Source for Legacy remote--not in Tablo store

Support & Troubleshooting
1

Looked at the Tablo store and remotes are no longer listed/available. Is cloning via a 3rd party learning remote the only remaining option?

@TabloTV
I hate it when accessories are silently removed from existence.

If you guys are gonna discontinue something, fine.
Prominently publish that fact, so we can buy spares before you run out of stock.

Just be careful believing what you read on the internet (it’s worth what you pay for it)! For example, the Amazon FireStick remotes don’t work well with the Onn boxes. Yes, the basic functions kinda work (there some serious lag and the remotes keep disconnecting and have to be re-paired). Can’t speak to the others in the above article but I suspect they would be the same until someone does a thorough evaluation of them.

What remote are you looking for (for what device?) Have you tried Amazon or Ebay for genuine remotes?

Oh, and I use the Amazon remote on my Shield Pro (I hate the nVidia remote) and it works just fine! No idea why it works on the Shield and not the Onn?!

I tried using the learning function on a Harmony 650 a few years back to clone the Tablo remote without any luck. (2 tuner HDMI connected Legacy)

Also tried to get the then Tablo and Harmony tech folks to talk so the Tablo codes could be added to the existing code set. That went no where.

Wanted to see if anyone else had figured out a current day alternative. Maybe codes for other A/V equipment that work, or maybe someone that’s actually successfully cloned the Tablo remote and can give a specific–current day–hardware (remote) recommendation. Lots of IR learning remotes advertised out there—but will they actually work?

If you get a JP1-based remote and a cable, you can add it if you don’t have an existing remote to learn from.

The OP is requesting a workaround for cloning the TABLO remote, not a streaming device remote. Some of the HDMI-connected Tablos had remotes.

@Trigger - maybe just call support to see if they have any? Or maybe they can point you in the right direction for how to clone theirs or what type of 3rd party remote would work best for cloning theirs.
