Okay so I have a 2 tuner Tablo set up in my home in South Carolina. Half of the time I work in Indiana, away from home. Late last week, Thursday or Friday, I tried to watch a recorded show on my Nexus Player. It connected and played for about 8 minutes and then the feed just died. From then on my app still showed that it was connected to the Tablo, but It wouldn’t play any video, live or recorded. Not on my pc, not on my phone, not on my nexus player, not on my tablets, not on my fire tv stick. Some of my devices wouldn’t even connect to the Tablo, but the ones that would, would all get an error. So I had my dad go and push the reset button, now all my devices wont connect to my tablo at all, and I don’t even know if it’s recording any of my shows. I MISSED MY NFL GAME. this is not acceptable…
I’m paying you guys money so that I can watch and record my local shows and games, either while I’m at home or while I’m away. Besides these issues, my devices will randomly loose it’s ‘connection’. I have to wait a month or so before I’m home to connect my phone or my tablet to my home network before it sees my Tablo again. This is even more serious for my nexus player or my fire tv.
DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. I’ve been researching other ways of recording ota channels and streaming it through Plex if possible. The thing is I don’t want to. I love what Tablo brings to the table, and it’s gotten even better with it’s recent updates. But if I cant watch my shows half of the time, then I don’t know what else to do. Now XBox One can stream and record ota channels.
Let me connect my devices to my Tablo while I’m away from home, even if they have never been on my home network. Let me reset my Tablo remotely so I don’t have to drive 500 miles home, or call my dad. Damn you, just let me use my Tablo.
And Chromecast is still BROKEN for me. Now that it’s been half a week, I guess I’ll call my dad and ask him to go and hit the reset button again and hope it fixes it, and then hope one of my devices here is still synced with it. sigh…
So here’s the deal, I give you guys one more chance to set this straight. I really want you to, because I really like Tablo and want to use it. Otherwise I go and seek out other ways to record (and hopefully stream) my ota channels.
