Any ETA on a FF/RWD preview window for Roku?
This is the #1 feature my wife and I yearn for when using this product every night!
I second that request!
No ETAâs yet, sorry! But Iâll make sure to pass along the enthusiasm 
@TabloSupport - wrt âNo ETA yetâ, does that mean you are going to ship this feature? If yes, has work started? This is my second reply of this nature on a thread tonight. It would be fair to prospective buyers to differentiate features that are definitely coming vs features that you are considering because youâve had a lot of requests.
I still still believe this request will not be done. Â WatchESPN is the Roku app most like the Tablo since it streams live and recorded TV, and it has no FF or REW preview. Â
It is one thing to make it work with pre-recorded video like Netflix and Amazon. Â It is another to do it with constantly updated live video.
But we will see. Â I have no problems using the timeline to determine how far to FF or REW.
Oh, Iâm not wanting it for live content, Iâm wanting it to watch my recorded events.
Try watching a news cast where you want to see a particular story and you have no idea where in the news cast the story is. You will rip your hair out trying to find it!
I still still believe this request will not be done.
Thatt's nice of you to share. My question is directed to @TabloSupport. I hear "stay tuned" and "no ETA yet" a lot. If there is no decision yet to actually implement the feature, it would be good to adopt a different phrase.
I am sure they will look into the possibility of that feature with their Roku programmer. Â Until they know for certain that it isnât feasible to do it, then Tablo will keep saying what they have been saying.
You can tell when Tablo is likely to implement a new feature, because they will say âsoonâ. Â They have never said âsoonâ with this.
Can you put this into the html and ipad app too please. Â That would be cool. Thank you.
@jkline We donât have any ETA on this as weâre waiting for a few things to be sorted out in the development process at the moment. We understand that itâs a popular feature request, and itâs getting our attention. We canât guarantee anything at this point - all we can share is that weâre looking into it. Sorry if âno ETAâ introduced some confusion here!
@tablosupport Your team needs another PM who can put together actual roadmaps and focus on communications with customers. We appreciate your support discussion and involvement, but itâs not terribly informative most of the time. Not your fault, since youâre at the mercy of the information that the dev team feeds you. Which is why I suggested what I did.
@kf4wvk Thanks for the feedback - but thatâs what me and @TabloTV are here for!Â
That being said, most companies donât share a transparent road map, or even nailed down ETAâs because they canât. Itâs not usually the best way for us to announce new features. Â Not to mention the time constraints and pressure it would put on the dev team. Things change all the time, and this constantly effects the release cycle and roadmap as a whole.Â
So in the meantime, weâre here to help, answer questions and get a feel for what you guys really want, and then weâll do our best to deliver. Thanks for your understanding!
@TabloSupport one time a manager of mine asked me to mock up a web app that could install selected software on PCs. He asked me to have it done on Friday. Well, head to the grindstone, I made it workable for Friday. Then he told people about it and they started using it!!! I hated that. I feel for developers that have âpeopleâ that will tell others what is coming next week 
That being said, what is coming next week??? 
@tablosupport OK then how about that Roku bug I posted a week ago? Iâd like to know if itâs logged as a bug in your bug tracker.
@kf4wvk Yep, it has been. We communicate with the devs pretty often on this stuff. We work in the same office as our development staff, so we can march up to them pretty easily to communicate feedback and/or issues.
As for an ETA - none yet. Weâre pretty much in the middle of a revamp of the whole Roku channel, so weâve made sure to include as much user feedback as possible in this process.
@belgiangenius I wholeheartedly agree!!!  I HATE trying to FF through a recorded show and have no idea where the commercials start or end, or if you are looking for a specific scene.  This issue IS a real hair puller and there must be someway to make thumbnails available.  I donât know of anyone who owns a DVR or that watches streaming  that doesnât expect this basic feature.

Great news!
Do your developers have an idea which platform will have ff preview first, Fire TV (when the app is released), or the Roku?
I am looking at cutting the cord, and this is the only thing holding us backâŚ
Keep up the good work.
@mattp Hmmm canât really say for sure for that one. Sorry! We hope youâll join us soon.
Oh, we already own the tablo 4 tuner unit. We currently are using both uverse and the tablo⌠Though, we arenât planning on getting rid of uverse until the ff preview is working on either roku or fire tv.
Looking forward to the Roku love on the horizon.
