Lost Dozens Of Recording Schedules

I had seven daily local newscasts schedule to record new. A little different on the weekends, but weekdays is local on one channel at 6am, 11am, 4pm, 5,pm, and 6pm, and national at 5:30 another channel. All disappeared this weekend, except for Fridays (?). On the surface, they all appear to have kept the same name (so not Local News with Lori Smith becoming Local News With Thom Smith).

None of the recording schedule had been touched in months, since’ it’s summer. However, Friday night, local high school football was on a small My Network TV channel (a primary, not a subchannel). I had to expand my guide to show all channels, since it’s normally hidden. The football game was not scheduled. So I set a recording of “chicago fire” at the start time and extended the recording schedule by 3 hours to get my game.

About an hour later, was playing back a recording from a different station, and the Tablo crashed, locked up and required a power cycle reboot. All devices came back up, and the 3 hours extension started back and caught the game correction. It recorded a Friday 10pm newscast correctly. But this week, it started missing the scheduled recordings, and none were showing schedule except for Fridays (again the same name).

Other network TV show recordings show they are still scheduled, but with no recordings upcoming since it’s summer rerun season.

I’m 100% sure the local news station and the national news station had no signal problems this weekend (and while that would mess up recordings, it would not remove them from the schedule.

Is this the Gen4 or Legacy device? If the Legacy device, are these shows scheduled using the Gen4 or Legacy app?

Sorry should have specified. It was Gen 4.

The locals were also scheduled on a Legacy, but that schedule is still there when checked with then Gen 4 app.

Make sure we have the right information … the issues you’re experiencing are with the schedule on a Gen4 device, but you also have a Legacy device on which the Gen4 app schedule is still working?

If so, it sounds like the airings/schedule may have somehow gotten confused. You may need to contact @TabloTV to see if they can shed some light on how or why this occurred.

I think the first thing they’ll suggest is a new channel scan or Guide update.

Issue was schedules on Gen 4 with Gen 4 app.
Schedules with Legacy using Gen 4 app were find.

Since the Fridays were remaining, I found I could just click one, change from “new” to “all” the back to "new and it caught everything on the Gen 4 schedule .

I also initiated a guide update. Don’t want to do a channel scan. Some channels are weak right now due to trees but will return in the fall.
