Tablo Connect to Roku

Have you tried using the Tablo PREVIEW app? It’s available for Android TV and it uses the same back-end communication method as ROKU.

We have addressed this a bunch of times, but in general it the delay has come down to a few different things…

1 - The back-end communication method that Roku uses doesn’t actually support the way Tablo Connect works right now.
2 - Which means it needs to be redesigned and implemented in a brand new way.
3 - And as we work towards that, we want to take the opportunity to make it better, easier, and more impervious to the things that can cause it to fail.
4 - But… there are a thousand other feature requests that we need to weigh against this, that could be enjoyed by a wider population… like commercial skip.

If time, money, and engineering resources were infinite, it would have been done a few years ago. But alas, they are not.

So for the meantime, we’re stuck with the current paradigm.
