The AirTV and Sling combo combins BOTH the Cloud based Sling DVR shows with the Localy stored local OTA shows all on one list, you cant tell where it is stored except by know that say your NBC channel is local
Amazon has announce that only on the home screen for the Whats on now row just live TV now for both local and Playstation vue will be on that row. This makes me think more integration is coming as both the APIs are working together as in the announcement they said they would remove duplicate (say if a local is on Playstation and also on local)
I think this is the future (the integration). May take year but it is coming. Tablo needs to partner up and publish their API they already have an let others integration it does not just have to be on provide it could be all like Hulu, Playstation, Fubol, and Philo or even that new guy that is about to announce next mouth English Live TV called Vidgo
Just read an other review where it is confirmed that Playstation Vue, AND the FireTV Recast, AND the FireTV has a 100% integrated traditional guide.
They are also integrating the OnNow row (talked about here before).
Tablo needs to pick someone like Playstation just did an integrate.
Hulu, DirecTV Now, anyone.
AirTV and FireTV Recast alread picked Sling and Playstation hope Playstation did not sign an exclusive deal and they can still integrate with Tablo if Tablo wants them
This is only available to people who own a Fire Edition TV, and to future owners of the Amazon Recast. In order to benefit from this, you must own an Amazon Recast and / or a Fire Edition TV. It is available to a very small fraction of the Fire TV install base. Fire Edition TV owners comprise less than one percent of Fire TV device install base, Once Recast is released (on November 14th), those owners will also be able to benefit from this.
PlayStation Vue also has an arrangement with Apple, to be incorporated optionally into the Apple TV app.
One of issues with some Amazon consumer products is knowing what direction their UI is taking.
Some forums think Amazon is reworking some of itâs UIâs to be more âuserâ friendly. Are they thinking about consistent look and feel across all products.
Amazon is looking to produce more of itâs own content. Would this new content appear as channels in the grid?
One thing that is probably a given is that they would like to help keep you informed about all the various products that will improve your life. In the long run how might that manifest itself in Recast?
You know what I would appreciate is the possible reverse. Roku has a search feature that shows multiple services that have a show you want. What would be truly awesome is if that would search the Tablo data for shows already recorded and for upcoming episodes that you could set to record. I donât see this happening unless and outside developer creates the app however.
Since tablo is a very small fish in a huge ocean, it will probably only happen after the various big players develop an actual industry standard that pleases all the big boys.
At that point it might be worth the R&D investment for a small company. But you can always hope.
Reading more about one of the compeditors HDHOMERUN.
Looks like they out sourced their whole Streaming Cable service.
So if Tablo does not want to partner up, there is already a service out there they can can outsource to.
For the HDHOMERUN, Local channels and Cable channels are all the same guide.
HDHOMERUN could do the same thing. I am sure they get a small cut of profiles for everything that signs up.
I think this would be a big win. You would get all those Locals never found on the Streaming packages like METV, PBS, Comet and more . AND the top 30 or so cable channels with the DVR and Gudie all integrated.
HDHOMERUN does not work with Roku so it was a not go for me.
I noticed Pluto.tv integrates my Roku TVs OTA tuner into itâs guide fairly well. They might be a prospective partner to attempt this although the question is would Tablo integrate Pluto into their app or vice versa?
You clearly have no clue that airtv player is not airtv dvr. Itâs 2 separate products. The player neither has a dvr or hooks to an antenna. The airtv on the other hand has 2 tuners both usable by the dvr, it hooks to a router via WiFi or Ethernet, is viewable on every tv in the house (I myself currently use my airtv on 3 TVs. You should do more reading before you try to educate others and stop being such a know it all.
I clearly have no clue, as Iâve only OWNED one for the past YEAR and NINE MONTHS ⌠and bought the AIRTV2 within a week of itâs official release (over a half year ago).
The AIRTV player does have a (two-channel) DVR function and it does âhook to an antennaâ. Your attention is invited to this post, from August of 2018: AIRTV Player has some Great Improvements
For your edification, this is the product for which the above post was written:
Lastly: You are responding aggressively (and mistakenly) to a post that is nearly two years old. When you figure this all out, follow the links and digest whatâs being offered (and whatâs been said), youâll have a better understanding.
Iâm not being aggressive I just hate going on forums because there is always that one guy who thinks he knows everything and tries to over run everyone else who has a differing opinion. Your opinion of how I sound is irrelevant.
Secondly, neither the thread title nor the comment you replied to mention airtv player, you did and that was my point.
Lastly, Iâm not taking product specs from another thread on this site especially when you started that thread. You said that airtv doesnât have dvr and it does. Only if you add a hard drive. The player only has that function if there is an airtv present with said hard drive. I have also owned airtv for quite some time and I own the first one not the 2.
If you donât like my attitude or comment then feel free not to respond.
Why did you need to respond. I wasnât speaking to you. You were not a part of the conversation. This is why no one new comes to these communities. The older members have to team up against anyone who doesnât bow to them. Nevermind, not like there was anything useful here anyway. Have fun bulldoging your âcommunityâ.
Yes, you were not speaking to me so just deal with the fact that others have an opinion. I hope you can understand that people may not appreciate the negative attitude you displayed from the start. There is no âbulldoggingâ going on here, itâs quite the opposite. This âcommunityâ you refer to has been an extremely positive place where people come for help and share information. I canât speak for all of us âolder membersâ but for me, it has been a positive experience to participate.
Just a third part observer here but did you feel the need to revive a 2 year old thread because the information initially posted in it has always been objectively incorrect?
If so, and the product hasnât changed since that initial information was posted (which can happen, no idea if thatâs the case in this scenario, Iâm not informed about this particular product), I can support your posting now but your post does feel a bit aggressive. You can correct information without saying âclearly you have no clueâ and âstop being a know it allâ.
EDIT: Wait, do you have another older account or did you just join this community 13 hours ago?
I have no problem with others having an opinion sir. My point was that his opinion of my attitude was irrelevant to the conversation. Furthermore, I donât see how anyone could make an accurate opinion of someone elseâs attitude through a computer screen. The fact that so many of you have jumped in on me proves my point about how people in these communities behave. I came here because I was genuinely curious about the answer to the original question which never got answered not to start an argument about my perceived attitude. Perhaps, I chose my words poorly but there was no need for all of you to jump in. Please leave me be as I am done with this conversation and this community
It seems as though it might have been more than just curiosity about the question, but potentially to correct inaccurate information, if it was indeed inaccurate. Unfortunate you are choosing to leave the community because of that because if you were contributing to the cause by correcting inaccurate information that just helps the community.
