I would be so crushed 
This is exactly what I am looking/waiting for as I believe Roku’s are the most versatile (IMHO) … (and because I bought 4 of them, ouch)
@tablotester - Settings is something you shouldn’t have to poke at often, if at all. Once we have all of the TV sort screens in you’ll be able to do pretty much everything you need on a daily basis via Roku.
I realize that; but it is nice to have “one stop shopping” … I hate having to go to another device just to even check a setting (in particular disk space remaining, for example).
Wow I wish I had knew that before, I’m definetly returning this Roku asap.
So basically, if I understand this right, anyone using a Roku will never be able to watch a 1080P recording because of it’s limitation in bit rate?
Thanks again for the reply 
Does this mean the Roku is not be able to render the full 1080 @ 60 fps? I gave up on my AppleTV and bought four (4) Rokus.
Newer, more powerful Rokus (like Roku 3) can handle 1080 @ 60 fps video, especially when hardwired despite Roku’s overall recommendation of only sending 3.5 mbsp. This is why some folks say, “Hey works great… no problem!”
If you’ve got a so-so router or network, or an older/less powerful Roku, or you’re running everything via WiFi, that’s where things get dicey.
Everyone’s network is different and there is a lot of fragmentation in terms of firmware & hardware on Roku so it’s difficult to define what the ‘magic’ formula will be.

Good to hear. I will be using a wired network for all my Roku 3s with an Airport Extreme 6th gen. My Tablo arrives to night and I will play with it all weekend, when I am not watching some football.
Based on this article https://www.tablotv.com/blog/choosing-right-tablo-recording-quality/
a 1080P / 60 FPS recording will pull 10 mbps. If the Roku is limited to 3.5 mbps, how is it supposed to work? what am I missing here?
@jayeffgee - ‘Limited’ is not the correct way to look at it. Roku recommends that channels only send around 3.5 mbps because this works on pretty much all Rokus under all circumstances.
IF you have a good quality network (wired or high speed WiFi), a good quality router and a good quality Roku (like a Roku 3) it should be able to handle everything we can throw at it. If not, it’s like trying to shove an orange through a straw.
Well, my tablo is wired, external antenna is coming straight into it, I previously had a cheap D-Link wireless router that I replaced this week with a Netgear R7000, which is a very good router.
Both my Roku and Apple TV are wireless, tried both 2.4 and 5ghz on them.
My AppleTV can take anything (multiple FFW and RW of the same show), I can’t get it to skip once.
Roku is giving me the loading please wait every 5 mins or so, seems like it’s starting to do it even for live TV.
Can you please try the 720p Roku / Chromecast recording quality? Power cycle the Tablo after the change to have it take affect (hold the blue button on the back of the Tablo for 1 second)
Let us know how it goes.
720p works better, much less interruption with Roku.
However, with Football season starting I’m definitely going to record in 1080P and watch on airplay, I’d rather lose a remote then watch choppy games of football
Much less interruption or none?
I’ll run some tests later to confirm.
Just out of curiosity, any of you guys are recording in 1080p and running it on Roku flawlessly?
I use 1080p over Wifi on Roku and it is almost flawless. Fast startup and no buffering for almost all shows, but my wife says occasionally she gets buffering on the Bacherlorette for some reason. Other than that its flawless since I upgraded my router.
What is the make and model of said router?
TP-Link Archer C7. It seems to be quite popular around here.
The main reason I watch Tablo using the FireTV Stick instead of Roku 3. I’ve got enough HDMI connections that both can be plugged in, and ust use the HDMI button on the TV remote.
So was the old 1080p / 30 fps not pushing quite 10 mps? Before the update I had been running 1080 for almost a year with no issues on a hardwired Roku 3. Once the last firmware was installed I get the lovely “loading” signal, mainly when watching recorded shows but a little with Live TV. I’ll switch it over to 720p and see if it works any better today.
As mentioned above is anyone with a Roku still able to get flawless playback with the new update and 1080p / 60? @getcashmoney mentioned that his was working on wireless but didn’t mention if it was with the update.
Would Chromecast solve the bit rate problem?
