NEW – Resume recording feature
- After a power failure Tablo will resume any recordings still in progress.
- Two recordings will be created for the interrupted airing – one from before and one from after the interruption event.
- Additionally, if there is another airing of the show in the next 14 days, your Tablo will automatically reschedule this recording. Tablo will also reschedule recordings interrupted by reception problems.
- In order for Tablo to reschedule a later airing, you must have the Smart Scheduling feature ‘Don’t record duplicates’ enabled.
- If the later airing(s) create conflicts, they will be placed within the conflicts screen where if you wish you can unschedule the conflicting programs.

Significant speed improvements to sync processes between Tablo and connected devices
- You asked us to reduce the amount of time devices take to synch with your Tablo and we listened. We have changed the way the synch process happens so the process should take half the time.
Speed improvements to ‘Live TV’ tuning
- Another popular user request, we’ve cut live TV tuning times by approximately 30-40%. And remember, once tuned, a channel will come up very quickly allowing you to flip back and forth between two or more programs depending on which Tablo model you have.
