First there’s an announced “downtime” maintenance Tablo Server - Planned Maintenance - March 7 Early AM, for maybe 30min but probably 2hrs. Couple posts extending the time until 10:43 when it’s over Tablo Server - Planned Maintenance - March 7 - #5 by TabloTV. Five hours which for some/many their device may become useless…
During this time your Tablo won’t be able to:
- Download firmware updates
- Perform TV Guide Data updates
- Connect to the web app at my.tablotv.com
- Connect using remote access (Tablo Connect)
- And if your apps are unable to discover your Tablo on the local network, connection to your Tablo will fail as the server is used as a backup discovery mechanism
Then
Now:
Of course there’s the CEO’s indecision about how to handle the subscription modifications, presumably what initiated the planned maintenance.
Next time couldn’t your marketing team extent the announcement to warn users to plan on other issues! Announce possible struggles before we have to discover the failures on our own.
Certainly who ever planned the project, deciding it was a good-idea, found it more than just a learning experience.
