Tuners - Tablo Vs HDHomerun

[ari_tafari]

Is one as good as the other?
Are there advantages/disadvantages?

Hdhomerun is recommended. Tablo support is experimental and only works with dvr

only works with dvr

Could you please elaborate?

I'm sure what he means is that the Channels Client apps can connect directly to an HDHR tuner without needing a Channels DVR subscription. They cannot connect directly to a Tablo tuner.

The only way to use Channels with a Tablo tuner is through the Channels DVR server.

Tablo for Channels

You can now integrate the OTA tuners in a Tablo device into Channels DVR via Custom Channels. This is based on @TGZRyo's research in M3U from Tablo

BETA: Support for Tablo tuners

The latest DVR prerelease now includes native support for Tablo tuner hardware. Once your Tablo is setup, simply Scan Network in Channels DVR and your Tablo will show up to configure and use. This is based on the docker solution we released last year: Tablo for Channels If you have Tablo tuner hardware, try it out and leave your feedback below.

Thank you for the explanation.
I was wondering because I did not see a difference in my use case.
