I pulled the trigger on this TABLO setup. Seems to be pretty feature rich and a little outside the box. The unit is up and running with an external 2TB drive for storage. I used a medium grade Amazon brand antenna I picked up for cheap. The unit does not connect directly to a TV, but into your house network. I ordered a couple ROKU boxes from WOOT yesterday to connect the DVR to the TVs in the house. That will also give me access to Netflix and HULU with a simple interface on a single device. I can also watch recorded shows on a PC, tablet, smart phone, etc... I can schedule recordings from any device as well. If I reconfigure my router, I'll be able to stream my recorded shows outside my network and watch TV remotely over the internet on any mobile device. So far so good. It was a little pricey to get set up, but I'm hoping the ease of use will pay off in the end. I should recoup my entire investment in tech within 5 months. It was more than I planned, but I didn't skimp like I could have. I did buy the 4 channel DVR and the 2TB hard drive.
