No updates at this time, though we hope to revisit the Smart TV apps soon. Stay tuned.
I assume still no progress on this?? I’m a new Tablo user and the lack of live TV pause/ff/rw on my 2018 Samsung TV is the largest issue. My workaround is to set a recording for what I’m interested in watching, even if I’m able to watch it live. However, that presents another issue/bug. If you start playback of a recording in-progress it will only continue up to the end time of the recording at that exact point you started playback. Then you hit a fake “end” and have to back out and restart playback to get access to more of the recording - and repeat every X minutes. To watch a football game I have to wait a bit to allow some buffering at start, and basically interrupt and restart the playback 10 times during the game. It’s incredibly frustrating and very non-DVR like. It is very odd to basically not allow you to seamlessly be recording a show and playing it back fluidly at the same time (recording extends while watching). It wouldn’t be such an issue if live pause/ff/rw worked - but then we’re back to the first problem. In general the Tablo works mostly as promised and is a nice option, but these drawbacks severely limit the livability and usefulness of it. At this point it still seems like a prototype/beta product and I have a hard time really recommending it to friends.
Please tackle these 2 issues and I’d be happy to give Tablo an A+.
I am reading this with my jaw wide open realizing that I’ve been duped. Why can’t I do “DVR things” with live TV on my Samsung? Of all the features needed with a DVR, why is this a low priority to fix? Between hard drives, antennas, and subscriptions, I just spent $350 and the features I use the most is not there.
I said it to Direct TV last week when I dropped them. I’ll say it to you too. You guys suck. Fix it.
I fully agree! I was very surprised by this as well. I am still enjoying having my Tablo. I really like the ability to have it save only a certain number of episodes. This is really useful for daily news. However, the inability to pause and skip back is why I am still using my DVR+ for watching live television.
