IMO, Microsoft missed a big opportunity to better integrate cableCARD tuners with Xbox One.
I have 3 of the 3 tuner devices which for a total $15-30 a month cable card cost gives me 9 TV tuners. Fios is probably one of the most open providers here - they only DRM restrict the FX channels / HBO / Cinemax / the Fox cable channel groups…. Everything else is open. Some important use cases here
(1) Plex DVR service with a large DVR drive - can record many shows at once - use MCEbuddy to post process script it so that it will take the recordings, rip out commercials, re-encode to a small file size
(2) Channels DVR service - lets you play this both inside and outside home network using Channels DVR server on your PC — For inside home this lets you put a TV anywhere you have internet service - all you need is ChannelsDVR on the device or Plex
(3) This also lets you put a ton of old iPads or Kindle Fire HD devices around and use ChannelsDVR service to create a kitchen TV or gym TV etc.
(4) Firesticks can also get Channels application - this means that you can carry a Firestick with you when traveling and turn hotel TVs / AirBNB TVs / family TVs / any TV into your home cable TV service. This is especially great for international travel and turning international hotel or AirBNB TVs into your home TV service.
(5) Phones and tablets can access and stream TV service from Channels anywhere you have internet or cell service
(6) Can easily mount a TV outdoors and use internet service or ethernet connection to stream TV to that outdoor TV (using Channels or Plex)
Channels application is much faster and more stable than Plex often; Plex is more ubiquitous and exists on almost any and all devices.
