DVR records to cable box

I moved and now all my DVR recordings are not in the cloud but on my cable box. I spent 3 hrs on the phone with various tech support folks and nobody knows how to get my recordings back to the cloud so I can watch them on other devices.

the cloud DVR and home DVR do not communicate at all with each other. the scheduler server tells each when/what to record. did you take your home DVR to the new address? is it connected and working?

Thanks for the reply. My dvr is hooked up. It seems like all my recordings are going there now and not to the cloud. Also the tech mentioned that when I moved all my cloud recording would be available but they were all wiped out.

it sounds like they didn't 'move' but created a new account as the recordings in the cloud remain. they may still be there. can you see the cloud DVR programs using a smart device (phone/tablet)?  I have escalated your issue to the Comcast Team available to these forums. Check back often for a reply in this thread from a Comcast Official Employee.

You are correct. I see that a new account was created rather than transferring my existing account. All my cloud recordings are gone. The recordings that were in the cloud are now on my DVR which is full. I'm not sure if the recordings can be uploaded to the cloud so that they are accessible on my other devices.

Did you get a new username/password? You will get a new account number when you move just for clarification

I did not. I am using the same user name and password. I do have 2 account numbers. They have been unlinked.
