Hi,
Just hooked up my new 4-tuner…so far it’s awesome.
It however is prompting me to update it’s software - which I’ve said “later” so far. I typically don’t update immediately until it’s been out in the wild for some time - for any software.
So I’m curious - should I go ahead and update or not…below is a a link to what I believe is the relevant parts of the settings screen to show you what software version I’m on.
I know off topic, but when I’m accessing the tablo via my.tablotv.com and I view the guide - I went to pick something to record in the next 30 min - it seems like it did everything it’s supposed to (pop-up for recurring or one time, etc.) but then when I go back into scheduled nothing is there…?
Also I have a 3tb drive connected that it said it needed to format - could it be that it’s still formatting so it’ can’t record? I first hooked it up about 3 hours ago - live tv works.
A TCL Roku tv is one device…but mostly I’ve been struggling with the recordings (not recording) via the website using chrome.
On the TCL/Roku the “Guide” page is not usable - says I need a subscription - but I thought you got 30 days free when you first set it up?? Granted it never asked me to activate the device in anyway so I assume this is somehow automatic?
I have 4 Roku streaming sticks (a mix of 3400X & 3500X), a Nexus Player, and periodically play on the Chrome web browser (Windows 10) and my android phone. I bought the Nexus player when they were having problems with Roku devices, but the Roku has been very solid since the last Roku software update to V7.0 Build 9044.
I think video quality is a little better on the Roku vs. the Nexus Player, so when Roku became stable again, I switched back.
I am not sure the out of the box version of the Tablo software supports drives greater than 2 GB. So you should update your Tablo for at least that reason.
Without a working hard drive, you can only use one tuner and can only watch live tv (no recordings).
Currently Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge have a problem since the latest Android update, but Tablo is working on it. It used to work great there and still works great on Roku, a Nexus Player, Nexus Tablet 9, Fire Tablet.
