Quote:Ok you sickos. Here's what I found. The PlayStation Vue seems legit. I'm 98% happy with it. Nothing major to complain about. I figured out the pausing live tv thing. It was user error. But still only lets you pause 5 minutes of live.


Tablo...I returned that. IMO, great concept. But it takes my crystal clear uncompressed DTV signal and kinda make it look like crap. Also, with it sending the channels from the Tablo box to my Fire Box your now adding a wifi affect to it. Which means there is some buffering and takes forever to change the channel. Seemed to work pretty well but I'd rather not be able to pause and have a better picture and just type in the number of the channel I want and it instantly go to that channel. With Tablo you need to go back, back again, then choose the channel, then it asks if you want to watch or record the it'll buffer a sec, then you can watch. Certainly not for channel hoppers. However, if they made a Tablo that had an out to tv so I can just connect it via coax and still have the features then that might be better suited for me. So, for now, I'll just ad a splitter from my antenna so I can feed the other rooms. I may have to ad a preamp or hoping to get away with the splitter that amplifies the signal.

 

I'm doing the trial of PlayStation Vue myself and so far I'm very pleased with it.  As far as the recording of the stream, I'm working on a solution that will allow pausing for longer.

 

Regarding the over-the-air antenna, look into an HDHomeRun.  Since you are already streaming it might be the answer for you.  There is an HDHomeRun app for Kodi and probably is one for the Amazon Fire.  That's what I am using right now and it seems to work pretty good.  One thing that I will note though, my network is pretty much all wired with the exception of a few tablets and phones.
