Tablo 4th Gen 2-Tuner DVR vs ADTH NextGen TV Box Gen 2

Buy the Tablo 4th Gen for whole-home DVR: two tuners, 128GB built-in storage, expandable to 8TB, and apps for every major streaming device. Buy the ADTH NextGen TV Box Gen 2 only if you want ATSC 3.0 and 4K HDR on a single HDMI TV. The Tablo is the safer pick: it has a 4-out-of-5 rating from about 2,700 owners, while the ADTH sits at 2 out of 5. The ADTH is the more future-proof tuner on paper, but its software and support are thin, and it needs a separate antenna.

• Choose the Tablo 4th Gen if you want to record free broadcast TV across several rooms and watch it on a phone, tablet or streaming stick.
• Choose the ADTH NextGen TV Box Gen 2 if you have one 4K HDR TV, want ATSC 3.0 channels now, and can live without polished apps.
