DVR vs. cloud recordings

The recordings made on my X-1 box DVR are good, but recordings made in the cloud are bad, with choppy fast forward and glitches. Xfinity customer service assured me they had a back office tech direct ALL my recordings to the cable box DVR, but they didn’t. Is it possible to get all recordings on my DVR instead of the cloud?

Your tek asked what box I had, and I just replied a minute ago, so I don’t yet know whether or not my problem will be fixed.

If you are on IP based cable service then they all go to the cloud. Also, certain cable boxes, like the Xi6 are all cloud DVR. 

IP Only channels will also only record to the cloud. 

What box do you have ?
