What did they tell you were a member of? Did you get a card? Are there meetings? Secret handshake?
the lifetime membership is the guide subscriptions on all tablo devices as well as the other features.
Iâm in that same situation. Just signed up with YouTube tv with unlimited dvr and saved for nine months. Tablo advertisers automatically add record time to live events. Saturday ABC didnât record extra for the game. With 34 seconds left in fourth quarter. The other three games did add. So tablo seems to be hit/miss and just have to hope for the best. Luckily I had YouTube tv as they had all the game on ABC.
Tablo only adds extra recording time IF the scheduled program is listed as âliveâ.
Saturdayâs NFL games was not. Thatâs an ABC problem.
I wonât because you are wanting $20 per unit so now instead of a lifetime subscription that I was never supposed to have to worry about a reccuring charge you would in my case require $40 a year. I see this as a double slap in the face to those that trusted you all as a company at launch and gave you all working capital to keep the lights on and grow. I would have kept it for $20 per account even though I personally think those that trusted you with a lifetime deserve to be treated better because we helped keep the lights on in the beginning. I wonât be nickel and dimed on a per unit cost for a plan that said we could add up to 10 units for free. Poor form Tablo, lost serious respect that you all where not scum like cable companies.

Probably not, but we tend to really watch stuff that either it doesnt work on, or (mostly) PBS type stuff which is not applicable âŚ

I would be more likely to subscribe if the ability to auto play next episodes was there. It would feel more like Netflix.

Their solution requires uploading what you recorded, so not much difference there.
Not for me. About 50% recordings succeed and about 50% of those are what I would call acceptable and zero % without some error.

So whatâs next? Is Tablo going to tell us lifetime guide subscribers that âbecause it costs more than you thought for guide serviceâ that weâll end up paying extra per year/month for guide service anyway?

As if they couldnât end the life of the current guide system? Itâs lifetime ended. Theyâve modified enough to call it ânew and improvedâ!
The subscription is presumably for the lifetime of the service.
As the TV Guide price structure correctly infers, some people like paying by the month, some by the year and some prefer a lump-sum one-time fee that frees them from any future costs. I know weâre only talking about $1.65 or so a month for a lifetime subscriber, but thatâs not how us lifetime peeps like to roll. So please consider coming up with a one-time price to accomodate your lifetime subscribers.

Lifetime price = $20 * infinity = all your money

Hmm, maybe an algo to check monthly success percentage and a prorated refund on the failures. I know I could make some coin from the stuff I record

For those of you complaining about the success rate (a legit concern), do realize that the number of shows being processed will go way down because this will be a paid service. With fewer shows being processed at the same time, the success rate should be much better.
NoâŚ
I wonât be subscribing either since the preview thumbnails make fast forwarding through commercials pretty easy in my opinion.
Having said that, I donât understand the pushback on there being a small cost associated with it going forward. Itâs an entirely optional add-on with an existing alternative (see my preview thumbnails comment above) and it takes a entirely separate and new set of resources (i.e. the thumbnail generation happens on device, commercial skip processing does not) that have an ongoing cost determined directly by how many people are taking advantage of the commercial skip service.
I never intended to pay additional for it so I appreciate since I have chosen not to take advantage of this particular service that Iâm not being asked to shoulder the financial responsibility for it.

I never turned it on so I guess my answer is no. Donât mind FFâing through commercials. Also from reading the previous comments the general opinion is pretty much negative on paying for CS. Those responses should tell Tablo that itâs not ready yet.
