They don't seem to be plagued with the same problems as Tablo's have with the Roku.Īnd lastly. I've seen lots of videos where people were using NextPVR/MythTV in conjunction with these boxes with good results. I hear that channel changes on them are quicker then what Tablo can do. Like the Tablo, it encodes to h.264 so serving to iPads, Roku won't be a problem but nobody has them in stock right now but I understand a batch is on the way so here in a few weeks I might be able to grab one. (I want semi-fast channel changes.10 seconds is too long.) I looked at the Tablo but seeing all their problems and reports that it takes 10 seconds to flip from 1 channel to the other makes me not want to buy that device. Right now, it's running Plex and serving up everything (ripped movies, TV shows, MP3s, home movies, digital pictures). My HTPC is a mid-tower running Win 7, 8 gigs of RAM and lots of drive space. I do NOT have the need to record anything from these OTA channels.

I just want to be able to stream some OTA HD channels to the following devices Roku 3, iPad, Android phone, a few boxes running Kodi and a Shield TV that Santa got me. Hi there, I've been spending a LOT of time the past few days reading up on how to setup hardware to allow watching live TV on various devices and had a few questions.
