As always, the only real gotcha is the cost. The Tablo DVR's entry two-tuner model officially costs $220 (a four-tuner version is $300), and unlocking all the features of the TV guide (such as cover art and out-of-home streaming) requires a subscription costing $5 per month, $50 per year or $150 for lifetime access. If you're a cord-cutter and want to use your Xbox as your central media hub, though, the up front price may be small compared to what you save by ditching cable or satellite.
