I suspect that the main reason the channel scan is so quick on the Tablo is because it only looks for the channels in its database for your zip code. I am sure it is a design issue, plus it helps make the program guide easier.
How long does that usually take (update with zap2it)? I also put in a
support ticket with zap2it directly (emailed sup...@zap2it.com but if you
have a faster method to update the EPG with them then that is the way to
go.
Given a choice between the 2, I prefer using Marketing Channels, because it reports on every traffic source, not just traffic from (tracked) campaigns. So that presents a more holistic picture of how visitors are discovering the property and converting subsequently. Also, I find that marketers can wrap their heads more easily around last-touch attribution.
This all depends on what retention policies you have in place on Tracking Codes and Marketing Channels, as well as how your Marketing Channels are set to process data (which funnels have priority, what rules are set to not override, etc). When was the last time you reviewed your Marketing Channels... are they still processing properly?
When I am working with my marketing team, I explain how the rules are set up, and I check with them to understand how they would like to see the data... I don't think this is something that we can really tell you... your marketing team should have a say in what data you are providing to them.
And I get it... a lot of the time my marketing team doesn't understand everything around the processing and attribution rules... but you have to do the best you can to explain the options, and let them choose a model that they feel works best (even if they don't understand everything)... once this is chosen, you can stick to that model for consistency.
To avoid confusion, consider discussing the reporting requirements with your stakeholders, and clarify their objectives and needs. This will help you determine whether to present the data by tracking codes or marketing channels or even both, depending on the level of detail they require.
I use a combination of both... Our Marketing Channel have a 1 week attribution.. but I also want to see direct visit attribution (i.e. lack of campaigns). So for us, we use both, and add descriptions for the reports so that people know what we are showing.
I found this thread helpful, so wanted to hear your thoughts when it comes to Paid Search and attributing ROI. We've more recently revisited the processing rules and moved away from Tracking Codes to using Marketing Channels. However, our marketing team has seen a decrease in revenue from Paid as a result since channels with no TC get credit. This can ultimately affect budget. How have you approached this with your teams?
What is your "Marketing Channel Expiry"? I worked with our Marketing Team to ensure a retention period that worked for them... basically, we made all our pixel trackers and our Marketing Channels all work on a 7 Day Attribution.
In my implementation, I have a custom "Tracking Code" Solution that looks at Visit Level... so I actually encourage people to look more at the custom solution over TC codes, so that they can get Week Attribution on Marketing Channel, and if they want to know direct attribution, they use my custom solution.
As Jennifer mentioned, you can modify your attribution windows. Another option might be to look at other attribution methodologies. The attribution panel allows you to compare various methods and better understand the customer journey via channels.
Where I'm located I receive channels from multiple markets. HDHomeRun's software matches virtual channel/tv station name, so their app recognizes all the channels and pulls the guide data correctly. Unfortunately Channels misses several stations. When I go to the "Edit" button under my Quatro on Channels it pops up the Channel list and shows which channels are missing a match. I clicked the "+" symbol at the top where it has DVR-MYZIPCODE and add a second zip code. The wheel turns and now I see two "DVR-XXXXX" listings, but the channels from the second zip code still aren't available for me to pick from. When I close out that window the second zip code goes away again. Repeating the process over and over again still doesn't make the second zip code "stick".
Major networks including ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, and PBS have affiliates in almost every major US city that insert local programming into the network's national feed then broadcast TV signals over-the-air from a centrally located broadcast tower. TV signals travel over the air and can be received several miles away at your home or business with a simple indoor or outdoor TV antenna. The distance between your home and the broadcast tower will ultimately determine whether you will need an indoor or outdoor antenna. Channel Master's easy to use tool on this page was designed to identify channels that are available in your area. Our antenna recommendation engine can also determine and make a recommendation for the outdoor TV antenna that will work best at your location.
Over-the-air programming is free to anyone who can receive the signals with an antenna. There are no catches or gimmicks, local affiliates can broadcast for free because their business model generates revenue from consumer viewership of ads, commercials and sponsorships.
ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, PBS and The CW are available in all major US cities. Various other networks including independent, international and faith based channels are also available but differ by city. You will receive all of the top shows like Dancing With The Stars, Grey's Anatomy, Bull, The OT, Empire, This Is Us, Chicago Fire, The Tonight Show, The Voice, Arrow, The Flash and more. Local News and Live events such as the Olympics, the Oscars and the Super Bowl are also available for free on over the air TV.
All major networks broadcast signals in HD quality. HD channels received over-the-air with an antenna display better picture quality than the same channels received from a typical cable, satellite or streaming provider.
In effect since October of 1996, FCC regulations establish that you have a right to install a video antenna on your property, regardless of whether the property is owned or rented, and it specifically prohibits restrictions from an HOA, landlord or property manager that would: (1) unreasonably delay or prevent installation, maintenance or use; (2) unreasonably increase the cost of installation, maintenance or use; or (3) preclude reception of an acceptable quality signal.

Each channel/app on a Roku is a created by some content creator/owner or some other contractor/company that has an agreement with the content creator. Once the app is running, the developer has broad control over how the UI works. Anything that gets you linked to your account will work, and some channels don't require accounts at all due to differences in their business models.
I don't recall any QR when I connected Prime, but I assume it's just equivalent to giving you a code plus a URL to go to. That, and logging in with an account are just two ways to connect your player device to some account. At least one app I used, gave the option of doing it more than one way, because it really doesn't matter to them. ie: entering an account and password may take more typing and may require more from your memory (especially if you follow the common security advice of using different passwords for all accounts) but it doesn't require you to use a second device.
Clarifying .... This only happens when adding channels. I am still curious why the process of adding channels is different sometime. For example 1) When I added Vudu and Peacock I was asked to login or creating a new account. I logged in, and the respective channel was added to my Roku. 2) When I added PBS and Amazon Prime, I was given a URL and a numeric code; and instructed to go to the URL and add the number that was on the screen - I followed the instruction, and the respective channel was added to my Roku. So I am still curious why the process of adding channels PBS and Amazon is different from adding Vudu and Peacock? All channels appear on my home screen as they should. When I select any channel I am taken to the home screen of the respective channel where I can browse and select content that I am interested in viewing on my TV - this too works as it should, so I am happy except not knowing why when adding channels the "process" is not same for all channels. BTW the QR code I mentioned is an option to typing in the number at the URL - I could read the QR code with my phone if I wanted to. I chose to type in the number.

Surface codes are among the best candidates to ensure the fault tolerance of a quantum computer. In order to avoid the accumulation of errors during a computation, it is crucial to have at our disposal a fast decoding algorithm to quickly identify and correct errors as soon as they occur. We propose a linear-time maximum likelihood decoder for surface codes over the quantum erasure channel. This decoding algorithm for dealing with qubit loss is optimal both in terms of performance and speed.
