@DOUCHEOPOTAMOUS, well… if you think about it, switching like, and making it “fast” would ideally require watching live mpeg-ts (prior to capture convert). I mean you could watch the grabbed mp4-ts and switch pretty fast if you disallow pausing, etc… and it’s a bit easier to do if there are more than one tuner available. We’ll see how the new Roku channel behaves…
A feature my wife and I would like, the ability too see which shows are watched. Our schedules don’t always work out so that we can watch shows together, so we often watch things separately. It would be nice to see that a show has already been watched on X date, so that I know when I see that, I can delete it after I watch it, instead of having to remember to ask her about every show that I watch without her. Minor thing, but would be helpful for us
@jrkeyboard - This is a feature we’ve already implemented!
If you look at your list of recordings, the ones with the blue dots are unwatched. Half blue dots are partially watched and no dots are watched.
@TabloTV that makes sense… is it going to be implemented into the Roku app? that’s where we watch all of our shows. Thanks!
@jrkeyboard - Roku is always a special snowflake 
On the current Roku app, you’ll see a ‘Resume’ option next to play if a show is partially watched. However if someone has gone and watched the entire recording, you’ll have no way of knowing.
In the NEW Roku app that will be coming out shortly, we will have similar watched indicators to the rest of our UIs.
That should solve the ‘have you watched this’ debate.
Perfect… thanks!
Hi @MikeNE Maybe I misunderstand you but what stops having your router issue a static IP based on the Tablo mac address? Maybe not all routers support DHCP reservation?10. Static IP option rather than relying on router reservationsMike
I am just wondering what advantage there would be setting this locally on each device in your network rather that centrally managing the list on the router itself?
There is no real advantage other than some routers do not have DHCP reservation. To be honest though, any decent router has this feature.
ISP modem / router combos tend to be the problem.
- Native MPEG-2 recording and playback
- Auto commercial removal from recordings
- Channel surfing of live tv
- Apple TV, Xbox one, and ps4 apps
- Hit record while watching live TV; begins recording from start of program (via 30 minute buffer when watching live)
- Set which channels the tuners should default to…so tuning/buffering time is less.
–EDITED–
Actually, #1 should be support for 5.1 surround sound!!!
I'm using a PC connected to my TV for much of my viewing, and so am using the Web app to view my tablo. Unfortunately that means I need to use a mouse to put the video in full screen, or to pause the show. I would like to see:
- keyboard shortcuts for controlling the video
- setting to automatically go full screen when watching the playback, or at least use the entire browser window
I am watching with the browser already in full screen mode, but the playback always leaves the bar at the top with the arrows to the left and down unless I click the video to full screen as well.
Good requests.
Question for you, what are the specs of this PC connected to your HDTV? Are you connected via HDMI? And what video card are you using?
@Grant I asked for that bar at the top to go away a LONG time ago. I figure it should go away with the controls at the bottom…
I would think that should be an easy fix huh @TabloTV???
a simple screen that shows what recordings and what time are coming up for today, tomorrow, this week and show a parallel view of the tuners and which shows are scheduled for which tuners.
I posted this last year i think in this thread with a pic of what it looked like in SageTV, but that would be hugely useful!
@Jestep - We’ve got something in the works that should satisfy this request. Stay tuned.
A quick list:
1. Skip Backwards\Forwards 10sec on press, 30sec second press (specifically the non PC viewing applications like Roku)
2. Delete an entire group of recordings. So if I have 10 episodes of something I watched, I want to just select the group and delete.
3. Selective delete, where I can check the recordings I want to delete, so not just a single group but multiple titles or episodes.
4. Signal Strength meter on live tv
5. Signal Strength meter on channel list under settings,
6. Ability to add channels manually.
Apple TV app!!!

@villaininblack - It’s just a personal preference. I have lots of devices (30-40), and I like having the ability to change an IP on the device itself so I can move things around in the subnet without rebooting the router. I generally keep my DHCP range very small. I just feel restricted when a device is ONLY designed to work with DHCP.
@theuser86 - yes, my routers do have that ability. Some are configured as access points, but all are running either Tomato or DD-WRT. As I said, for me the advantage is being able to change the IP of a single device without rebooting the router and resetting everyone’s connection.
Again…it was just a wish list. Even if none of them happen, I’ll still be happy. Even though the Tablo guys have been great, I bought it based on what it was when I bought it, not on future promises.
1) Would like to be able to mark somehow when a recording has already been watched. Would come in handy when I have several episodes of a series and need want to watch, but can't remember where I left off. Right now what I do is after I watch something, I go back to the beginning and let it play a couples seconds so that the resume marker comes up.
2) The ability to add time to front or back of a recording, to allow for when sports events mess up the regular schedule.
MikeNE - that’s very odd that you have to reboot a router for that! In fact that’s one great thing about reservations, they can be changed on the fly in a lot of routers, no reboot needed, it simply moves forward.
I can change reservations on the fly on a Microsoft server or PC acting as a DHCP server, or on my equipment, on Cisco ASAs and so on, never rebooting them.
Reservations mean making a change and only having to reboot the device that gets the DHCP address given to it, not the one giving it unless some routers DO require a reboot for that. Most I work with do not, and the servers I work with do not. Thank goodness, or I’d have an entire gov’t agency up in arms every time I tweak a range or put in a new reservation…
I note episodes now do show when they’ve been watched. and partially watched, just found that tonight after the firmware upgrade of a couple of nights ago.
I would like to add a feature request. Can we have couple of more links like Recording
1)“Recently Watched” - Under this link you should have all the shows which we started watching but did not complete - just like Netflix.
2)“Recently Added” - Under this link you should have all the shows which have been recorded new but have never been watched even once
