Another shout out to Tablo. When we ditched cable TV I put up an antenna, bought a Tablo, put a Roku device on every TV, and.... voila! The Tablo does all of our OTA recording and streams it to any TV in the house through the Roku Tablo app.
I, personally, would NOT like to see Roku getting into the OTA DVR business. Let Roku be Roku and do what they do and continue to improve and show everyone else how it's done.
@Sonar , we had TiVo before with cable (I used the TiVo devices instead of the Cable company DVRs which suck). Then when we were planning to cut the cable TV off, I switched the TiVos over to OTA by removing the cable cards (not sure if any of the new TiVos even give you the option of doing either cable card or OTA). The issue with the TiVos was the subscription service. I had 2 Bolts and 2 TiVo minis. The Bolts EACH needed a subscription. I was costing a lot per year to keep them active.
The Tablo subscription you pay once. I only need one Table. I got the Quad so it has 4 tuners. I have 4 TVs. Living room has an Ultra, the 2 bedrooms and the kitchen have Streaming Stick+. The Tablo can feed all 4 of them at once if I want. (I've tested that, but the reality of it is we've never actually used more than 2 different streams in normal running).
So now it's OTA with DVR taken care of by Tablo, and we added Philo for those cable stations we actually watched (HGTV, Travel, Food Network, History, etc).
And Roku is the "one ring to bind them all"
So far this setup has exceeded my expectations.
