OTA will not play

I am trying to watch a network channel and it shows up in my guide but when I play it the screen goes dark. All non OTA channels stream fine. I have the Tablo TV connected to my Apple TV and live and recordings work fine. When I want to watch from another room on a different tv (LG and a roku) this tv is where the problem is. Need help. This is a new Tablo as the old one died last week and it OTA channels worked fine on both tv’s

Same symptom here. OTA does not play but FAST channels do. Was working yesterday.

Could it be:

I think this unlikely, as mine was working yesterday and my Roku and Tablo devices have been updated before then. This looks like a new issue.

Odd, it worked on my other Roku. Enabled audio compatibility mode and now OTA is working again.

What could have happened over night. I don’t think a guide update would cause this. What else could have been updated overnight.

Not sure how it was working before. Changing audio compatibility fixed it.

UPDATE: the fix suggested in replies is from 2024 so I assumed that with my newer TabloTV it would have the necessary updates. The Tablo fix under the Roku app instructs to go to settings and General Options. There is an option that is not there in my update and that is an option to change surround sound. But if I scroll further down under troubleshooting there is an option to turn audio compatibility on. It was off when I had the issue. Once I toggled the option on , the OTA channels worked! Both live and dvr playback. Thanks for steering me in the right direction
