This is one of many reasons why I prefer locally owned and stored content. I'll suffer through the restrictions as a practical matter for some stuff, but I like best my local hard drive based DVR and local content, where only independent software devs (including myself) determine what I can do with it.

Yes, I forgot about that. I have Xfinity but use Tivo for my DVR so I don't have to worry about the cloud. Xfinity was talking about restricting commercial skip on it's cloud, but I don't know if they ever did it. The other reason for not wanting a cloud DVR is because you can't watch your recordings if your internet goes out.
