4th Gen Tablo app installed but not showing up on my home screen

I just installed a 4th Gen Tablo on my TCL Roku TV. TV and Tablo both hooked up through ethernet to router. I have two more TVs....one is a Roku Express and one is a Roku Express 4K, both are set up to connect via wifi.

On the Roku TV, I can see the Tablo app on the home screen. on the two wifi TVs, I cannot see Tablo on the home screen and when I go to channel store to search for it, it does show as installed. I click on it and MOST of the time it will open and work. When I go back to the Home Screen, it is still missing.

I have restarted Modem/router, Tablo, and Rokus and nothing has worked. any suggestions?

      I have already done that more than once. That did not fix it.

      How can I remove the app if it doesn’t appear in the Roku Home Screen?

        Here are the instructions that worked on my Roku but also included the link to the page with the instructions:

        https://community.roku.com/t5/Channels-viewing/YouTube-app-not-on-homescreen/m-p/1045683#M184193

        VIA ROKU "CHANNEL INFO" SECRET SCREEN"
        [Caveat: "Secret Screens" are not officially supported by Roku, may not work on all models, and may be withrawn without notice.]  
         
        CAUTION some of the items listed on the resulting Channel Info screen are required for Roku operation.  Be sure you ONLY remove installed channel apps.
         
        •  Access the CHANNEL INFO screen using the remote:  Home (5x), Up (2x), L, R, L, R, L  
         
        •  Scroll down the channel app list to find the channel you want to remove   
         
        •  Select, then Remove Channel, then Home
         
         •  Restart:  Settings/System/Power <if present otherwise skip>/System restart
