What is the maximum amount of cloud DVR storage you can purchase?
I was told by Xfinity employees at the stores that you get 150 hours of cloud storage for every X1 box you rent. Theoretically, how many X1 boxes can you rent with 150 hours of cloud storage each? I am already paying the extra $20 a month for additional 300 hours of cloud storage. What is the absolute maximum number of hours of cloud storage a customer can have?
Also, your DVR service in general is unreliable, glitchy, and an endless source of anxiety and headaches. I can't believe I'm forced to pay this much money for a service which auto deletes saved programs after a year and randomly deletes any number of programs at any time unannounced, which is absolutely ridiculous. A customer's recordings should stay on the DVR until that person decides to delete them, it shouldn't be up to Xfinity's bots. Customers like me pay your salaries, you literally only have jobs you have because of us. I've lost literally hundreds of programs over the past couple years. That's right. Hundreds. And yet I keep paying my bill every month.
A "network outage" on the northwest side of Indianapolis, Indiana this past Saturday, June 4, caused me to lose all access to the items in my "recently deleted" folder, so I couldn't retrieve any of the cloud programs I wanted to restore. I couldn't perform a "system refresh" because of this network outage. I've been putting programs older than one year into the "recently deleted" folder to evade the auto delete, then restoring them individually every day. Then I delete them again to put them into the "recently deleted" folder until the next day, then restore them the next day...a cycle I was performing every single day until this past Saturday's "network outage". That's the ONLY WAY to make sure programs older than 1 year aren't auto deleted. But I shouldn't have had to go through that trouble every single day to begin with. But because of this "network outage" in my area, I lost HUNDREDS of old programs I was manually deleting and restoring individually every single day.
You people need to improve your DVR service. Have a payment plan for UNLIMITED STORAGE like YouTubeTV. But have NO TIME LIMIT for saved programs. Don't auto delete programs after a year. Have saved programs STAY on the DVR a long as the customer wants. THAT is the service us paying customers DESERVE. Of course, nobody at Xfinity cares about giving the customers what they actually want, they just want to milk us for every penny they can.

Hi Jamie, You can record approximately 150 hours of HD programming on each X1 DVR TV Box. You have two options to protect your recordings:
How to Keep Your Recordings
Save the recordings that matter most by marking them with Save for One Year. Learn how with step-by-step instructions for your X1 remote, Xfinity Stream app and Xfinity Stream portal.
To make space for new recordings, delete recordings that you have already viewed or no longer need.
If you have upcoming scheduled recordings, you may want to reduce your number of stored recordings further to ensure you have space for your new recordings.
If your stored recordings were getting full, a letter was sent to you with a target % to get under to make sure you don't lose your recordings.
To see your current storage %, press the xfinity button on your remote, then click Saved, then Recordings. You will see the % full at the top-right of the screen, listed above your recorded programs.
