I’m trying to actually fix an issue that arouse when I moved to a new antenna (and then back to the old, working one). I tried to redo a channel scan, but the scan never seems to initiate. I’ve tried to do it do three different devices, but no luck. After Did the initial setup I had a few channels, so I had gotten a mohu leaf (which ultimately got only 1channel) so I switched back, and hence why I’m trying to do a rescan with the first antenna I had.
Since I just got this (and they have no recordings), I thought I’d just do a factory reset and start over.
Unfortunately, no matter how long I hold the reset button down (holding until the blinking has fully stopped and the blue light is solid, and well past), the Tablo box doesn’t seem to ever reset - it still has the same name and settings as it did when I initially set it up.
I’m not sure what to try at this point; I don’t mind starting over but at this point I have no channels and unable to set any up.
Help! My Tablo 2 Tuner stopped working a week ago. When I plug it in I get a the 1blink/sec blue light. I tried to do a factory reset. It appears to work as I get the progressively faster blue light blink until it goes solid. After that I get the 4blink/sec blue light and it stays in this state forever. I am unable to see it on wifi. I eventually unplug it after a day. When I plug it back in I’m back in the original state of 1blink/sec on the blue light. Please help, I really like the technology but really upset that the quality of it is so low.
My Tablo started doing some of those things and others about 3 months ago. Since mine was amost 3 yrs old I tried a new power supply and it now works just fine. I don’t know how to tell you to trouble shoot this because mine was intermittent and I just decided to try a new PS. Cheers and good luck.
Thanks for the power supply suggestion. Just tried another power supply and unfortunately it did not help. Still does the same thing.
Yes, I checked. Mine is the Tablo 2 Tuner.
To factory reset I hold the blue button in for 7+ seconds (until it blinks fast then goes solid). When it goes solid I release the blue button and wait. Mine is probably not a Dual and the Tablo 2 that you mention. Where are the instructions to factory reset the Tablo 2?
theuser86 you sent the link for the Tablo DUAL which is not what I have. I have the Tablo 2 Tuner. I have tried everything and still have the same result. Tablo is only 1.5 years old. For the price I paid for the tuner in that time frame I could have paid for a subscription to a cable provider. I’m really hoping someone from Tablo can help me. I submitted a ticket last Thursday and did not receive any response yet. I thought their support team would at least respond with something useful.
No that link above is for the Tablo 2 tuner or 4 tuner. The link for the Tablo DUAL is below.
This statement “NOTE: If you are trying to factory reset your Tablo DUAL, use this article.” is supposed to be a link on that page to the link below, however the link is non-existent.
Ok, my Tablo is working again - finally! Near as I can tell the problem ended up being a bad ethernet cable. After swapping out the ethernet cable (from the one that came with the Tablo) the blue blinking light went solid…
What I cannot explain is why after removing the ethernet cable completely from the equation could I never get Tablo to connect via Wifi. Once in a while it would show up as a Wifi access point, and I could connect to it, but the Tablo app nor would the my.tablotv.com from a browser could find the Tablo. Very buggy…
Keep in mind the Tablo apps won’t be able to find the Tablo if you’re just connected to its network. The Tablo_XXXX network appearing is only the first step of the Wi-Fi setup. This only needs to be done once - once it’s configured, you can switch back and fort between Wi-Fi and ethernet.
We have a number of guides available for Wi-Fi setup here.
