Why are all my recordings going to the cloud, even though I pay for a DVR??? It is maddeningly slow to watch.

At the start of football season , suddenly all of my recordings get put on the Cloud. I do not want them on the cloud. I pay money to have a DVR so I can record them and watch later. I do not want to stream anything. It is slow and cumbersome.  Please stop doing this.  Why am I paying for a DVR if you keep putting everything on the cloud. I do not stream anything, for a reason. If this is the future of awesomeness, I do not want it! You need to refund me for the money I have paid to have a DVR.

I hear you man. I am getting ticked off when the game is being recorded on the cloud. Ehich means I can't watch it later on FF1 speed. When nothing else is being recorded at the time and I have only used 30% of my DVR space. The coaxial post was [Edited: Language]. As all my games recorded on the DVR last year. And this year the majority are being put on the cloud immediately.

"Majority" is not accurate-100 % since the start of the season is.

Likewise….hate the cloud. It’s very slow to respond to button presses and the fast forwarding/rewinding isn’t smooth. Another thing it likes to do is sometimes jump all the way back to the beginning of the program when hitting fast forward. We’ll be 45 minutes into a one hour show and hit FF to skip a commercial and we can see the status bar move all the way back to the beginning of the show. 
DVR is much better than the cloud service and I wish there was an option to disable it.
