FCC Documents

Looks like TiVo might want to go head to head with Tablo.

Certainly sounds more like a Tablo.

[/quote]lmao “the plex gang,” how mad are you?

Are you 12? Did you even read this? Based on these documents and the statement by a Tivo rep, its Tivo that is going to be more like Tablo.

But maybe literacy isn’t your strong suit?

Looks functionally equivalent to Tablo… I guess this validates the Tablo concept with TiVo to the point where they’re come up with a direct competitor. The big questions will be selling price, and how much you’ll have to pay for the guide, unless the guide cost is built in to the selling price.

They’re praying it will succeed, so I wonder how long it’ll be before it’s nicknamed (wait for it!) the Praying Mantis?!

Good find. For Tivo to make a product like this, Tablo has officially arrived. Tablo needs to implement the features we’ve been asking for to keep its loyal fanbase. Tivo is the 1,000 LB gorilla.

I honestly thought Tivo went out of business years ago.

Nope. they even have a 4K box. Once they lower monthly service cost, should do well.
