On the Legacy Tablo, which I’m still primarily using over the Gen 4, there are several features that I prefer which the Gen 4 completely lacks.
First is premiering programs. Legacy has a very clear section featuring when new and returning programs are airing. The Gen 4 completely lacks that option. Instead the Gen 4 has “Can’t Miss Primetime” which has actually promoted infomercials. Personally, infomercials are not my idea of can’t miss any time.
Second, Library on Gen 4 is a mess. I do not need to see thumbnails of programs which
currently have zero episodes for me to watch.
Take a tip from the Legacy that smartly divides the recording features in scheduled/episodes available to watch. On the Legacy, the scheduled area has two views: all programs which have a standard recording (all) and recordings scheduled for the next two weeks.
The Legacy has actual recordings in a separate area which offers the options of seeing recordings in various configurations: All, Recent (usually last two weeks), TV shows, Movies, Sports, Manual, and Failed.
Third, commercial skip. I would happily pay the $20/year to have commercial skip on the Gen 4.
