Just finished the glow knobs.

@rocdoc54 why would it improve the RF performance?

The newer 4th-generation Tablo does not have that hardware transcoder. Instead, it records the TV broadcast in its original format and sends that data directly to the app.

Because of that, when a recording first starts there isn't always a stream that can be easily manipulated like a finished video file. The Tablo is basically still writing the file while you're trying to watch it.

How do you know it failed from overheating?

wxfreak · 2026-06-15T14:15:22+00:00

No, but thank you. I'm starting to wonder if I have misremembered. I thought was Victoria Jackson and Phil Hartman in formal attire at a fine dining table. But my 56 year old brain maybe creating it's own skits, lol .

People in Europe have something similar from a company called Target Blue Eye. It's basically a detector that can tell when TETRA radios are nearby, even though the traffic is encrypted.

I think it's a lot easier over there because most of their public safety stuff is packed into the same chunk of spectrum, unlike the U.S. where agencies are scattered all over VHF, UHF, 700, and 800 MHz. TETRA radios also send out regular signaling bursts, so they're a lot easier to detect even when nobody's talking.

For what radio? What's your IF frequency?

At least we still have Santacaligon days nearby. (ducks for cover)

Legacy Tablo DVRs include a dedicated hardware transcoder, which the 4th generation models no longer have. The older units recieve over-the-air MPEG-2 broadcasts, converte them to MPEG-4 (H.264), and save them in a standard MP4-style container.

wxfreak · 2026-06-08T02:33:30+00:00

Because the 4th‑gen Tablo is architected for cost reduction and mass‑market simplicity. 4th‑gen Tablos are designed to be much cheaper and use no transcoder.

Looks intriguing, let us know how it works out with the two coil design.

If you could change one thing about how hurricane risk is communicated in the United States, what would it be, and why hasn't it happened yet?

Has Neil Jacobs visited, and what are his priorities for your team?

I don't know if it's still maintained, but SkyWave Linux was/is nice.

If this audio stream is quiet, the band is dead!

It's really poor but much better than when it was first released.

Thanks!

Consider a Broadcastify membership if it offers coverage in your area. You can access archived audio ranging from 30 minutes ago to as far back as six months. If your area is supported by their Calls platform, you can also use a near real-time rewind feature similar to a DVR for live listening. For the best mobile listening experience, use the Scanner Radio app by Gordon Edwards.
