About 75% of the time within the last week’s worth of shows, the show unfortunately did not record all of the way. While Flash recorded fine, Arrow missed the first 20 minutes, S.H.I.E.L.D. only recorded the first 3 minutes, and Big Bang Theory recorded only the first 15 minutes or so too. I believe Once Upon Time also missed the last 15 minutes if I’m correct. So the only thing I’ve verified to work fine has been The Flash on CW.
All of these shows previously had recorded in full.
Now the summary of the recording will show it as either being 30 minutes, or for the other shows it indicates 59 minutes, 1 hr, 1hr 1min, etc. (this is on the screen where you select “Watch”).
My Hard drive is also a Toshiba Canvio Connect II 1TB (HDTC810XL3A1), that has very high marks and absolutely should not be an issue.
I have 8 days left until my Amazon return window closes, and if the DVR doesn’t work then it pretty much defeats the whole purpose of this device, and I might as well just return it and use the combo of Plex, PlayOn, Hulu Plus, and just the Antenna live feed going into my TV.
@TabloTV Just a side note (my own personal opinion/feelings expressed here), for $200 I expected this to work right out of the box. Never had any of these issues with Roku, and I know support here has criticized Roku’s 3.7mb/s throughput limit, but have issue after issue after issue with this. The only reason I bought one of these was to help my SAVE money, not add so much frustration and time invested into getting this to work. In the end it’s going into the “costing me” category which whether it’s time or money ends up being the same thing in the end. The whole thought of now having to pay for a subscription is weighing on me too. For $350 this should be flawless, not be something that feels like it’s SourceForge. Does your company compensate customers like other businesses do when they experience issue, after issue, after issue?
Thanks.
Tom
[UPDATE 10/26] While I won’t call this “Solved”, Tablo Support has reviewed the logs and indicated that they believe it’s a correupted DB and that they are confident (not certain), a factory reset will resolve this. See my updated post below.
