@TabloTV @TabloSupport The last 2 updates trying to view remote on my iPad Pro looks like this. Iâve tried LiveTV twice at the gym with the same results. Running 2.2.10. Look at the bottom of the image. The other part of the image was from CBS and the main image is from Fox if that helps.
@koltasi - Were you previously viewing the Fox live feed before CBS?
(Random aside, not sure what Rachel Ray is cooking, but they look tasty.)

My poor unwrapped AppleTV4 is shivering with anticipation âŚ
The other day, yes. Today it did it again and wasnât watching anything before. I canât get rid of it.
Wonder if itâs a weird manifestation of the picture in picture feature on iOS 9⌠http://appleinsider.com/articles/15/09/18/inside-ios-9-apples-new-ipad-only-picture-in-picture-mode-lets-you-keep-watching-video-with-any-task
Can you try clicking on the arrow on the top right corner to expand the screen? And is this only while youâre using Tablo Connect or is it also while youâre at home?
Try fullscreen? I wasnât using PIP, I know what that is. Doesnât work with the Tablo and say MLB app btw. Yes, I just tried it and it has only happened connecting remotely.
Guys -
Will send this to support as well. I live in Yonkers, NY - less than 20 miles from the transmitters in Manhattan. I have a Leaf 50 flat antenna and all my major networks are coming in full strength full green circles on the signal meter when adding channels. Iâve been playing with my new 2-tuner Tablo for about 3 weeks now and had found a good spot for it and the antenna and getting good recordings and live tv.
Ever since the 2.2.10 update, Iâve been getting a lot of breakups, pauses and skips - especially from WCBS-TV Channel 2.1 in New York. This is both on Live TV and on recordings. I have tried just about everything. Rebooting, relocating the antenna and re-scanning for channels, putting he Tablo on wifi instead of hard-wired, reformatting the USB drive (and disconnecting it too) â to no avail.
Iâm getting ready to cut the âvirtualâ cord to my DirecT subscription but canât until these issues are resolved. Can anyone (including table support) shed some light on the problem?
Thanks!

What is your zip code? what does www.tvfool.com say you should get? Have you tried connecting the antenna directly to the TV?
Have you tried to connect your antenna directly to your tv and see if you lose the signal also?
Do you use your antenna amplifier or not?
While I see WCBS is real channel 33, which is UHF, you have some stations that are VHF. I suggest Winegard FL5500A antenna which is designed for both UHF and VHF. I used 10705 as the zip code to see the information.
Guys -
The Tablo was working well for the 2 weeks prior to getting the firmware update⌠I wasnât getting the breakups, pauses and skips.
TV is located downstairs and not in the optimal spot for the antenna. Iâve tried the Leaf 50 with and without the amplifier and I get the same results. The Leaf 50 is basically identical to the Wineguard FL5500A antenna.

The antennas are NOT the same. I can not get 62 (real 13) with Leaf but can with Winegard. Maybe because of distance too. It is in Killeen.
In the past two weeks the weather has changed in terms of heat and humidity. That can affect antenna performance between 15 to 20%. Reception can go down as far as 3 to 6 db in the change between seasons. Such a reduction in the digital age can result in âthe fall off the cliffâ phenomenon or signal disruption (getting LPWs).
As well, in a city environment, a new building going up between the reception area and the transmitter can change the path of a signal. That happens frequently in a metropolitan area. Frequently a user will not see new construction going up a mile or two away from his home and wonders why OTA reception has changed so dramatically (seemingly overnight).
New construction (or even edifice modifications along the way) can also introduce multipath distortion in which signals bounce around in city areas sometimes negating each other as wave troughs meet wave peaks.
One of the stated objectives of ATSC 3.0 is how can transmitter deployment in a metropolitan area be done in such a way as to mitigate multipath distortion (especially for mobile and moving reception). Thus ensuring more vehicular accidentsâŚ
They could have changed the sensitivity of the tuner is my only guess. Did you run the beta? I ran the beta and didnât have any problems. However after the beta, I was watching NBC Nightly News almost immediately after it finished recording, while the thumbnails were being created. I had nothing but LPW on Roku and NP. The next night I didnât get around to watching until 8 PM, and there were NO LPW on Roku 4. Everything I have is wireless. David said theyâll try that at @TabloSupport and see if they have problems too.
Since LPWs are a sign of transmission retardation and video segment buffering, could generation of thumbnails at the same time as viewing take a toll on the Tabloâs common resources?
I tell my wife, âDonât watch something while it is recording or immediately after it has been recorded - wait a little while.â Sheâs had problems with LPWs otherwiseâŚ
Iâve watched while it was still recording without a problem, but this was the first time after the recording had finished, so I knew thumbnails were being generated.
