Resolved (I think)!
Folks, my issues seem to have gone away after a hard drive change out. I tested the Seagate drive I had and it failed the full tests with the Seatools utility. I also moved the config back to the original site and set-up and it seems to be recording without issue.
Thanks to all who responded and gave me good ideas to try. Thanks to @bbaorbb for the HDD tip.
Also, thanks to Tablo support for their help although I do agree with another person who said they seem to error on the side of software or reception as the issue.
In summary, if you are having issues with short recordings or pixelization during the recording try these tips-
- Try rescanning to see if reception is the issue.
- Try a new hard drive.
- Try a new power supply.
- Make sure the Tablo is as cool as possible (I have mine elevated on two foam runners for air flow underneath.
- Contact Tablo support as they can access the unit remotely and look for issues in the log files.
Thanks again to Tablo Nation!
