I think you have 10+ years before 3.0 is your only option. Too many outstanding issues to resolve before the previous generation is decommissioned
I dunno if it'll take 10 years, but I agree that it'll be very surprising if the older ATSC is phased out in a year. A ton of markets still have zero ATSC 3.0 broadcasts, so the idea that things will be ready to transition in a year seems really, really optimistic.
It's just not consumer friendly. They have to fix it.
First off, how is their guide? I currently have a newer android TV and the guide is absolutely terrible; it takes forever to load channel information and doesn't seem to store the info so it needs to load it every time. My previous TV was nearly a decade old and loaded channel info so much faster.
Secondly, how are rescans? Does it remember what channels you deleted/hid when you you do a rescan. My area has a ton of doubles as well as the standard religious/home shopping/shit channels and I hate having to delete them every time I rescan because it takes 15 minutes and I always end up missing some.

It ends today.
Compare to the recast, it is absolutely fantastic tuner wise. The built-in tuner works so much better than the recast. All my shows come in completely clear and I am able to get channels that I used to not be able to get to with the recast. Another great feature is that it is supported on a lot more platforms, and the recast. Apple TV has an app and I no longer have to mirror my phone. It is not 4K, and you can tell by looking compared to other shows that I stream online, but that was expected and is good enough for just local channels and watching local football games. The only downside I've had so far is that I am not able to stream my shows outside my house, like I was able to with the recast.

I tried the Tablo 4-tuner model in January 2025. It worked OK at first but over time had issues. Occasionally when opening the app it would state it could not find the Tablo on the network, even though I could see it was online in my router's app (it had an IP assigned) & the Tablo had the "OK" status light illuminated. To fix this I would need to reboot the Tablo, which was frustrating as it was in a different room than the TV. (Since Tablo is a network tuner you place it where your antenna gets the best signal, this is the main selling point..). To work around this issue I hooked up the Tablo to a smart plug, so I could power cycle the plug remotely via the smartplug app if I had to reboot the Tablo.
Maybe I could have lived with that but there were other problems. Sometimes thumbnails would not be marked for recordings, which is a major hassle if you record a long program (like football) and want to skip through to review key plays/score changes. Sometimes the app would crash when playing a recording, which is very disruptive (obviously). So you'd need to restart the app (and hope it could find the Tablo on the network). I also noticed sometimes guide data didn't update. With this device if the guide is out of date you could not watch TV on that channel! A major problem.
There were too many issues.. returned it on day 27 to Amazon. Got an HD HomeRun and it works very well. I have never had an issue where the HD HomeRun can't be located on the network. Plex is a bit clunky as DVR software but it works well enough for what I need. I'd rather use HD HomeRun & Plex than pay Comcast/Xfinity $$ every month.
Check r/tablo on Reddit to see what other users are experiencing. If you are interested in this, go ahead and buy one to try it out. There have been firmware/software updates since January and the product has improved since then, but experiences vary. Another point to consider is that the Tablo comes with free guide data.. why??? Probably because the media company that owns Tablo (E.W. Scripps Company) is selling your viewing data to advertisers.
From Tablo site:
This is such a big defect that makes FF pretty much useless unless the recording is over. Please correct me if this is somehow okay now but I remember you were basically FF'ing blind.
I used Tablo with a Fire TV stick, one of the few media streamers that lets you watch in-progress recordings from the beginning of the recording. So if you start playing a recording an hour after it began and it has more time to record, you won't have thumbnails available yet. Depending on the show this could be a problem. For an awards show, no big deal but for sports, a big hassle if you just want to see key plays.
So if you know you want the thumbnails you can't watch a long show for up to 30 minutes sometimes after it ends... to give Tablo time to create thumbnails.
No ATSC 3.0 👎🏻
That's great because where I live atsc 3.0 has no plans of coming. It's not a thing.

Even if that's the case, why is it good to have less options?
