Then there are the devices themselves. Now I have pretty good luck with the Amazon Cube, but there are devices and services like TABLO who are producing such garbage that they seldom work and the customer service refuses to assist or if they do they make up BS like you have to use approved third party devices like the no longer mainstream Western Digital for an added recording ability. Sorry if I offend anyone with my disdain for a failing manufacturer like WD> The Tablo offers such a small bit of storage for recorded shows and when I plugged in a top-of-the-line 1T Samsung (NVME M2) storage drive it is seldom even seen by the device. Of course, Samsung (not my favorite name) is among the top-of-the-line manufacturers of NVEMe M2 drives. If their device can’t recognize the approve protocols of the industry across the board then they shouldn’t be offering ANY such options.
