Pros: Able to record 4 shows at once. Able to stream to multiple Rokus at once, and to remote Android, or PC with a Chrome browser. Responsive tech support.. Low power requirements.

Cons: none works as advertised

Overall Review: I was a 10 year mythtv user, and cut the cable TV cord many years ago. I upgraded to a multiple TabloTV setup mainly to save on the power bill. One year of not paying a cable TV Bill will pay easily for the TabloTV. The lower power bill is a plus. TabloTV is quiet and responsive, record everything. You will end up deleting shows you simply do not have time to watch.

Pros: Inexpensive for a 2TB USB drive

Cons: I tried to use this for video storage with a TabloTV. Initially it worked OK. The Tablo detected the drive and formatted. But after scheduling several back to back recordings all the recordings failed.

Overall Review: I suspect some sort of power-saving spin down mode. But that is only a guess on my part. A Seagate backup plus works fine with the Tablo.

Pros: work for what I used it for.

Cons: none

Overall Review: I used it to add a 256GB drive to a Pi-top with a Raspberry PI3B. Now I have a lot of room for my old Amiga disk backups from the 1990's, in a portable device.

Pros: rstp video stream syntax is documented in the user guide. Easy to configure with zoneminder or vlc. Manual Focus adjustment (first screw on bottom) Manual Varifocal lens(second screw on bottom) Easy to configure. camera from web GUI

Cons: Lack of documentation regarding the focus and varifocal lens. POE so does not come with a 12V power adapter. Web plugin does not work with linux so you need MS OS to configure camera.

Pros: low power so the greener solution

Cons: I returned my simple TV. I have been using mythtv as a DVR since August 2004. I installed a HD antenna in the attic as soon as the local stations switched to HD broadcast, and I cut the cord. So I know a little about the subject. I was looking for something that did two things. 1. Was a little greener to operate. My mythtv backend and frontend each has a 450W power supply. 2. Was a little easier for my wife to operate. I thought SimplteTV was the answer. But it has the following issues. 1. Some recordings simply fail. The reason is “Failed to tune the station”. 2. Those that fail you cannot delete. You can delete them and they appear to to be deleted, but later show back up as a recorded show. Eventually the “My Shows” will be filled with zombie recordings. 3. Time jumps back 15 minutes and you end up with the last 15 minutes of a show you didn't want to record and you loose the last 15 minutes of a show you did want to record. 4. The only way to fix #3 is to reboot. But when you do that you it fails to record for the next two hours “because the system rebooted while recording”. 4. Fast forward a show via the chrome browser and a recording gets into a state where it play a few seconds and stops you have to exit out and restart the playback and it plays a few more seconds and stops. Exit out start again. Well you get the picture. 5. Some recording do OK via chrome but Roko it gets into a loop and plays a few seconds stops re-synch's plays the same few seconds and just loops that way. 6. Watching the router firewall logs this thing sends has an enormous amount of traffic to/from the internet. Why? Based on my experience with MythTV all this need to do is down load guide data once every 24 hours or so an operation that takes 30-60 seconds max. It does not need to communicate with the “Cloud” each time you click on an icon on the Web interface. Way to much over head in my opinion.. 7. No control over the device it has a open port on port 80 and 23 (yep telnet not ssh hint this is the 21's century). But you cannot access the device locally you have to go through the my.simple.tv web page to access your local device. Again too much overhead.

Overall Review: Any bottle neck getting to the "Cloud" will stall this device. It simply needs to record a show on time to a local file system not check in with the "Cloud" for every little thing.
