I really need this feature added to support remote streaming on Roku. I have Roku tvs and I cannot reinvest in android boxes because it would change the interface for all of my devices. In looking on the forums a lot of users feel very strongly about this as well. I wanted to Join the Tablo Family because of the CES release on your new device. I will not do it if this feature is not available.
I use my phone and Ipad for remote streaming on vacation more portable and at home we have Roku Tv , Apple TV , Amazon TV they all use the same network, interface are almost all the same.
When you compare Ipad and phone to an actual TV why would a family accept an inferior solution. Should multiple people crowd are an Ipad all trying to watch?
The gen 2 FireTV stick has remote connect. Maybe after 4-5 years Santa Claus, Tooth Fary, and/or the Easter Bunny will bring remote connect to Roku.
Can you explain why? Your Roku TVs will presumably be on your home network, so unless you are travelling with them, you don’t need remote access to them. What is your use case where you are unwilling to invest $20-40 in a FireTv stick for travel use?
It would be nice if my Android app didn’t have to run a sync each day I open it. And if it’s been a while since I’ve opened it, this can take quite a while. It’s much faster on Roku with the different API, and I’d take a Roku stick traveling if I could. Does the sync process run on iOS too?
The gen 2 1080p Fire TV stick using WiFi 5g. Of course I used it mostly for the hdhomerun app. I didn’t care for either fire tv tablo apps when compared to the Roku app. Now that the wife has fired up Plex on the shield the standalone hdhomerun is gone.
And that’s just because I ran out of room in my efficiency apartment! There’s a bigger place across the street, but it’s a pain to untarp the Bugatti for the trip.
Actually I’m one of about 8 Million Americans own RV’s These days, the typical RV owner is age 49, married, owns a home and has an annual household income of $68,000. Not to crazy.
They have responded in multiple threads when this has been asked for, they say the Roku will eventually get Tablo Connect. But have provided no timeline, and I wouldn’t expect that to change.
You could always get an Amazon Recast instead of a Tablo that has no support for any Roku devices (sarcasm). Plex DVR would be an actual alternative if Roku remote viewing is that important.
Since the Roku remote connect feature has been talked about for around 4 1/2 years, maybe current and potential users can infer how feature requests get prioritized for implementation.
Of course doesn’t the airtv black box use the same xcode processor as the dual lite?
