Xfinity DVR recordings recovery

We had recordings saved on our plan, then last week we were unknowingly switched to a new TV plan under the xumo streaming service. We got the service switched back within a week, and kept the old Xfinity flex box and everything works fine, even our favorited channels appeared but the DVR recordings are missing. Again, using the same old box that they were recorded on but isn't it cloud storage? Is there a way that this can be recovered?

Hey there, user_lw732c! Thank you so much for taking the time to reach out to us here on the Xfinity Forums. I am very sorry to hear about the confusion with the plan changes, but happy everything is back to as you expect it aside from the DVR recordings. Just to ensure, did you confirm the recordings were not in the recently deleted folder?

Hi, yes I checked and nothing was in the deletes folder. I thought they were to be stored in the cloud, and it was only a matter of days that this all occurred. Like I said, my "favorite" channels reappeared and were starred, but my recordings disappeared even though we are using the same TV box as before

@user_lw732c Sorry about that. If the account was closed, that could be an issue. If the type of programming assigned to your account changed, that could've also changed some things. We would need to review the account closer in order to assist with this. If you have not unplugged and restarted the Xumo box, I would recommend you try that first. If not, we would love to hear back from you via our Direct Messaging. Please send over your full name and complete service address.
