UPDATE:
Want to thank all of you for your time and help with my issue. For reason’s I can’t explain, over the last 24 hours Tablo is now working as it should. Here is what I did that may have lead up to the “fix”.
- Instead of ethernet connection for Samsung TV and Tablo, I switched both to WIFI connections.
- As suggested by @DaWeav, I did change the channel line up by adding and removing channels and then going back to my original channels.
Strangely enough, during this process I also installed a ROKU 4k stick to my Samsung Smart TV. On the ROKU stick Tablo worked great. I did however, go back to using the Samsung platform (to keep it simple with the remotes) and now working as it should.
I sincerely thank this forum and group of people who have taken the time to help me. I can only hope my experience will help someone else down the road. 
A word to Tablo Tech Support… this is what good tech support looks like.
