Watching pro sports
I asked this question over a year ago and I need to know if anything has changed...
I am an avid watcher of baseball, football and basketball and an Xfinity customer with
a DVR that has a hard drive. I record every game I watch. Last season and this season, Xfinity purposely caused all NFL
games to be Cloud versions instead of going to my hard drive. This year , they also started doing this
with the NBA. I fear next year, they will start doing this with MLB, which will be my red line.
Many times I need to speed through a game, and watching Cloud versions - which causes playback problems that Xfinity
denies even exists. Xfinity has never explained why they are doing this. So I would like to know,
if Directv has started doing this also?

DirecTV (satellite) still works with DVRs with a physical hard drive. The satellite service has no cloud based DVR. All they have is optional On Demand from the internet. That design hasn't changed in decades.
Any streaming-only service doesn't have physical hard drives.
With the new owner and the growth of their other streaming-only services (DIRECTV STREAM, DirecTV via Internet, etc.), we don't know if that will ever change in the future.
