LakeGator, here is how you would be able to do this by having it all saved NOW. The thread and post are from right in here and it gets good feedback from those using it. Circa Feb - ish
Although this general thread was mentioned above by wysiwggin and others, I wanted to make sure and point out that it has been edited about 17 days ago by the OP – so that LEGACY USERS with the current firmware can use this and it works nicely (I have no first hand knowledge only what the reports right here in this forum state).
So simply grab the files you need and when the time comes for your new Win sys just install and you are good to go. Simple stuff.
Thanks for the good tips and suggestions. I was not aware of Tablo Player and have installed it. It does what the title says - it plays recordings and also allows seeing what channels are known.
Using this nice app would allow me to trim recordings we don’t want to watch (from recording old TV series and skipping the recordings that are not of interest). That is only one thing I use the existing - soon to disappear - app. This app has 8 features compared to the 2 provided by Table Player. I use many of these. One of the ones I use frequently is to schedule Movies to record. I use 5 of the 8 features on the dying app with some regularity. I almost never play a recording on my PC. That is what televisions are for.
Here is a screen shot of the top-level menu from the current Windows app:
@TabloTV@TabloSupport Really hope the issues with the “Upcoming network premieres” row on the 4th gen app are resolved by the time of the upcoming fall premieres as it looks like all that it displays still is just things on the current day, not the next 14 days like in the legacy apps.
That’s the singular reason I still use the legacy app on my TVs. I do everything else in the 4th gen app with no issues really.
On my 2nd older version of tablo hardware. Have the legacy app on a soon to be removed FireStick because of Amazon removing features I PAID FOR.
So now trying to get the new Tablo App installed on an ONN device but no matter what I do, I cannot get the phone app to work because I can never get the authorization code or magic handshake from Tablo.
So now I’m left with a Firestick which is loosing what I paid for and a Tablo I cannot get to login.
I cannot get past the New User Account Verification screen on my phone. I’ve checked my Junk Mail and nothing is there. It was my understanding that my old account could not be used for this app and I found that out as I originally tried to log in and it rejected my PW.
Searching on the web told me that the old account could not be used.
Oh, I see. I read online that the same credentials can be reused, but the 2 systems (Legacy and Gen4) aren’t related or associated - you would still need to set up a new account using the existing credentials.
You may need to contact Tablo support to get you through the setup process.
Yeah I was working off that page. The app loaded into the phone without issues and it steps you through entering your e-mail and then password then confirm password then you get to the screen were it wants you to enter a verification code, but no matter what I’ve tried I have not got a single e-mail from Tablo and again I’ve checked the junk mail for my e-mail account.
Make sure you’re trying to create a new account, even if you want to reuse your original account username and password. Oh, if I remember correctly - @TabloTV may have mentioned issues in the past with their email system not sending out automated verification codes.
Got the verification code this morning and everything worked fine from that point. I just assumed there might have been a flood of requests for the final day. Anyway Thank you
Roku partner support manages adding/removing the apps from their store.
Unfortunately, it seems they went beyond just de-listing the legacy app. We are working with them now to resolve it, if possible.
UPDATE - 6:00 PM ET - Roku partner success has reinstated the legacy Tablo app. It may take 24 hours to return to the Roku App Store. Once it does, those who no longer have the app will be able to download it again.

My Roku automatically uninstalled my legacy Tablo App today. So what you’ve said about me continuing to use the legacy app is absolutely false. I watched television this morning on the app, and this afternoon it’s gone. I have to say, I’m more than a little bit angry right now. Mostly that you falsely led me to believe there would be no changes.
Hi TabloTV! I just wanted to drop you a note to say thank you, Roku has put the legacy app back in their download. You reported it to them at 6pm, and I was able to download it before 7pm. Just as a tip for anyone who has this problem, you’ll need to delete the old Tablo app from your Roku before adding it back. If you don’t delete it first it will simply try to launch the old one and it continues to give the “no longer available” error. Thank you again for your quick remedy to the problem. You folks are awesome and quick. Have a great week.
