Tablo during an internet outage

Someone asked if the AndroidTV will work during an internet outage.

Comcast went down last night. The ShieldTV could not even discover the tablotv’s. Both the ShieldTV and the Tablo’s have static IP addresses and are connected by ethernet. I am pretty sure when I first tested the ShieldTV and Tablotv it worked with the cable modem turned off. But that was several years and many firmware updates ago.

The Roku worked fine.

Local pihole dns server with a hosts file for local devices so dns will work locally, router has the same hosts file. Local NTP server, (pi with GPS hat). Roku, ShieldTV and Tablotv’s are on the same ip subnet.
