Some folks in Tablo’s community have postulated that the tuner having issues decoding the signals could be the cause of the lockups. Since network activity and recordings stop at about the same time, I’m pretty sure it’s a problem with firmware or OS of the Tablo. The network lights are always flickering as the card senses traffic from the network. When it locks up the front LED is off more often than it on. When it locks up, the case of the Tablo is not overly warm. The temperature varies between 53F and 65F over the course of months. The Tablo is mounted such that it has free airflow on all 6 sides. That helped with the correlation between lockup time and lease expiration. For a long time, it was almost always recording. I’m recording lots of old series and binge watching them in order when I have the series from the beginning. Restarting the router does not kick the Tablo back into working. I’ve systematically tried every variation to try to identify a potentially bad part on the network. The Tablo is connected to the network via ethernet to the in-rack router or switch. Sometimes, I return from a trip and it’s been three days since the lease was last renewed. Sometimes I catch it within a couple of hours of locking up. When it locks up, the last lease has expired within 30 minutes after the the recordings seem to have stopped. I can see the last time the Tablo requested an IP lease. I its the same type of router I use for the ISP. The Tablo is assigned .107 via DHCP on my router. We serve Internet to customers via wholesale DSL, our own fiber optics, and, primarily, fixed wireless (100+ towers worth). I’m the network and server admin for a local Internet Service Provider. This results in visual artifacts and skips in the audio. The “ish” with works is because all of my channels have 5 green balls and it seems that the recording misses parts of frames quite regularly. Or running to the “server” rack in the basement to power cycle it every 2 to 14 days when it locks up. Sometimes it annoys me enough to want to take the thing outside and beat it with a sledgehammer.įor the past 4 months, I’ve settled into enjoying when it works, ish. It would require more investment of my time than television is worth. I’ve given up trying to work with support on my Tablo issues. I have direct line of sight to the broadcast towers with a smallish yagi, RCA ANT751R. I’ve been told that it’s everything from bad USB cable to poor signal quality. I don’t have a lot of time to deal with helping Tablo figure out what’s wrong. Your problem descriptions sound a lot like my issues.
