@Ordoff - the Apple TV app does have a local network fallback in the event that there’s no external internet however using Tablo frequently without a connection is not ideal. Every evening Tablo will reach out over the web to download guide data as well as perform maintenance and this can’t occur without that connection.
If it’s offline for several days, you may wind up missing recordings for lack of guide data and your database may get pretty messy.
We were without Internet service in our new house for about 3 weeks. While the basic Tablo functions worked (e.g. watch this channel) it was otherwise terrible. No guide data, the time/date were way off, etc.
I wish they would use EPG data as a backup in this case and possibly using the time signal there as a backup, but alas they do not.
Calm down. Take a breath. Call technical support. Manage your expectations. Maybe don’t buy 4 Apple TVs before you know whether a system is going to work with your setup.
I have have been with tablo for 5 days and i love it. I have an apple TV in my living room and a Roku2 in my bed room. All worked fine until yesterday. The apple TV could not load the recorded shows. I can view recorded shows on my roku2, iphone, Ipad, and MacBook. So problem seems to be only with AppleTv app. So i switched appleTV to my bedroom to watch live TV. Roku2 in living room which is where i watch TV mostly. I rebooted AppleTV and Tablo, the problem is still there. Not a big thing but hopefully can be fixed sometimes. And i hope that the problem won’t start on my other devices.
My sister is thinking about getting a Tablo unit and needs to know if the Tablo app for Apple TV will work on her’s. She has a model A1469 with Software 7.2.1 (8011). Thanks
