@user_h2v43c Thank you for reaching out via our Xfinity Forums. The short answer is The DVR does not use data that would go against your data threshold if you are using your DVR at home and connected to your in-home network. Below is what you can find in an article called X1 Cloud DVR FAQs on our website. 

 

 

Does X1 Cloud DVR count against the Xfinity Internet data usage threshold?
Downloading and/or streaming DVR recordings, live TV or Xfinity On Demand content will not count against your Internet data usage threshold if you are connected to your in-home Xfinity network. However, if you choose to stream or download DVR recordings outside of the home, this may count against your data usage threshold.
