About Record Live

The new Record Live feature allows you to start recording the live TV channel you’re currently watching without returning to the guide.

Users can access the new Record Live button within the In-Player Content Tray, making it easy to start recording a live program without missing a single second.

To access the new button, simply select down ( ↓ ) on the directional pad of your Apple TV remote while you’re playing live TV.

This will allow the In-Player Content Tray to appear. The RECORD button is located to the right of the PLAY/PAUSE button.

Selecting it will tell your Tablo to start a recording of the program you’re currently watching.

When the recording has begun, the button will turn orange. Selecting the button again will end the recording immediately, instead of automatically at the end of the current program.

You can read more about this new feature and how it works on the Tablo Knowledge Base.

Thanks for continuing to move forward developing these latest operational features. They will certainly place your equipment into a strong competitive position against cable tv where the monthly cost is out of reach for many. We’ve had two of your devices for a couple of years now. The newer features may help my wife learn how to use it more easily.
With this latest update the switching back and forth between the two Tablos is now very easy from the Live Guide screen. Maybe my wife can learn how to do that transition as well. :grinning_face:

Agree! The new changes make Tablo much easier to use and much less frustrating.
