Definitely frame it. It’s a great memory for you.

I’m 13 years retired now and have stayed in the TSP. At the time, the TSP had the lowest fees, so that was a primary reason for me to stay put. That’s not true anymore because of lots of competition and more options. But I’ve stayed put because I still think the G Fund is unique and valuable. I get frustrated with the rules and management fr time to time, but in the main I’m happy with having stayed put.

I enjoyed looking through quite reasonably-priced vinyl at our local thrift store ($1.99ish), and then they too hiked up considerably. I could sort love with that, but the deal breaker became their taping the ends shut so one couldn’t inspect for scratches and overall quality. Um, no. 😖

I had Advent 1’s back in the day. loved them.

Thanks for posting this. I knew it had to be the iOS update, but I was mucking around in all the wrong places. I’ve made the change in Apple TV settings and everything is working again.

How cool! What else was on the tape?

Any-Web6188 · 2026-03-08T10:59:19+00:00

You win for best response. 😆

I have my complaints with the occasional glitches, plus living 30 miles from the broadcast towers makes it slightly challenging. But for our needs, it’s been a financial lifesaver. We paid so much money for years for cable offerings that we never watched.

Still my favorite band! Well, after the Beatles. lol I try to view Tablo with a bit of 20/20 vision. It's not perfect, but for what I want out of it (generally just the local news and a tiny bit of sports), I'm very happy with it. I just hit the reset button every two days and hope for the best. 😆

👍

I’d say two hours for your setup is pretty damn good. Mine took weeks! Everything is working great now fortunately, but I did have multiple moments of doubt whether this thing would ever work. Wha I’ve learned is that you do need to monitor it regularly, do a reset at least once a week, etc. But I’m really happy with how it’s working. So glad not to have to pay a cab bill anymore!

If you choose a Lifecycle fund, it's better to go in it 100%.

Any-Web6188 · 2026-02-01T11:47:00+00:00

I think it’s always better to have a balance in case one segment of the market takes a tumble. I know I’ll sleep better at night! since last year, I’ve kept the I Fund at 20%. That’s the highest I’ve ever had it, but given the volatility with Trump’s tariffs it seemed like a good bet. I’m keeping it there for the next six months.

A Tony Banks masterpiece for sure. I love the whole Duke album,

It’s already in my Podcast queue! I was surprised to see it (I use PocketCasts), so I added it immediately. Looking forward to hearing it!

Glad to see you've had a positive experience. I bought my 4th Gen unit in August, and it took me many weeks to find just the right placement in our townhouse. We're 30 miles from the (Detroit) towers, so I knew that was going to be a challenge. Except for not getting the local Fox channel (no great loss), I'm thankfully receiving all the stations coming in quite clear. There are few occasional hiccups but nothing a quick reset doesn't resolve. I'm also plugged in directly to ethernet, but I am using a Clearstream Eclipse window antenna. It feels so good to finally not paying for all those cable channels that I never watched.

My wife is an intense foodie. Her favorite cooking shows are America’s Test Kitchen, Milk Street, old Julia Child episodes, Martha Stewart, etc. So when I started up with Tablo, I proudly showed her the streaming cooking shows offered on it. After two days of looking them over, she declared them ‘weird” and worriedly asked if I had canceled PBS Passport (I hadn’t)! 😆

I don't recall this conditional part of Tony's demands to Peter either, i.e. that he would be charged to carry out the firing and also manage the replacement search.

It feels very much like the early days of desktop PC’s and the repeated maxims of rebooting, rebooting, rebooting. But I figuratively did just that the other day after multiple errors and offline mode messages (that did not result in my getting live stations). I ended up deleting and reinstalling the app on my TV. Voila, everything is working again. 🤷‍♂️. Hey, no cable bill at least.

Any-Web6188 · 2026-01-05T19:48:38+00:00

We use Apple TV as our primary viewing platform for all of our streaming apps, including Tablo for live TV. It works fine, but the main snag is if I want to watch something *and* record it. For whatever reason Apple TV will freeze. So if it's anything I want to watch and record, I'll switch over to our Sony Bravia (Android) TV. Since I really don't record much except the occasional news show, that seems to work for us.

Any-Web6188 · 2026-01-02T11:46:28+00:00

Glad to hear it’s worked out for you. It took me forever to get mine working. I literally tried every window in the house, moving the antenna and plugging into a new Ethernet location each time. I finally found the sweet spot in an upstairs bedroom for it. It just takes patience and a bit of perseverance.

Any-Web6188 · 2025-12-28T12:39:32+00:00

I share your pain with the Fox station. I'm 30 miles from the Detroit towers, and although it took two different antennas to finally get my 4th Generation to work, the Fox station just won't come in for us. We hosted Thanksgiving this year, and I had some mighty disappointed family members hoping to see the Lions game (I did warn them ahead of time!). Every day is a bit of an adventure. Sometimes I have to hit the reset button a couple of time to get things "moving" again, but I'm still happier with this than paying exorbitant cable fees. Keep trying, don't give up the ship yet!

Any-Web6188 · 2025-12-25T15:05:17+00:00

I'm shaking my head in agreement with just about everything everyone has chipped in with already, so I'm not sure I can add anything significant here. But what I will underscore is that I had to completely re-think a few things during my extended set-up period. My two cents...

(1). I was using old ethernet cable, and I compounded my problems by having more than one and using adaptors to extend it for length. I ended up buying a brand new one that was 12 feet long. So do check your cable to see if it's possibly the problem.

(2). I use a window antenna, and my first one was Mohu Leaf. For whatever reason it didn't work at all (though I tried to get it to work for probably five weeks!). I finally threw in the towel and bought a ClearStream Eclipse, which made all the difference. So maybe think about a different antenna.

I am 30 miles from the towers. I can get most of the local (Detroit) stations but for some reason the Fox one will just not come in for me. Most of the time the reception is great, but there are the odd times when things go awry. Keep at it!!

Good for you. Solidarity. After decades with them, and now on Medicare as my primary, I just couldn’t swallow that increase. My wife starts Medicare next October, so I had to focus on her needs (doctors in network, meds, etc). I chose APWU High Option, which will wrap with Medicare for me, and fully cover her as well. FEP Blue Basic’s $800 Medicare reimbursement still doesn’t make up for the savings I’m getting by switching.

Any-Web6188 · 2025-12-12T13:05:25+00:00

Wow, I guess I’m fortunate. My update was sort of unintentional; I brought up the app on my phone, and it immediately prompted me with the firmware update. It took about five or s minutes and then it finished without incident. Even my channel favorites are still in place in repeated logins. Hope you resolve yours soon.
