I have a slightly older Roku Ultra then yours and I found that it runs better with an SD card popped in.
I put in a old 64GB SD card I had laying around in it.

So youāre thinking that it might be too full?

Yupā¦ I know the Roku Ultra offloads the APPs onto the SD card and off the internal storage. The APPs load up quicker too.

Itās not as problematic today as yesterday. Iām actually able to get it to load. Sometimes it still takes a few times crashing before it launches though. I did take the advice of putting in an sd card too. So far so good. Still crashes on occasion but not every time now.
I also wonder if it stems from hitting the home button while in the app. I havenāt been clicking the back button to exit the app in the menu pop up. Shouldnāt matter, but just a thought if that screws with the cache.
Pressing home keeps it in a half-asleep state and can often cause connection problems. By exiting out with the back button, it knows youāre done with it and it can close the connection.
What about when it crashes 100 times before it actually loads? 
It seems like if the āGetting the latest free shows and moviesā connection doesnāt happen fast enough it just closes. I wish @TabloSupport could look at the error logs or something.
Maybe youāre in luck and their Canadian tech support team is working today. I think asking them to check the logs is a great idea! It would be nice to know if this model of Roku is causing anyone else issues, too.
I still donāt know why this isnāt working. Iāve done everything I can think of. The Tablo has a solid blue light so it doesnāt appear to be connection related. Iāve rebooted the thing several times as well as my router. I really donāt want to do a factory reset and delete all my recordings. My phone is the only thing that will connect. The Roku app crashes, and the Samsung app refuses to connect.
By chance have you look at the wifi signal thats splashing around your home?
Download inSSIDer on your laptop and see. Just confirm you decent signal. anything below -73 is the start of low signal. On each band.

Thanks, signal strength is good. Everything works on Roku but Tablo app.
Iāve tried everything I can think of or find on forums or via Google but nothing works.
Restarted my router
Restarted Tablo
Deleted app
Unplugged Tv
Reset network settings on Roku
Reinstalled app
Unplugged Roku and used a new hdmi port
Nothing seems to help. Is it possible to have too many recordings to load? I mean I do have a bunch of stuff on my external hard drive. Itās also why I donāt want to factory reset the Tablo.
If anyone has any suggestions, recommendations or words of encouragement at this point let me know!
Just as a follow up, thereās some hang up with the FAST channels. They kill the app for me. Only selecting my antenna channels makes the program work again. Sometimes the Tablo has difficulty saving altered channel lineups. I swear sometimes I save everything but it doesnāt apply and remove the things Iāve unselected.
Glad to finally have something working again! I can live without the majority of the FAST channels, but there were a few I enjoyed.
I appreciate everyoneās help!
This may be unrelated since I donāt use Roku, but I see the āslow loadā behavior on my Fire Stick and now my new Sony Bravia (Google TV a la Android) every so often. Last night, I couldnāt hardly get the Tablo app to load past the āGetting ā¦ā screen on any tv. Oddly, the iOS version on my phone loaded fine.
I did all of the restart/reboot/power cycle crap and no improvement. Network/internet speed was normal throughout (about 90mbit Fire Stick and 500mbit on the new Sony).
This morning, turned on the new Sony and Tablo came up quickly (as it normally does). All good.
I believe this is most definitely related to the Tablo app reaching out to the server on startup. What I donāt get is why the iOS Tablo app doesnāt seem to have the same issue. Maybe it accesses the server differently, or maybe even a different server. Who knows.
This is brilliant. I did this on our old Recast and for some reason didnāt think I could with the Tablo. Also eliminates the need to select āFavoriteā channels every time. Unchecked all but nine channels and weāll see how it goes. Thanks!
Stacy, I also read that unchecking the majority of the available channels would speed up the load time so I removed all but eight or nine of the OTA channels to make the channel list manageable. Regrettably I have observed no change in load times at all. This is with the Roku ultra And fiber speed Internet connection. I was hoping someone on the tech staff at Tablo could respond and explain the reason for these long load times, but alas so far no comments.
Other than the load time inconvenience, Iām quite satisfied with the system and still think itās an excellent value . Of course, YMMV,
