User questions & answers
| Question: | Hello. does it work for wd tv hd media player |
| Answer: | You can connect 4 HDMI and 4 SDI devices at the same time. If you need for example 5 HDMI then you would need a converter (HDMI to SDI) for the 5th device. Audio runs over each channel (4 HDMI and 4 SDI) and you can choose whether the audio switches to the current camera (AVF or Audio Follows Video - on the front panel) or whether it uses a specific camera's audio at all times. You can also input audio via the 2 XLR ports on the rear. |

User questions & answers
| Question: | Is the remote programmable to also operate the monitor (on/off/input) and external audio systems (on/off/volume |
| Answer: | Unfortunately, the two cannot be connected without any additional parts e.g. duct tape or questioning the integrity of the product. |
| Question: | Will the new tivo bolt ota get hulu live |
| Answer: | I don’t think so |
| Question: | Does it support Sling TV streaming service |
| Answer: | Honestly I have not tired. The main purpose was for my patio door but, since you asked I tried to put them on and when I say I tried I sure did try. I was unable to get the white plastic ends off that are use for the patio door. So knowing that I'm going to change my review on this product. There is no way that my wife will be able to take these patio ends off if she was in a serious danger. The quality is good but, I felt like it was a bonus to have both options if needed for the price. |

| Answer: | Yes. That’s what I use it on. Just moved into an apartment and it makes me feel so much safer. |

User questions & answers
| Question: | how do you choose or turn off subtitles with this remote |
| Answer: | I literally got my unit today. I used my 5D Mark III and it only worked when I set my HDMI to "Auto". |
| Question: | Will it work with my incredisonic imp150 media player |
| Answer: | There is nominal delay is you are using SDI or HDMI output. The Web Presenter, however, will introduce a delay, ad the signal has to be reencoded. This may take about 1/3 second. We use a delay for the audio on either our digital mixer or in our production software (Wirecast, in our case). - Tom Held, Oakland Group Livestream, www.OaklandGroupLivestream.com |
| Question: | Does this work on any wdtv unit? how does it sync |
| Answer: | Wirecast is pretty picky on hardware inputs. If you happen to have a computer with thunderbolt 3 (ie. a mac or higher end windows machine), then I would recommend going with the Blackmagic SDI mini recorder over thunderbolt as you will have better results than USB 3.0 hardware due to the quicker transfer speeds. You would have the opportunity to input a 4k signal to the computer once you upgrade to a 4k Switcher. To answer the question directly: to be able to get a video signal into the computer, you would have to have some sort of capture interface. Which one you choose depends on your computer. I chose an AJA UTAP SDI box since that fit my hardware, budget, and was compatible with my software (VMIX). -Adam -- Owner at Exile Studios. |

User questions & answers
| Question: | My network is hardwired. i do not have wifi. will the tablo work without wifi and connected only to a hardwire network |
| Answer: | If your TV is WiFi capable, Tablo should broadcast a WiFi signal of its own, like Tablo_XXXX, when hardwired to your modem. You would need the Tablo App. If your TV is not WiFi, then you may be able to flow it through your TV by connecting the USB from Tablo to the TV. |
| Question: | Will the unit power an external hd, not a usb stick |
| Answer: | Lifetime subscriber using a 1 TB external USB Toshiba drive (self powered, no power cord) for many years without any issues. Would purchase again. |
| Question: | tcl roku 4k tvs, one 1080p with a roku and a samsung 1080p smart tv. i'll need to use wifi 2 attach the tablo. how well will the tablo work |
| Answer: | We have had our Tablo Quad for a couple months now. We also have four TV's hooked up to the internet and we have never had any issues and we have crappy internet. We can record most of our must have shows on the Tablo so we don't have to load up the Roku. We don't pay for the guide and it hasn't been a problem. I would highly recommend it |
| Question: | What are the restrictions if you don't subscribe to the guide service |
| Answer: | My premium trial subscription expired about a month ago so I thought I give the non-subscription Tablo a try. Here are my observations and opinions of the non-subscription after a month of using it. It is usable, especially if you don't do a lot of searches for new material. There is no search facility. There is no automatic time extensions of live events like football games, etc.. So, you have to manually add some estimated time in your manual record setup, very similar to the old VCR days. It does not differentiate between repeat episodes and NEW episodes, so you will sometimes end up with shows you've already seen. You can only look 24 hours into the future in the guide. I ended up using one of the online TV guide sites to see farther into the future for programming the show recordings. I find you pretty much need the online TV guide as a companion app. If you don't particularly enjoy a technical challenge of finding shows and typing in with a remote control, then this option probably is not for you. I'm more of a computer geek and find this option a little intriguing. But, for people who just want an easy, very elegant way of finding and recording shows, the premium subscription is definitely worth the money. I suspect someday I'll tire of this manual stuff and dish out the premium dollars. In the grand scheme of things, the $50 per year or $150 lifetime is a fraction of the cost of paying for cable video. Sticking with the non-subscription flavor is pretty much a case of the old English saying, Penny Wise Pound Foolish. |
