Small fix for an issue with manual program creation
About This Release
A separate Roku OS 11 update is coming soon which does contain some visual changes to the Roku player software. We believe this Tablo Channel update should ensure all of our visual overlays – like Automatic Commercial Skip segment markers – will be in the right spots once Roku OS 11 arrives, but if you spot anything else out of the ordinary once your Roku updates to OS 11, please let us know.
The change to manual recordings will only be visible to those who don’t have an active TV Guide Data Service subscription.
If you have any questions or feedback about this update, don’t hesitate to drop us a line or comment below.
If the program was already being watched and thus on the disk (for rewind)…will the one-time manual recording catch it from the beginning or just start recording at the time it is set?
It will begin from the time it’s set. We currently don’t have a way to gather up the previous segments stored in the buffer to append to the recording.
Still no Tablo Connect for Roku? sigh
I love my Roku and it’s my device of choice, but I have to use a Fire TV device for Tablo Connect (yes, I could use Google/Android TV or Apple TV, but not Roku). I have two locations I manage in town, and put up a really good antenna one (the easier one, of course), and use Tablo Connect to watch TV at both houses. But not on my Roku. Should I stop holding out hope for that in a future update?
It does. The argument could be made that we could/should just start calling it the Tablo Roku app. Just seems weird to change it after we’ve been using this language for almost 8 years now.
Roku calling their apps “channels” perhaps made marketing sense at the time, since OTT video was so new and live streams were rare, but now it’s confusing, especially now with “The Roku Channel” Roku channel.
How so? Sure not all of the Tablo DVRs are headless now, but does that make much difference?
They are all very different now, with regards to features. It’s not an easy explain anymore. But, your response does support the stance. Worthy of its own thread for discussion.
It’s fine. It was the first announcement pertaining to the subject that I’ve seen and I hadn’t had my coffee yet.
For a few seconds I envisioned a way to record live Roku Channel content but I understand that would need to be Cloud based and initiated by Roku, similar to saving Philo content.
Yes, the Roku app needs to at least come up to parity with the Fire Stick when it comes to conflict resolution. Being able to set scheduling priorities like ReplayTV and TiVo had would be a dream come true.
I have a Fire Stick; It is slow, I have to reboot it at least once a week because it hangs, it doesn’t have an app I use, and I don’t like the UI compared to my Ultra.
