cloud NFL

Year 2 of [Edited: Language] cloud versions of recorded NFL games...If you are forcing us to watch this way,

the least you could do is fix it so that when you use the 30 second skip, it DOESN'T revert back to the beginning of the game!

I've been following the posts on this problem since the beginning and am as frustrated as the rest of the people who post. 

Something very interesting happened yesterday when I was watching the playback of the 49'ers game. Sometime in the second half the playback jumped back about a minute and then continued. Later when I went to skip thru commercials the playback was no longer from the cloud. The cloud icon was gone and 30 second skip worked as it should with playback from the local disk for the remainder of the game. This tells me the even though Comcast forces playback from the cloud the game is still being recorded to the local disk. So it seems to me that it would be very easy to provide a preference option to select the source of playback - Local or Cloud.

@user_6423da​ It's funny you say that because at about the 2 :45 mark, the early game on the NFL network 

did the same thing.  If you followed the posts from last year, you may know that Comcast has never explained why they are doing a Cloud playback

and the best they could do was Gaslight us and say that is the way it has always been.  I would guess that Comcast will never give us a choice because the switch was deliberate.

Hi there, @tbill1! Thanks for reaching out to us here on the Community Forum. Sorry to hear about the trouble. Is the skip not working correctly on all games? Also, do you have issues like this with recordings of other programs?

@XfinityFrank​ This only happens on cloud NFL recordings , which are the only cloud recordings I see/have. for the 2 years of Cloud NFL

Very inconsistent. I had one game where it must of happened 6 -7 times. It didn't happen at all in the game I watched last night.

The norm is several times at least an hour into the recording all the way to 3 hours. And judging from the posts I have read, I am certainly not the only 

one having this happen.

Understood, @tbill1. If you change your mind, we are happy to work on this with you. As far as a widespread problem, I see nothing listed on my end regarding known issues. I do see other folks run into the same situation, but we would need to work on a one to one basis to try and get it resolved.

Frank - the issue is that Comcast chooses to playback ALL NFL recordings from the Cloud even if the customer has a DVR set top box. We pay a premium for that DVR service and DO NOT want NFL games played back from the Cloud. We are asking for Comcast to play back NFL games from the local DVR which was the norm before the 2024 - 2025 season.
