If the local station isn’t providing data, I’m not sure if there’s anything Tablo can do. I’m still trying to get a local BUZZR to work. From what I understand, they take data from them and then it gets sent through the Tablo servers.
Because you say nothing happens when you click on the channel name/number, I’m assuming you’re using a Roku. Try using a different device and see if the same thing happens. On my Android and FireOS devices, despite three stations with greyed out “loading data” sections, I’m able to click on the name and all three play. The Roku app should have an update pushed anywhere between hours from now and a day or two, and I hear it’s fixed quite a few issues. (There was an update but it was rolled back due to a bug, then Roku wasn’t posting updates because of the holidays, so we’ve been waiting for over a week for the fix.)
Is this the similar to what you’re experiencing: Roku click on channel topic?
