One of the things is that the updates of these sometimes come in cycles. For example, Cord Cutters News was a great resource for years, then Luke Bouma who launched the Website and service, sold it. For a while, it continued as a good reliable resource, with Philip Palermo doing a great job ... for a while.
I don't know what happened, but around the time he changed jobs (moved from the company that bought CCN to another) Cord Cutters News began to really suffer. Nobody else ever put in the time and effort to keep things up. Luke bought the company back, and has really been focused on getting it back to what it was. But for a while there, things were kinda bad, insofar as it being a source for news for cord cutters.
Tablo had a news section that was updated at least once a week for a while. However, for the last couple of months it has not posted anything. I don't know if the purchase by Scripps had an impact. I think not, because the timing is way off. However, sometimes purchases and changes don't come at the same time.
Whatever the cause, and I am leaning away from Scripps, over the last couple of months, there have been few updates to the news section from Tablo. No Q&A gleaned from Facebook or Twitter, no rewrites/refreshes of stories about their DVRs and functionality, no nothing.
I know that it is difficult to keep up a daily or weekly things. Staffing is probably part of the problem, but for any company, all that really means is that it's not a priority. It should be. I would hate for this to be an indicator that Tablo, from the company perspective, just doesn't care.
My Streaming Life has included Tablo DVRs for some time. I hope my fears are groundless.
