The Tablo Gen 4 is completely different interface and not compatible with Legacy Tablo devices. I doubt that it would function with Channels unless/until support comes out for that Tablo. The nice thing about the Gen 4 is that it includes Scripps channels as FAST channels on the device.

No. The Gen 4 is not compatible. See if you can find a Legacy network attached quad Tablo to use.

Tablo is not an officially supported tuner, itâs experimental. It is not listed in our site as supported. This means anything newer wonât necessarily work.
Factor this into your buying decision.
If youâre investing in a new tuner for Channels, you should get one that is officially supported, an HDHomeRun.

Which HDHomeRun devices are supported? The ones listed on the Channels website are not available in my market. There is no Connect Duo or HomeRun Prime on Amazon.
All of them
I had my Tablo quad hooked up and working and somehow it lost connection and channels no longer finds it on the network. I know Tablo is working and on the network as I can watch through the Tablo app. Did something change with compatibility? I had planned on switching over to channels permanently and was happy I didnât have to buy a new tuner.

Unfortunately, tuner support isn't official
I was reading a few days ago that Tablo locked down their API.
Ugh, thanks for the info. What a bummer.

So she officially the old TABLO device (gen 3?) will no longer work with channels. Due to a change in the TABLO os?
Anyone been successful in getting the Tablo (gen 3) to work again. I'm assuming I'm victim of the OS upgrade, b/c mine is no longer working. Shows the device... but no channels..

Tablo support has been discontinued. It was unreliable and never officially supported.
There may be third party projects out there that let you make it look like an HDHomeRun to other systems.
This could work, but youâll have potential issues with those as well. But it could be a path for you to use your Tablo with Channels, but our support has ended.

The devs of Tablo has decided that their device should be a walled garden so yeah...the Channels devs' hands are tied due to that. I'd recommend getting a HDHR instead if you want to use Channels for OTA TV as that'll always be supported
do you have the links for the 3rd party developers

Tablo tuner beta support has been completely discontinued and they are not supported. Closing this thread to make this clear.
