Tablo (4th Gen Only) Firmware Release 2.2.48

I remember a number of days ago asking a user if anything bad happened by installing it twice.

Maybe it would cause the earth to be sucked into a black hole and crushed. But it appears we are all still here.

Maybe there has been a tear in the space-time continuum and I just missed it.

Perhaps reverting to the previous version would no longer be possible if it was installed twice?

Do you know how to do that on a gen 4. Or do you have to have support do it for you?

You really didn’t have any issues after the second firmware? Hmmm…

… * glares at his evil white pucks *

IDK. I still think there was some signal loss and more buffering. If @Lenlabnj has a support ticket in and they’ve already waited this long… another day or two won’t hurt. (I never @TabloSupport, but I figured someone @TabloTV started this post, so maybe they’d have kept an eye on it…)

I have been watching football for a lot of today on my Roku with no issues at all. Though tonight I am back on my legacy Tablo because I am at my computer and away from Tvs.

It may be possible that the double FW release only caused me a problem because I did mine within a few hours of each other. It didn’t get to do its overnight voodoo hoodoo magic jumbo wumbo and might’ve been stuck in a state of flux.

IDK why my Tablos did what I consider a double reboot the other day, but they’ve been working a lot better since. It’s still not as smooth as the few hours I had with the first 2.2.48, but I can at least play something while recording now!

(I quit testing the Roku for live TV since I can’t seem to duplicate anyone’s issue, but maybe since the Roku app has fewer features and less things loading at one time, maybe that’s why it was working better those two days?)

I expect support has to do it.

I don’t own a Gen-4 myself, and don’t have any special knowledge beyond what I’ve read while being a member here for over 9 years, like @snowcat.

iPad 11” 2nd gen private listening on Roku 4K stick still not working on OTA channels. Works fine on streaming channels.

Heard back from TABLO support and they want me to remove the TABLO app and reinstall it and let them know if that fixes the problem.

I have to ask them first what the impact is on all of the recordings I have and all of my scheduled recordings. Do I lose anything by doing this including all of my settings from stations I have deleted etc.?

No impact. The app itself just reads the settings from the Tablo. That is why when you get a new Roku, phone, etc and install the app for the first time on it, it is setup already like every other device on your Tablo network.

So go ahead and uninstall/reinstall. It is a useful troubleshooting measure.

The one thing to avoid if at all possible is a factory reset on your Tablo. That will wipe out everything (recordings, schedule, channel list).

Thanks snowcat! Very helpful! I will now do a reinstall of the Tablo app!

Okay I did this and a message came up as soon as I opened the reinstall to update to 2.2.48 and I checked settings and it shows that 2.2.48 is already installed!

The message has choices of : “LATER” “UPDATE” “REFRESH”

I have been selecting “LATER”

There was a teensy tweak that the people who updated right away did not receive. If you’re being asked to update again, it’s totally expected and includes that small tweak. We recommend you process the update.
