Tablo doesnt care to work with Roku express only the roku Ultra

I bought my Tablo hooked it to my Roku Express. All the live channels freeze up I assumed it might be a fluke due to an older Roku so we bought a Roku Ultra. Its works great. Then we decided to by another Roku express to put in another room. All apps are fine except the Tablo app. Again all live channels freeze up. I even tried to watch a recoded item and that picture froze too. Obviously Roku express does not support the Tablo Generation 4

Re: Tablo doesnt care to work with Roku express only the roku Ultra

What's the model number of the Express?  I've used a Tablo with several Roku devices new and old.  The Express devices often suffer from power issues especially if you're using the TV's USB port for power.  If you're not already, try a USB power adapter/charger from a phone or tablet plugged into the wall.

any more on this?  I have three older Rokus working well with Tablo.  Just installed a Roku Express HD and the video on live TV is a fail... delayed if not frozen

Additionally, I Purchased another Tablo device and It has the same problems on the roku express only. [Model 3960RW - 12.5.5 * build 4174-ED / Tab Firmware 2..2.48]

I've done everything from disconnecting and restarting the Tablo app on the Roku express and everything I've tried is a fail. I even plugged the Roku express into an adaptor and still didn't work. I also resetted and disconnected everything with the Roku express and my router and still no change.
