No PC support for 4th Gen? No thanks

I was looking in to upgrading to a 4th gen Tablo, but when I found out no support for Windows 11 PC, I quickly decided it is a no go. Also will not be updating my legacy to the new 4th firmware.

Almost 50% of our use here in our home is on PC’s. Amazing a company would come out with an “updated” product that has LESS features.

BlueStacks will work against a Windows PC.

I just installed Bluestacks X on my Windows 11 pro Lenovo laptop and Tablo 4 works fine. Agree 4Gen should be native app, and eventually Tablo will provide it, but this works for me.

See if anything like this is on Windows, I don’t use Windows. My Mac Studio has that new iPhone mirroring feature in Mac Sequoia. Anything on my iPhone I can use on my Mac now. I can use the Tablo app and everything else fine.

I know some high end Samsung phones can do this in Win 11, forget what it was called, but only a handful pf phones can do it.

I found the link.

Bluestacks? LOL, why should I have to use third party software for a product that SHOULD have native PC support. The legacy unit works great on a PC, I am still amazed that they would even try to use the term “improved” when they actually have downgraded the product. 4th Gen is a no for me.

Why do you think Windows has the native MPEG2 support to work with a 4th gen Tablo? The legacy unit transcodes, which is why it works on every platform.

Nice idea, using phone via computer to use tablo app but requires microsoft account.

NO THANKS.

I get not using a M$ account, but what was wrong with the suggestion @KimchiGUN made? Blue Stacks works great on PC and you can use Google’s own Android Studio on PC or Mac.

Loading a program to run another operating system to run ONE app is crazy to me. My temp solution was to buy a $20 ONN/walmart streaming box (android TV OS), and connecting it to another port on my pc monitor to watch my Tablo stuff. Much simpler than bluestacks, etc.
