Possible Fix for "Ragged Text"

The satellite uses the native uncompressed MPEG2 video stream. The Tablo re-encodes the video to h.264 video, which even at the 1080p recording quality is not lossless. Hence the video quality not being comparable.

If you want the pure quality, then you should consider a DVR which does not re-encode the video. These include:

  1. NVIDIA Shield with Tablo DROID software DVR engine (to be released)
  2. Plex DVR with HDHomeRun tuner
  3. ChannelMaster DVR+
  4. TiVo

But the OG Tablo DVR will not be for you then.
