If corporations are persons, and persons can build things, then corporations can build things, cuz they are persons.
This can be confusing, cuz humans are persons, but corporations are not humans, so which non-human persons are building things?
Haven’t worked out that one yet.

What do you think Tablo does? They assemble parts.
They DO write code. Good for them.
I can guarantee, every MythTV installation out there involves someone writing custom code.
Best I recall, it’s the court’s interpretation - “equal protection”. It’s some people-corporation/politatiion’s interpretation “corporations are people too” was somewhat my perspective.
Yea, ghost were people too. So they don’t even need to worry about setting recording priority any more 
Tablo is a Canadian company, do we really need to start talking about the US Constitution?
I was exceptionally bored (been snowed in for 3 days) because I really need to let it go.
Searched mythtv coding and surprised to find Coding Standards - MythTV Official Wiki
Here’s a couple points:
Use C++11. Avoid outdated C constructs like TRUE/FALSE macros, C-style casting, NULL/0 instead of nullptr, etc. Myth requires gcc 4.7 or above
Use Qt for non-GUI tasks.
I’m calling-in that gar-on-tee! Even if it’s custom… you have to have some basic understanding to get through this.
right, we should be in Requested Tablo Features (feel free to add) and suggest a constitutional right to set dvr recording priority 
Wait, I have a foreign product in my house?
Dammit, gotta go check that wall again. 
This sounds like a Dilbert strip written by Dr Seuss…
As AI takes over their heads will probably explode. At which point they will ask Alexa what’s happening.
We do indeed.
We just hope everyone keeps the back & forth civil. 
And every 6 months or so, we do ask pointed questions and for specific feedback in our user survey.
We’re almost due for another one. So feel free to start drafting your feature request screeds now.
Hate it when you make me look up words like ‘screed’.

At Thanksgiving of 2014 Tablo promised that the Roku app would have feature parity with the WEB app.
How has that been working out? It’s January of 2019 and if you don’t count remote connect it’s down to manual recording.
Maybe a little more time finishing off the features and functionality of all the apps versus changing existing functionality would be helpful.The WEB app doesn’t even have the Scheduled Coming Soon filter.

Did they really promise?
Thanksgiving of 2014 a new Roku app was released using a new underlying design. The statement was this new design was to allow for feature compatibility with the WEB app.
Toward the end of December 2014 Tablo kind of backtracked off saying various functionality couldn’t be done due to the Roku BrightScript programing limitation.
The hilarious thing was around Febuary of 2015 both SlingTv and WatchESPN released their updated Roku apps and they were doing some of the things tablo said couldn’t be done.
No offense meant, I don’t see a promise, and feature compatibility is not the same as feature comparability.
Feature compatibility is a super set of feature comparability.
Not only does the feature exist it also looks and functions the same.
Or at least functions the same. With feature comparability the feature may exist in some fashion but you may have to jump through different mechanisms.
With the Roku app these features didn’t exist.
Wow.
I almost sounds like they need to start with a clean sheet of paper, do the feature set right, and simultaneously make sure all the apps are full players with that feature set.
(This makes me think of the running joke with ReplayTV, around the question of “when will we get HD?” The answer was an unspecified “Q3”. Of course that year’s Q3 came about and it never happened, but the community never forgot. Everything from that point on that came up, the answer was “Q3”.)
well, but he actually said:
Parity has a very specific meaning.
I’ve never seen that definition, and am having trouble searching for it on the internet.
Ah ha!
Thank you for pointing that out.
@zippy, the whole compatability vs comparability discussion is irrelevant, cuz feature parity does mean feature comparability.
My bad, sorry.
However, I still don’t see a promise.
