Comes’ reply.
I appreciate the recommend of the onn device,but
I primarily bought the Tablo for accessing OTA local channels, and I am not especially tech savvy, so
I’m assuming from the info I read, the onn is only for app
Streaming . If that’s the case, anyone with the live guide issue that is using Tablo is SOL unless a fix is forthcoming.from them.
Just to be clear, the Onn does exactly what a Roku does and works the same way. Installs the same way and comes with a little white remote.
It is not a replacement for the Tablo Gen 4 DVR.
I understand your frustration and feel the same way, but I believe the tablo folks will turn the corner on the guide data bottleneck, and server issues.
Hang in there, and here is another tablo forum full of helpful folks like this one.
Thanks for your follow up.much appreciate
Kudos to you,!!
Ordered the onn today
It’s a decent device for $20. Probably the best low-cost STB for the quality you get.
Hope you find it as useful as others have!
I have a Legacy Quad with Roku Express. When I stop a video and use the back arrow button, the app exits to the main Roku screen. Anyone have an idea how to fix this? Tech support was not helpful and sent me here. Thanks.
