I have the Tablo Dual with a Roku Premier. I have noticed that the recordings on CBS take a very long time to process for commercial skip. Sometimes, they take up to 24 hours.
I have gigabit fiber internet service, so it is not my network connection. I can just use CBS all-access instead and skip the commercials. If this technology was reliable, it would be great, but the advertised 15-minute processing for an hour-long show is simply not true.
Comments say commercial skip is free, yet itās advertised as a featureā¦ so many are spending money specifically buying a tablo expecting a functioning service.
Only if they donāt actually read the description:
"During the open beta, Automatic Commercial Skip will be free to enjoy for Tablo customers with active or 30-day trial TV Guide Data subscriptions.
Once we are satisfied with the accuracy and quality of the feature and have reviewed the server infrastructure costs associated with Automatic Commercial Skip, this feature may transition to a paid add-on."
My comment was in reference to they was itās advertised! View a page that is advertised oriented -
Tablo QUAD OTA DVR with WiFi and Automatic Commercial Skip
No asterisk * directing you to a disclaimer about beta.
Nice big banner - showing how heās enjoying not touching anything! it just works, no fine print, no betaā¦ spend your money on commercial skip.
First, I agree. Website needs to shore things up, and be clear.
But, for those of us that have been here for years, the message as been mixed. Not saying, the message shouldnāt be fixed, just that the messages have changed over the years. So, while I donāt like the ambiguity, I certainly see how it came to be. And, it is going to portray ādeceptionā, even if that was not the intent.
Dude, I showed you a page full of information [advertising] for typical consumers. They shop on Amazon read a long pageā¦ like what they see.
Itās obvious you and many here, are not typical consumersā¦ just because you spend your day clicking and reading, doesnāt mean āeveryone shouldā, or will. If Nuvyyo spends an enormous amount to create a one-stop shop on Amazonā¦ why would average consumer spend more time? Common sense means different things to different people.
They may end up spending money, expecting a functioning commercial skip feature.
