Yeah as others have obviously pointed out it is spun in the best interest of Tablo.
The true upfront cost is definitely higher with Tablo. In the given scenario if you required multiroom streaming (2 devices) + remote access (stream) then yes going with Tablo may save you money in the long run. However, IMO Tivo still probably provides a much better and reliable service overall and has a long established name in the industry to back it up.
For most new or average cord cutters, I highly question how much does multi-room / remote streaming appeal to them. I can see multi-room being more of a desire but for this you just need a Tivo Mini w/o the Stream.
How about a comparison of true upfront cost to a basic cord cutter?

I think Tablo definitely needs to adjust it's price model on their lines in order to stay competitive. The new price change and lifetime model by Tivo completely changes the playing field for cord cutters.
I personally as a consumer wouldn't consider a Tablo unless the price was $350 for 4-Tuner with Lifetime (even at this price keep in mind for 1 TV, it costs more after adding hard drive and streaming device vs Tivo).
I know before the permanent price change, Tivo used to do limited offer sales on their products where they include the lifetime with the device for a discounted price. I mean you could do the same sale model. Regular price $300 Tablo 4-Tuner. Sale $250 Tablo 4-Tuner, save extra $350 Tablo 4-Tuner w/ Lifetime included. etc. etc.
There's a couple things you could do...
I second the air flow suggestion for the quad. I kept mine just under my TV on a glass stand, and had several on going issues. I've since moved it to a wire rack shelf, in a room where I have a ceiling fan going 24/7. I have also bought 2 of these (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00G059G86/) as another redditor had suggested, but I find things are much better now with the sufficient air circulation that it has so I did not need them.
You use a network switch like this one: https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-Ethernet-Splitter-Unmanaged-TL-SF1005D/dp/B000FNFSPY/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=amazon+basics+network+switch&qid=1574819563&sr=8-3
You take the network cable from the wall into the switch, then you take a network cable from the switch to the Tablo and another network cable to the Amazon Fire.
That's it. Nothing to configure or fuss with and both things are functional at the same time.
I just (five minutes ago) bought a new quad on Amazon, prime two day delivery, $199 plus tax. Brand new.
