Solving playback issues

[Allen220]

Making me crazy. Tablo has latest firmware. When scanning for channels the ones I want to watch are all green. Modems and routers all updated to latest firmware. Signal strength is excellent. 

I go to watch the evening news at 10pm and I either get retry, connects and freezes and kicks me back to the Roku home page, or it plays for a couple of minutes, locks up, and back to the Roku home screen.

This only happens with the Tablo app which is up to date and been deleted and reinstalled. 

I put it on the same channel at 9 in the morning on 2 TV's and they have been working for 2 hours with no problems. I understand that there's more internet traffic in the evening but why does it only affect the Tablo app? I have 7 Roku's between the house and garage and it's the same on all.

Thats why I think it's in the TV APP.

I can use my phone app (Samsung Galaxy s21) at night and it plays fine with no freezing or breaking up.

I am also having TABLO issues.    I have 5 Rokus, four of them work fine with Tablo, the fifth Roku will not play over the air stations on Tablo.   When I select the station it simply goes back to the Tablo menu.    The problem appears to be the Roku software update 14.0.    The four operating Rokus have software OS 13.1.4 build 1510-6 and these units work fine.    The Roku stick with 14.0 will not allow me to view local stations on Tablo.   I switched tvs and the problem follows the Roku with 14.0 OS.    I am working with Tablo on this issue, but it appears to be a Roku problem.    Please look into this.

Tablo is better positioned to figure out what the problem is.  If there's something in their app that isn't compatible with v14.0, they will have to fix it unless it's something that affects all apps.  I have a Table 4th generation, but I haven't received the 14.0 update yet.  It sounds like I may not want it.  All too often one of Roku's updates has affected one of my apps and they couldn't care less.

Thank-you Jahara, I for one have found a very simple solution.   I have retired two of my three Roku devices and replaced them with a Firestick 4K and a 4k Max.  They work wonderfully with my Tablo 4th gen.
