Just purchased a Tablo OTA TV DVR last week. I have three Roku streaming devices in my home. Two Roku Express and one Roku Steaming Stick 4K. One of the Roku Express still has OS 13.1.4. and works as it should with the Tablo TV, the other two have OS 14.0.4 and do not work. The problem is the Roku's with OS 14.0.4 will not allow viewing of live OTA channels. Trying to view a live OTA program in the channel guide; once selected the Tablo tries to load the channel and then almost immediately goes back to the channel guide. The same occurs when trying to view a previously recorded program in the Tablo library. I am confident the this is a glitch in the OS 14.0.4 upgrade and hope you will work on this ASAP so I can enjoy watching Tablo TV on my other Roku steaming devices. Perhaps you can issue a temporary OS software downgrade back to 13.1.4 allowing time to fully vet OS 14.0.4 with Tablo TV and all the other known app platforms that are used by Roku. Thank you.

Good to know It’s not me!!
Could not figure out why it just stopped working on one set (the one with the express). 4k Works fine.Someone in another Roku forum found the issue was with audio in Roku OS 14.0.4.
Go to Settings->Audio->Digital Output Format->Custom on your Roku.
Change the Dolby Digital selection (I went from Dolby Digital to Dolby Digital Plus with DTS off).
Exit out of Roku Settings, and select Tablo.
I did this on a Roku Ultra (Model 4660X) and was able to watch OTA tv again (with Roku OS 14.04)!I stumbled into a post that suggested the same "solution". Tried it, and it worked for me as well.
Did not work for me. I can see the live stream but now there is no sound. THIS PROBLEM IS NOT SOLVED!!!
I also had no sound after the workaround but fixed that by changing my TV's HDMI audio input format to bitstream from PCM. MY TV is LG.
This worked for me also.
Thank you for posting this!
I’m not sure why Roku could not lead us to this work around.
I was on the phone with Roku support this morning and their final answer was to run a cable from my antenna. What a BS answer. All they have to do is turn it back to 13. Roku just doesn't understand.
