Note: This is my first time on this forum, and I didn’t find anything from the recent past discussing these issues. So if I’m covering old ground, please excuse me.
I spoke to a Tablo TV CS rep to confirm they are aware of the following issues re: interaction between Tablo TV 4th Gen and Apple TV 4K:
Cannot watch a recording in progress from the beginning (can only watch at the live point forward).
A completed recording regularly restarts the first one to two 2 minutes of play from the beginnig.
On more than one occasion,“EDEDEDED…” appears instead of regular closed caption.
The rep stated they are already working on fixes for 1&2, and will add the fix for #3 to their future updates.
Finally, for those not already aware, I was told they are working on a fix for Tablo TV not having native “commercial skip”/FF functionality w/ Apple TV. In the meantime, I found the Apple TV remote’s FF function to be very easy to operate and useful (including the fact that it shows thumbnails while FF “sliding”).
Hello — I’ve found those exact, first two, annoyances. Bugs me that one cannot watch, from the beginning, a show that is in process of being recorded. Lesser of an annoyance, is that two min bounce back at the beginning of each recording. Hope something gets done about this.
Back-to-beginning bounce back still happening here too. I’m also still experiencing a play head skip to the end of a recording if I try to FF over commercials. Basic playback navigation is unstable and unpredictable.
I’m regretting upgrading to Gen 4 and losing faith in this product. I sure would like to see some assurance from Tablo that updates are coming to resolve AppleTV issues. This glacial pace of progress is frustrating.
I have 2 of the newest AppleTV 4k 128Gb’s and have almost no problems at all with my Tablo Quad. Very stable and I been a tester since the beginning I think here.
About the only thing I can think of is getting stuck moving around in the guide sometimes. Then you have to go up or to the side to fix it.
Some of those problems happen on other device apps too, so not only Apple.
