Just thought I would share this weird behavior I experienced last night with my Tablo on FireTV. When I would play an episode of any recording, it would play at, what seemed like, double or 2x speed and with no sound. I exited the Tablo app and tried again, but still the same behavior. I tried playing recordings from several different shows, which are recorded from various dates, but still same behavior. I decided to give up and I restarted my FireTV, but I haven’t yet gone back to the Tablo app to try again.
If it’s still behaving that way, I will start a support ticket, but I’m guessing it won’t because restarting the FireTV always seems to fix any issues I’m having with Tablo.
Basically unwatchable and had to delete the recordings
Occurred on multiple strong local channels (5 miles from tower with direct line of sight), so shouldn’t be a low/weak signal issue
Using server grade hard drive (WD RE4) in cooled enclosure
Viewed using multiple clients: VLC on Ubuntu (Wired), Roku 3 4200X (WiFi), Roku 3 4230R (WiFi) (again, doesn’t matter which client, it appears to be recorded like this)
@TabloSupport: I have seen this numerous times on different channels (and now have heard from another user in a completely different market who I recommended to purchase a Tablo who now has experienced similar behavior using FireTV).
In my case I believe it may be in part related to signal strength/quality. After doing some investigation, I found my antenna amplifier power was inadvertently disconnected.
However, it is still puzzling because it has happened on strong channels as well (and continues to happen occasionally)
Once I have enough info, I will create a ticket as appropriate.
@theuser86, If you are replying to me, I already provided that information in my previous post above.
Quoting myself:

This is happening to me too. The strange part is that it happens on Tablo and also on my Amazon prime video. That seems really strange as I would have expected it to be something related to the Tablo itself, but apparently my issue is browser related or something.
I found the problem, although the exact cause is still a mystery. I found tons of internet search results for videos playing super fast with no audio with sites that use Adobe Flash. Most of the people with this issue mentioned it being caused by a certain audio driver or audio device being used in their windows and ubuntu machines. So I changed my audio source to another and everything started working correctly again. Sounds like there’s some bug related to Flash and certain audio drivers.
