Just got my first Tablo Dual Lite yesterday. Hooked a 1Tb Hard drive via usb. Formatted the HD just fine. The Tablo connected to my Laptop (web app), ROKU and iPhone app correctly.
I think I saw something on the startup screen that the initial guide date may take 1-2 days to download? Is this correct? (I started this yesterday-Mon. at 2pm)
So far, the guide is ‘somehwat populated’ - with the text of the listings but no photos on the cover of the listing … AND what is more troubling, there is NO live TV at all. (Yes I have the antenna plugged in and know it works).
Is this a defective unit or is there something I can do to speed this along?
(I haven’t cancelled my TIVO service, just yet - ???)
I scanned once - got 23 channels - all the ones I received on the scan using my Samsung 4K tv’s tuner. This is really a strange problem. Yes, I checked all of them to add to the list.
Glad you are asking questions - just trying to get this working
yes, it’s connected … via wired Ethernet cable (100Mbit port on router).
I can see the Tablo from the app on my phone - so I am pretty sure that is OK.
What else is there ?
The first time usually takes an hour or two to sync, not days.
The Program Guide data will then be downloaded from the internet to your Tablo. This process will take several minutes for each channel. Tablo will download the first day of programing for each channel before allowing full access to the full user interface.
The remaining 13 days of data will be downloaded in the background. This is a one-time operation. Moving forward, guide data will be downloaded nightly.
You say no Live TV … but you do have a Live TV Tab, right? On the Left column, where you see Recordings, Guide, etc.? What do you see when you click the Guide Tab?
