One channel is acting up for me. It runs about a 10 second loop that is jerky and pixelated. All was fine with all channels until today. I have very good reception and the same channel looks fine when run directly into my TV with only a paper clip antenna. I have the 4 tuner model.
I fixed by simply turning my antenna amplifier off and on.
Interesting - entirely possible the amplifier was introducing too much noise on said channel. But if you can pick up said channel with a paper clip it sounds like the transmitting tower is very close for said channel. When the tower is that close you do not need an amplifier. You could try a unamplified antenna.
Is this amplifier an add-on to your setup? Or did it come as an amplified antenna?
What is the make and model of the antenna and amplifier?
Since you appear to be have a strong enough signal without it, I might suggest you remove your amp. At least check it out very well. One failure mode of these preamps is that it can induce a DC-Bias voltage downstream (towards the Tablo). If the amp is “feeding” voltage in to the Tablo’s antenna port (or ground) then I would expect unpredictable behavior.
