Hello! Just checking if this is a feature in the new version of tablo. We watch and record Good Morning America most morning. It starts at 7 and ends at 9, but we get up at 7:30 and we like to watch from the beginning. Is that possible in the new model?
You can do that with the 4th gen Tablo except on Android phones. There is a recent thread about that limitation.
Just go to “Library” and select the show/episode that is recording. It will play from the beginning. Or you can just go to live tv, select the show, and rewind to the beginning.

Apple devices are an exception to this as well.
Technically referred to as “time-shifting”.
Why not just setup a record of the show from 7-9am which you can go to your library and begin watching at 7:30am but rewind back to start time and watch while it continues to record. I do that with sports when I won’t make it in time to watch from the start and then I can skip the commercials till recording catches up with live time?
I have the new 4th gen Tablo and do that now.
This feature does not work with WebOS (on LG TV’s) as well. If thr program starts at 6:30pm and I go to Library to watch it at 6:40, it is not yet there to click on. This is a very important feature and I used to use it constantly with my older Tablo. What gives?
What happens if you go to the live grid and watch it from there? Can you rewind to the beginning?
Did you look under Latest or under Scheduled? It won’t show up under All Recordings until complete, but it should be there in the first two categories.
If you click on it from “Latest”, it will play from the beginning, but will not offer to watch live. You can fast forward to live if you wish.
If you select it from “Scheduled”, it will offer only “Watch Live”. But you can rewind to the beginning of the recording.
It would be nice to be more consistent on the LG, but at least it doesn’t have the issues of the AppleTv or mobile phones when it comes to watching recordings in progress.
Doesn’t it seem rather twisted logic that “all” recording is a subset to “latest” recordings.
On some of the platforms it doesn’t show up in Latest until it’s finished recording. It’s another of those inconsistencies between apps…
And if I’m recording a FAST channel that has split the recording into multiple segments. Can I find segment 1 under “all” as it’s recording segment 3.
“Inconsistencies” is a scrubbed term for bug.
Thank you for all the help with my concern for Tablo TV on WebOS (on LG TV’s)–not allowing me to record a program and then watch it 10 minutes after it starts. I tried all of the responses and the only one that worked for me is going to “Latest”, selecting the show (live) and then rewinding back to the beginning.
On another note: I have other TV’s using my same Table TV, but with a Roku device. This version of the Tablo TV app allows me to use the “back” key (or “return” key) to jump back to the top menu. This is extremely helpful when I’m scrolling down through channels and want to just get back to the top. I wish the WebOS version did this as well. (Nothing happens when I hit the “back” key.) (The WebOS app version seems to behave erratically and sometimes displays an error and asks me if I want to exit my Tablo TV… In any event, I’ve hooked back up my old Tablo and use that one when the new WebOS app hangs up. I’m assuming the development folks are working through these issues.) Thanks for all your help.
