I have a few suggestions I would like to post. I realise the first suggestion is already in development, but would really like to see it prioritised.
- Allow offline use
- Scheduled restarts
- Aluminium Case
The first item is the one that is most important to me. This would allow usage during server outages or Internet outages. I realise FAST channels and guide updates would be unavailable, but live TV and recordings only need the local network, so these should continue to work.
My Tablo works quite well most of the time, but every few weeks I have to restart it due to it behaving oddly. It would be nice to be able to have an option in settings for a periodic scheduled restart that would be smart enough to perform the restart during a time when it is not recording, being used or about to start a recording.
I have seen many discussions about the unit running too hot and the work-arounds people use with fans and laptop coolers. Many devices (like routers, switches, mini-computers) use aluminium cases to solve this issue. It would be nice if Tablo offered this as an option when ordering. It would be even nicer if it could be offered as an after-marker upgrade to upgrade existing plastic case Tablos.
