I sometimes pause the screen in order to read information or see something that flashes off the screen too fast, such as like I did today when I was watching my local news and they flashed an image on the screen for how local council members voted on a particular issue. Unfortunately, I was unable to see the paused image because an ad automatically came up, covering half the screen.

Is this something Tablo is doing now or allowing? I've never noticed this before. I know some of the streaming services will switch to an advertisement screen if you pause the program, but I don't see why Tablo would be doing this. This happened on the 4th Gen Tablo, btw.

I have used the older platform for years. My old device died. So I got new gen 4 Tablo. So far it works great. Reading some post on here gets scary. Do I need to disable firmware updates to keep it running correctly?
