I setup a tvheadend server a month ago and it’s been running well. I stopped using the Plex DVR a few months ago because it was a hot mess back then and it looks like it’s only gotten worse. Since you’re a Plex Pass holder, I would suggest you visit the Plex forums and take a look at their DVR/Live TV forum ( ). It’s functional, my family can understand it, etc. As the author of SurLaTablo, I have a OS agnostic easy way of extracting and manipulating data from the Tablo (with the end target being a Plex server). It allows me to watch TV even where there is no antenna connection, including Live TV from remove locations over bad “cell phone” data connections. With that said, as far as I can tell, Tivo, probably gives you the “best” experience with regards to features and ease (apart from the distributed streaming aspects of the Tablo).įor me, the Tablo DVR has been very stable. So if the majority of the above is true, you may be a better candidate for an alternative. You are very dissatisfied with Tablo as a DVR.You don’t use a multitude of frontends to watch TV.You don’t ever stream across low-bandwidth lines.You don’t watch Live TV from remote locations.You don’t watch from multiple TVs (especially where there is no antenna connection).Maybe all or most of these are true for you:

IMHO, if you primarily watch just from one TV, then having one of the many alternatives might make better sense. Can I get that in a Home Run/Plex Live TV/DVR solution or not? Thanks for any assistance and if you feel I should stick with Tablo, please let me know why? Will Tablo every interface with Plex’s Live TV/DVR? Is that in the plans? One of the things I do like about Tablo is that there is no need for an HDMI cable direct to my TV. Fellow Tablo users, and Tablo for that matter, why might I consider remaining a Tablo user instead of making the change? I use Plex often and frankly, I prefer the interface over Tablo anyway.

I see that Plex Live TV/DVR works with the HD Home Run products and I’m considering going in that direction. I’d love to use by Tablo with Plex and once upon a time I tried the Tablo channel on Plex but it still didn’t fit the bill. I like my Tablo but I’ve not always been a big fan of the UI. Hi, I am currently a 4 tuner Tablo user and have been for a few years now.
