I added 2 OTA channels and removed 1. I let the update guide function go to completion and then went to live TV. The 2 new channels are not there and the 1 channel I removed is still there. How long does it take for the guide to make these changes?
Legacy Tablo runnig Gen 4 update. Firestick. Firmware 2.2.60-2610615.
I assume you are talking about the Live TV menu. I would exit/disconnect the app and restart the app. If that doesn’t help you could always go to the fire tv stick setting/manage app and clear the gen 4 app cache and restart the app. That should force the channels and guide to be reloaded.
However, it is annoying and sometimes I have to get the channels set the way I want, then do another rescan/save. Usually it works. Sometimes I fiddle around with six or seven rescans.
Sometimes through my tears I just change my zip code to an adjacent one and rescan/save.
BTW there are 2 guide updates. When you initially make a change and save a brief update takes place on your device. This updates the ‘selected’ flags.
A second and longer update takes place to connect to the Tablo Gen4 servers to get guide data.
Wait for both to complete. Exit the app. Start the app. I’ve noticed that sometimes the changes are not reflected on the screen until the app restarts and refreshes the guide.
And what does another app like a cell phone show for live TV. I haven’t added and subtracted any channels for a long time. And I only use the favorites that I marked in the channel scan. Nothing fancy or tricky.
That’s the bug. Your Channels show one thing and then the guide shows no change. Conversely the change can be reflected in the guide but the Your Channels will have the select flags wrong.
Cell phone app has same issue. Secong guide update did not fix the issue. The channel ID box on the left side of the guide has also lost it’s color graphics. It just show call letters and station #.
Are we talking about new stations that are not normally part of your DMA/Zipcode. And while I think that mature code should not require a tablo unit reboot maybe your unit needs a reboot.
Otherwise you have tried almost all the tricks and need to open a ticket.
