Update on 4th Generation Tablo Compatibility with Roku OS 14

As to what? What are you looking to find out?

On the Tablo Legacy there is NO Surround Sound option to turn off. So that doesn’t work. Also, the Tablo Legacy doesn’t work on my iPhone X, it just shows the app for setting up the original Tablo which is already working on my TV. There is no options to watch Tablo on my iPhone X. Anyone know why?

While I suppose, like most folks, I do appreciate Tablo’s informative post, I also find it a little hard to believe that a major firmware upgrade to a flagship streaming device caught Tablo entirely unaware. Instead, I’d have thought that Roku would have let all of their partners know well in advance about the upcoming changes so that partners could update their devices and apps so that customers had a seamless experience. The fact that I have really not experienced other apps/vendors having such issues with Roku’s upgrade makes me wonder if Tablo just chose to ignore any testing against Roku’s new firmware, and just waited for the community to find the issues.

In the end, given the amount of acrimony I read regarding Roku, and the amount of actual issues I see on a regular basis with Tablo (no. I am not going to detail them, many others do that regularly here and are told that ‘rebooting’ everything is the ongoing solution.) I am frankly leaning towards giving up on both platforms, and actively recommending against them to family and friends.

Agree with this completely. There is no way that Roku made a major change like this without notifying their 3rd-party developers. No other app I have on my Rokus have this issue, it’s just Tablo.

I’m glad Tablo is finally working on it, but it should be TOP priority. Tablo, please don’t even think about making small changes to the guide, or tweaking a feature here or there. Just fix this issue, get it through a FULL testing process, and release to the users ASAP.

I have a Tablo Legacy and there is definitely an option to turn Surround Sound on and off. It’s a check box in Settings near the bottom of the General section.

Two out of three of my devices has this issue. None of the tricks work. About to pick up two Onn 4k Streamers, fix is taking to long.
