I'm beginning to miss the good old cable bundle with an actual hardware DVR instead of the cloud. At least in those days, your provider could not reach into your recordings and delete stuff without warning or regard for the fact that you paid for those recordings at the time:
"they not only cut off access to our live programming but also deleted all previously recorded shows and events from their subscribers’ libraries."
Will there ever be enough backlash that we all go back in time to actually owning our stuff on DVD's and hardware DVR's? With stuff diapering off streamers (and cloud dvr's), after the promise of watch whatever, whenever you want, anywhere; and the constant streaming price increases, something has to change.
I didn't even think of that being something that could happen. I've got to shows and movies on our dvr that have been there for years. We still use directv for various reasons and it's bundled with our cell phones/at&t.
Some is stuff that's not on streaming and some it's just easier because it's favorite episodes so I don't have to search for them.
