I love that it just works and I don’t have to mess with it.

Tablo via Roku is still my number one for viewing Live TV and DVR stuff that I’m going to delete. It has become my primary DVR for stuff I want to record and keep. Support and feature set was/is much better than Plex as well. Only uses HDHomeRun’s but wow how it uses them. I eventually gave up and tried Channels DVR. I eventually split Plex DVR off onto a server of it’s own to try and make the experience better. I had a Tablo before I tried Plex DVR (Live TV wasn’t a thing with Plex then). Winner: There are too many variables depending on your setup but for me moving forward, Tablo will cost me $20/year for Commercial skip and Plex will only cost me whatever hardware improvements I may make such as an ATSC 3.0 tuner.Įarly personal conclusion: I will stick with Tablo for the foreseeable future but I will tinker with Plex as a possible ATSC 3.0 solution but who knows what is on the horizon for Tablo and ATSC 3.0?Īnyone else out there have any experience/thoughts? The server can be many different things (I’m using an old Linux PC) but most NAS devices will not support Live TV & DVR even if they can be a Plex Server. With Plex you need a Server, a tuner, and a subscription. For Tablo, you need the Tablo, an HDD, and maybe a standard or premium subscription.

Cost: This is tough so I will just mention a few points.

Winner: too early to tell but I suspect Tablo I am very pleased with Tablo’s commercial skip.

Commercial skip: I just turned it on with Plex and have not yet seen the results.

Quality: Early indications are that Plex has a better picture quality but that can be dependent on a lot of things such as my default for Tablo is 720p/5Mbps.

One thing I think Plex is missing is star ratings for Movies. I think I will become equally familiar with Plex.

Interface: This is a tough one as I am so familiar with Tablo.

If you want more flexibility/control and are willing to tinker with the setup then you can give Plex a whirl.

Setup: Plex is much more difficult to setup from both a hardware and software config perspective so if you are looking for simplicity stick with Tablo.

My initial thoughts using this for only a few hours: I have an old Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-950Q which is technically not supported by Plex but it seems to work fine. Does anyone have experience with both Tablo and Plex Live TV & DVR? Plex just had a sale on their lifetime subscription so I bought it yesterday and started tinkering with Live TV & DVR.
