Amen and good nite!!
Agreed. And take note of your reference to “feature” rather than “core function”.

No more post from me…just posted two examples that have it.
WTF are you talking about?
You mean this thread where people talk about wanting it?
Tomato, tomahto.
If Tablo is the only one that doesn’t have some variation of that feature, then not having it is an anomaly. If every other DVR has some variation of that feature, then yes, it’s a core feature.
But you apparently don’t like my calling it a core feature. That upsets you enough to violate your stated boredom with the topic.
Zippy:
I think it comes down to manufacturers hype in many cases. “HD” antennas have become a signature selling point. It’s a bogus non existant feature. Antennas don’t differentiate between standard or HD. Some car manufacturers will “feature” certain items that others simply incorporate as standard equipment.
I view a FUNCTION as a basic means of accomplishing a task. A FEATURE as a means of facilitating or enhancing a function. A steering wheel functions as a means of controlling direction. Power steering is a feature that facilitates the function by making it easier. Just Symantecs? Maybe.
People want it and they will get it. To everything there is a season. Everything in its time and place. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for setting to limit the number of saved posts. We will lift our eyes to the cloud and see this saving happen! Yea verily the Tablo assembly will deliver it. Peace Bro. 
Amen.
You know, this part of the community forum is a place for feature requests–and this is a feature request thread.
If you’re not here to place a feature request, then why ARE you here? Do you and your buddy come here to trash on those who do request features? Is this how you get your entertainment?

Yikes power steering was a interesting example. The 3 major U.S. manufacturers all had different assist levels that augmented the effort required to steer the wheels. G.M had 70% assist, Ford 80%, and Chrysler 90%-100% . And a Chrysler required dedicated attention to keep it in the lane. Otherwise the slightest hand movement would cause it to drift.
I drive a “66” mustang with NO power steering and it steers easier and better then my Toyota. So sometimes the lack of a feature can actually be an improvement over an over engineered solution.

And the beat goes on. In case you haven’t followed this rant from the getgo he neither owns a Tablo nor a TiVo DVR yet comes to this forum not seeking help or advice but with much self righteous indignation about a feature he wants implemented here pronto. When challenged as to why he doesn’t simply purchase any of the other DVR’s implementing the features he’s so horny for - he remains silent. Not ready for Tablo and not ready to put his money where his mouth is. Time to sh… or get off the pot - ya think?
We here who have made the investment in Tablo, warts and all, have made many requests for additional features. Some have been fulfilled, others not. All in all I think the Tablo folks have made good decisions in the way they have prioritized and implemented many of those requests.
Every DVR on the market today represents a trade off between performance and cost and in my opinion none provide the complete package. Most of us here obviously have decided that Tablo represents the best compromise.

Agreed. My brother had a Buick many years ago that you could virtually steer with one finger. Damn how I hated to drive that car.
I would think a modern day car would be programmed to vary the effort required based on the speed of the vehicle, or is that already a done deal? Sorry to be off topic here but it is of interest.

Very nice. Willing to pay the price?
I too am very interested in the “save X recordings per show” feature. If i could only do it limited to per channel, and/or only through the web interface, that is no problem. It’s a real pain having to click through 45 episodes of the news to get to tonight’s broadcast. And I don’t feel like deleting one by one either. I suppose batch delete would be a partial solution.
Or at least sort the episodes so the newest ones are at the top!!!
Guys - we’ve heard you on this feature. We know you want it. We would like to do it but as I mentioned previously you’ll need to be patient a bit longer.
Can we stop with the mudslinging and the demon exorcism and the whatnot in the meantime?

I had already spent $637 for my TiVo equipment long before I went to Tablo. I never would’ve gone back to TiVo if Tablo had the “keep only X episodes” feature. Yes, I missed it that much. I know that many Tablo users are fine without this feature, I understand that to them, it’s a minor inconvenience endured to escape a cable TV bill.
Had these 3 things happened before I laid out $475 for a 4-tuner Tablo + lifetime guide data, I never would have done it.
- If I’d only looked on the back of my TiVo and realized that I could connect an antenna before I bought Tablo.
- If only TiVo would have offered me a lifetime subscription for $100 before I bought Tablo.
- If only I’d known that Tablo didn’t have the “keep only X episodes” feature before I bought Tablo.
So I paid another $200 for 2 TiVo lifetime subscriptions and now I am cord cutting with my (not so) old TiVo equipment and have all the features I like, including being able to stream to my devices with my TiVo Stream. I enjoyed using my Tablo, I really did. But to be fiscally responsible, I must now sell it. 
Hi,
I also want to mention it once more. Please add that “keep last X episodes” feature.
I don’t care having a Kodi plugin or a Windows Metro app or whatever new supported device. If I need to buy a Roku or an Amazon Fire or an Nvidia Shield or whatever else to have that feature, I will buy it because I love my Tablo.
But please, just implement the damn feature somewhere, soon !
