Dang, my Roku 4 isn’t showing the new update, and when I try it says up to date with the older 8xxx. My two Roku sticks were able to upgrade and Tablo is smooth is silk on those.
Roku 4 v7.0 Build 8863 is the latest, and came out around the same time Build 9044 came out for other Rokus.
The build numbers are different per Roku device. Yes, that’s very annoying but that’s Roku.
You may have the most up to date firmware for the Roku 4, I am not privy to all the build numbering.
I have a Roku three that when using the Tablo wirelessly at 2.4 or 5 repeatedly had loading please wait, stuttering, falling behind of key presses and reboots. The latest update of the Roku, after using the Tablo for a few days now, has NOT had one issue. Sucks to be Tablo and have the seemingly random acts of another company impact your product so significantly.

Another 5 days in and not a single Tablo issue after Roku 9044!

Tablo viewing has also been rock solid for me on both a Roku 4 and Roku 3 post firmware updates…
I have also noticed how quiet the forums are now that almost no one is complaining about Roku LPW and blaming Tablo for the problem… “oh… it was mostly a Roku issue?” (*then they quietly step away backwards)… haha
I am grateful it is working so well now… and always trusted Tablo peeps were doing their best to solve the issue the whole time…

Exactly, I hate to say “I told you so”, but all those people who put Roku on a pedestal as an example of perfect software incapable of mistakes, and blamed Tablo instead, have been proven wrong and remained silent since the last Roku update.

Same here…stopped counting the days though…seems forever. Very happy for Tablo folks that things worked out the way they have. They did what they were supposed to to get Tablo to work reliably again with the Roku platform. No way they could just sit back and wait for that to happen. Kind of a minimum in my book. Time will tell if they’ll be able to stay ahead of things and way too soon to say the early droppers were smart or not. I’m just glad to be back to watching and appreciative of the work they did to get (most of) us to this point.
Happy New Year Nuvyyo Team and fellow users, looking forward to a great 2016.

My Roku3 is on 9044 and has been really good until lately, but I have seen LPW randomly for the last few weeks. Just tonight, I happened to notice that the wife was using the microwave when the LPW was happening. Could the microwave cause the LPW? My Roku3 is on wifi, but not sure if that matters.
Yes a microwave can interfere with WiFi signals. Are you running your Roku on the 2.4 GHz band for Wireless N?
I microwave will definitely interfere with Wifi using the 2.4GHz range. If you can switch to 5GHz, that will reduce the problem.

Thanks for that information, I did not realize it. Yes, am using the 2.4 wifi. I will switch it over to the 5 wifi. (assuming the Roku can do it).
Hello everyone,
I just purchased a tablo last week and I was just wondering if the new Roku update to 9044 is still working for everyone or if your still experiencing the LPW.
The Roku Build 9044 referenced in these forums is v7.0.0 Build 9044.
Newer Rokus, like the 2 (2015), 3, and 4 are being updated to v7.1.0 Build 4602 already.
Roku v7.0.0 Build 9044 was a good one.
I’ll miss it.
Roku v7.1.0 Build 4602 caused issues with most of my Roku apps, but seems to be working fine with the Tablo app.
Thanks for the reply…My roku is working just fine. I’m just worried if I update my Roku will my other apps begin to buffer or mess up…And if it’s worth it at the expense of one app (Tablo)
I don’t think you have much of a choice without pulling the power to the Roku (or blocking network connections) when you aren’t using it. Rokus auto update…
7.1 is causing issues with my Tablo, my parents and many others… No LPW, but randomly exiting out of video playback, both during Live TV and recordings…
I’m getting frequent LPW watching live TV on the 2016 Roku stick that has 7.1 that I didn’t get on the previous Roku stick with 9044.
Anyone experiencing major stuttering? Watching a show that recorded last night and watching with no preview tiles and also major stuttering… No LPW. It’s strange. If we pause even for one second it starts back up and plays with no issue for a few minutes and then starts again.
Maybe related to the new Roku updates?
