Just realized the author mentioned “recordings” in the topic title. Does this then mean the LPW issue is still plaguing live TV?
I’m asking because I was hit by three consecutive LPWs today on my up-to-date Roku 3 and quad Tablo while watching live TV (5Ghz Wi-Fi, but the Tablo is hard-wired to the router).
Changed setting to 1080-10 yesterday and haven’t had a single Roku playback/live tv hiccup. Real happy with how things are going after moving the Tablo back to the router location and with how well the Roku update is playing out. Seems the stars have aligned making this Tablo a beast yet again.
Somewhere on this forum someone reported a conversation with Roku and said they don’t recommend connecting via a 5Ghz Wi-Fi connection and Roku prefers channels 1, 6 or 11. You might try connecting your Roku via 2.4 Ghz and manually set your Wi-Fi channel to see it makes a difference with your LPW’s on live TV.
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.
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.
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…
And what about those “I’m aheadin out for Tivo cause the wife cain’t take it anymore and the kids are gunnin for me” bunch? “Jest so y’all know, I’ll be back to tell you how much greener the pastures are over there.” Oh BTW aren’t you just a bunch of suckers to stay with this product.
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.
